ACD Games Day III: Dead Man's Draw, Meteor, Krosmaster: Arena, Crap or Slap & Pick-a-Tatterdemalion

ACD Games Day III: Dead Man's Draw, Meteor, Krosmaster: Arena, Crap or Slap & Pick-a-Tatterdemalion
Board Game: Dead Man's Draw
• Time for the second post of game preview videos that I recorded at ACD Games Day in May 2014, starting with Dead Man's Draw, which was first announced as coming from Stardok but will now be released in late 2014 in association with Mayday Games. Dead Man's Draw comes across like a Circus Flohcati with special powers for each card suit that let you snag cards from others, dig in the discard pile, and more. Here's an overview from Mayday's Ryan Bruns:




Board Game Publisher: Mayday Games
• One other title coming from Mayday in 2014 is Meteor, which doesn't have a BGG page, a designer name attached to it, or other details. Hmm. Guess I need to work on that soon.




Board Game: Krosmaster: Arena – Frigost
• Eric Price from Japanime Games talks about the impending release in the U.S. of the Frigost expansion/standalone game for Krosmaster: Arena, in addition to other items set to appear in the line later.




Board Game Publisher: Twilight Creations, Inc.
• Kerry Breitenstein from Twilight Creations presents an overview of an unusual game coming from the publisher in 2014: Crap or Slap — well, unusual for this publisher in particular.




Board Game: Pick-a-Dog
• Okay, the Pick-a-Pig, Pick-a-Dog, and Pick-a-Polar Bear titles aren't new, but Pick-a-Seal is, with Hong Kong-based Jolly Thinkers releasing the game there and Gryphon Games releasing it in the U.S. Here's an overview of the game system from Gryphon's Rick Schrand:
