Z-Man Games will release Malta!, a “quick and nasty game” for two to six players designed by Tim Mierzejewski, in September.  The object of the game is to survive the longest, which requires players to assist in the downfall of others.  Players lose by having no cards during a turn, and being unable to move during the move phase. 

Rules are easy to learn, but the simple rules and the variety of card powers make for some interesting choices.
