Arnaud Perez's PAC-MAN: Craze Maze is the most straightforward of these titles, with each player starting with a 3x4 grid of face-down cards, with their personal PAC-MAN occupying one of the center spaces. On a turn, you can flip a face-down card in your grid or replace one card with another, with the goal of creating a point-rich labyrinth that your PAC-MAN can maneuver through easily once someone finishes their grid and ends the round.

PAC-MAN: Craze Maze is for 2-5 players, is due out in June 2026, and will retail for US$15.

The anime series __Blue Lock focuses on the competition to become the top striker in Japan, earning a place on the country's World Cup team — and Blue Lock Striker is a 2-4 player adaptation of this series that plays in 15 minutes. That's all I can tell you about the game, which is shown in mock-up form here.

I recall visiting the Spielwarenmesse toy and game fair in the late 2010s and being dumbfounded by this teenager wearing a ladybug costume that was being licensed by SO MANY COMPANIES. Not being a youngster, the Miraculous cartoon series was a complete mystery to me, but jump ahead ten years, and now Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Miraculous ' lead character, is adorning a several-story building right outside the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center during Toy Fair. I guess that series has made a successful leap to the U.S. — or at least someone hopes it will.
