BGG.CON III: Galaxy Trucker, Through the Ages, Infamy, Buccaneer Bones & Velociraptor! Cannibalism!

BGG.CON III: Galaxy Trucker, Through the Ages, Infamy, Buccaneer Bones & Velociraptor! Cannibalism!
Board Game: Infamy
• To close out the videos from BGG.CON 2013, we'll start with an overview of Travis R. Chance's Infamy from Mercury Games, which was available for purchase at Spiel 2013 but not for demo. Since we didn't have an opportunity to film something in Essen, I grabbed the table in Dallas and now present you with this:


Board Game: Galaxy Trucker
• BGG's iOS News editor Brad Cummings posted an advance look of Czech Games Edition's Galaxy Trucker app in September 2013 after seeing it at Gen Con 2013. At BGG.CON 2013, CGE's Petr Murmak shows off how the game has been developed since that time, including an overview of the single-player campaign and how multiplayer pass-and-play works with only one device. (Special guest appearance by Beth Heile!)


Board Game: Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization
• CGE's Petr Murmak also gave an overview of the app for Vlaada Chvátil's Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization, which is in early development but which CGE anticipates releasing in 2014.


Board Game: Velociraptor! Cannibalism!
• Game Salute had a number of tables in the hot games section of the main playspace at BGG.CON 2013, and one of those games on display was Velociraptor! Cannibalism!, which GS demo monkey Peter explains below.


Board Game: Buccaneer Bones
• Designer/publisher Kris Gould from Wattsalpoag Games gave an overview of Buccaneer Bones, a quick-playing dice game that debuted (and sold out) at Spiel 2013.


Board Game: Going! Going! Gone! The Flea Market Auction Game
• I failed to remember to reserve a table at the flea market this year, but that means I was able to circle the room and record what everyone else was selling. Perhaps you'll kick yourself for seeing something that you really wanted that unfortunately changed hands three weeks ago, but if nothing else, this gives you an idea of the loot up for sale at BGG.CON 2013. Maybe you can join us next year?
