![BGG.CON 2015: Game Previews — Apollo XIII, Titan Race, Bottom of the 9th, Skyway Robbery & Battle Merchants: New Kingdoms](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/qoh5Tm4h3YCy1l3_rfdhEA__thumb/img/XxWVSDMQFJxsTq1bR8yyn48QYAE=/fit-in/200x150/filters:strip_icc()/pic2578923.jpg)
Many months have passed, and now we have a different overview video courtesy of BGG News correspondent Phoebe Wild, who stopped by the Passport Games Studios booth at BGG.CON 2015. Passport will distribute Apollo XIII in the U.S. starting in early 2016, and it showed off the game thusly:
• Passport will also distribute Julian Allain's Titan Race from Funforge in the U.S., with this title having been a stealth release at Spiel 2015 as Funforge hadn't been sure whether it would arrive in time even days before that event started.
• For those who complain about baseball being boring, designers Darrell Louder and Mike Mullins have a solution for you: Bottom of the 9th, a two-player game from Dice Hate Me that boils everything down to a single half-inning of play. (It was either this or baseball players alternating whacks at a piñata, and this won out.)
• I love the look of Philip duBarry's Skyway Robbery from Game Salute, partly because the cover on its own is so attractively done and partly because it reminds me of K. W. Jeter's excellent science-fiction novel Farewell Horizontal — who, coincidentally, is credited with coining the term "steampunk".
• Designer Gil Hova has created Battle Merchants: New Kingdoms, a small expansion for his weapon-dealing game Battle Merchants from Minion Games that adds new cards, new rules, and an updated Kingdom card deck.
