This week brings a wave of exciting new releases that are not only fun to play but also worth considering for your collection. Let’s take a closer look at what’s coming in.
Dragon Shield Matte Dual Sleeves – Gooseberry & Blossom

Collectors often overlook sleeves, but these Dragon Shield Matte Duals are more than just protection—they’re style statements. The Gooseberry offers a unique green tone not commonly seen in the lineup, while Blossom delivers a soft pink hue that stands out beautifully in any deck display. Both will make your binders and boxes pop, while also holding long-term value as Dragon Shield tends to retire or rotate certain colors.
Heroscape: Molten Crustaceans and Tanuki Tricksters Army Expansion

Heroscape’s return has been one of the most exciting revivals in recent years. This expansion is notable for introducing the Molten Crustaceans, which are visually striking minis, alongside the quirky Tanuki Tricksters. For collectors, this set adds both thematic depth and sculpt variety to your army collection. Early expansions like this tend to become highly sought after once out of print.
Diplomacy: Era of Empire

Diplomacy has always been a staple for collectors of historic and negotiation-based games. This new edition, Era of Empire, adds refreshed artwork and design that makes it a centerpiece-worthy edition. Collectors will want to secure this while it’s fresh—special editions of Diplomacy have consistently held their place in the hobby.
Monsters Menace The World

This one is pure nostalgia and spectacle. Monsters Menace The World brings a kaiju theme into the board game world with wild artwork and city-smashing fun. For collectors, it’s a thematic gem that stands out on the shelf, perfect alongside other monster-related titles.
Axis & Allies: Stalingrad

The Axis & Allies series has long been a collector’s dream, and Stalingrad continues the tradition. Focused on one of WWII’s most pivotal battles, this edition is both a playable experience and a historical artifact for your library. Collectors who track individual Axis & Allies releases will not want to miss this one—it’s bound to become a cornerstone of the series.
These releases are available this week at The Hidden Lair. If you’re a collector, this is the time to pick them up before they become rare finds.
