The Fool and His Money
It's been five and a half years since I preordered The Fool and His Money, the sequel to The Fool's Errand, a now-22-year-old puzzle game for the Mac.
I've dared to believe it would be released before, and it never was. However, this time there's an actual teaser available.
It's much like the original, but updated with new puzzles and graphics. I have to say it's probably not worth six years of development time, but it is pretty cool. It includes a card game like in the original, but with new rules. Figuring out the rules is the puzzle, so I won't tell you them, even though I mapped them all out and their scores (or most of them ... I have been unable to identify any Rhadamanthine cards but the one, and two cards appear to do absolutely nothing). (There's also other versions of the puzzle in the game, apparently.)
Here's hoping the game is actually released this year! 
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
