If you hadn’t seen Handelabra has teased a new game https://twitter.com/handelabra/status/917809584324202497 which has this link http://handelabra.com/game3
This page is only a countdown though so we’ve got most of this month to speculate what they might be working on.

I might guess Spirit Island given its overall success...
The update did say odd choice; Spirit Island would actually make more sense.
I remember a year or two at one of the GenCon GTG Q&A's (say that ten times fast), it was said that Handelabra was interested in making Compounded into a game.
That could be interesting.
EDIT: Source I was referring to. https://youtu.be/ke3itOtL_9U?t=2466
Spirit Island would be a pretty involved adaptation, I would be surprised if it were ready so soon. I expect that "odd" has something to do with the game.
I'mma go out on a limb: Galactic Strike Force.
GSF would be an interesting choice, but I think there would need to be more public interest or a rerelease/v2.0 of the game in order to make it worthwhile.
It's always found it telling that I can buy Galactic Strike Force + Expansion + Minis on the GTG store for cheaper than buying just the base game from them (found that one out a few months ago when I was considering buying the game). That reads to me like they're trying to dump stock.
I’m pretty confident it’s not GtG related. I’m just not sure who else they’re working with.

Deck Building the Deck Building game maybe?

GSF would work better with some automation, though.
Don't get me wrong, I really like it. There's just a lot of moving parts
I don't know what makes me different and I don't care. Maybe it's not my problem, but why do they stare? - The Living End, Strange
The Handelabra twitch page is hosting a stream by Penny Arcade playing One Deck Dungeon. If this isn’t the mystery new game they’re making then this is a terrible tease.

And it looks like you would be right, Powerhound.
And it looks like just the sort of game I'd have fun playing, which makes me happy.

We did say it was an ODD choice didn't we?

The answer was there all along. How truly ODD

I'm very excited for this! One Deck Dungeon is one of my favorite new games of the last year and a fantastic solitaire game. My only gripe with it is the bookkeeping aspect, so having a digital implemenation of it will be most excellent.
Fingers crossed for an iOS version as well as this would be an amazing game to play during breaks on my iPhone or on my iPad while multi-tasking.
Time for some scientific action!

Oh my GODD, you guys.

The physical version is a fun little game! Lots of interesting decisions to make!

From the look of the physical game, I feel like a digital version is the way to go. I want to see a little more before I back, but for ten bucks, I can't see a reason not to. :)
The game is absolutely a blast to play. It very much has a rogue-like feel. It's accessible, but a more experienced player will know what to look for in terms of skills that combo well together, and can create some really amazing builds. And then you still get brutally murdered when you roll 1's against a Phantom.
I can't wait to see John and Jeremy playing this on Stream. Also looking forward to the dev streams!

It looks a lot like Elder Sign-ish style gameplay with D&D-style thematics, which is all the pitch I need really.

Yeah, I figure it's the card equivalent of a Roguelike computer game - never played the original Rogue (don't even know what it looks like), but I've spent many hours in a game called Caveblazers which is pretty fun and which I know is along those lines (similar to another game called Spelunky). Out of curiosity I just Googled for the physical game and it's out of stock at Games Lore and over a hundred quid(!?) on Amazon :O. So I'm guessing it's been around long enough to go out of print or something, because wow.

They recently completed a Kickstarter for an expansion and reprint.
Also note that some of the sets are printed on plastic cards, which are more expensive. That might be part of why that set was so much money.

Hmm, looking at that link it appears I can still pre-order the game and/or expansion from there,a nd a little further digging on the Kickstarter's main page has turned up the shipping costs. A quick check of the Google currency converter shows that it would cost me over 40 quid for both the base game and expansion, plus shpping. Hm. Maybe I'll think about it - I'm not sure who I'd get to play it with, anyway.
