I love that 3 of these look like completely random strings of letters, as if a cat walked on your keyboard.

Haha that’s project GIPF for you! Might be how they all got their names! Shobu is not part of the series though, but is another one of the greatest abstracts ever! The publisher than made boop did that one, which is already on BGA. Boop is great, but really hoping they add Shobu, it’s a master piece and one of the greatest takes two minutes to learn yet someone how infinitely deep games out there!

• Food Chain Magnate/Ketchup Mechanism
• Brass: Lancashire
• Brass: Birmingham
• Brass: Pittsburgh
• 1830: Railways & Robber Barons
• 1889: Shikoku
• 18Chesapeake

Let's talk about this list.

Brass: Lancashire is now in alpha. The designer has also mentioned that all of them will come to bga.

While those specific 18XX are not on the platform, both 1835 and 18RoyalGorge are in alpha right now and more will probably come. There are also some cube rails in alpha, like both Ride the Rails and Iberian Gauge in the Iron Rails series.

Splotter recently had a game added to bga for the first time in Bus. More might come, first from a publisher is the hardest. I personally am hoping for Indonesia.

1. Dune (2019)
2. Cerebria
3. Trickerion
4. The Old King's Crown
5. Great Western Trail: New Zealand & Argentina

Root would be amazing but seems unlikely as it has a digital version already.

Probably best that those games aren't on BGA or I'd never stop giving the site money

Venice would be a great game

Les Charlatans de Belcastel
Athlètes de Compète
Emblemes
Smile Life
Bristol

Calico
Cascadia
Root
Everdell

There are severel board games here that have a digital version, like Wingspan (steam, phone, tablet versions), Ark Nova, Terraforming Mars and probably many others... So this isn't really a criteria for ruling out Root (or other games).
