    [I guess I should update Kitchen Rush and Time ‘n’ Space
    to “timers for pieces.” A Tale of Pirates also does that.]

    Rising 5 – Runes of Asteros [app] (It’s playable with a non-playing person
    instead of the app, but who really wants to be a game component if you
    don’t get to wear a silly costume and stand on an oversized gameboard?)
    SteamRollers – [writing]
    Whitehall Mystery [writing]
    First Martians: Adventures on the Red Planet [app]
    Planet Surprise [scratch-off (each set of cards can only be played once)]

    (Crazy Cereal cannot be played without the spoons lighting up,
    as they determine what pieces players are allowed to pick up.)

    A new version of Shadows in the Woods has been released by ThinkFun (best known
    for their Rush Hour puzzle series). Per U.S. safety regulations, it includes an electronic
    lantern. The government can’t stop you from using a candle at home, but either way,
    it’s not suited for Shabbos.

    Is making a puzzle on shabbos permitted?
    Please give a source with your answer.

    knaidlach, It’s called a Jigsaw puzzle so google jigsaw puzzle on shabbos. See MB SA O’CH 340,17 based on opening a sefer with letters on the side.

    Ten Candles (role-playing game) – the title is literal.

    (There’s a footnote in The Shabbos Home (vol. 1) which I need to go through regarding puzzles.)
