Origins Game Fair 2016 VIII: Wasteland Express Delivery Service, ManaSurge, Herbaceous, Salem, and Tau Ceti: Planetary Crisis
Board Game: Wasteland Express Delivery Service
• I keep hoping that we'll get a wave of post-nonapocalyptic games — you know, games in which people do fun things and enjoy decades of a satisfied existence among neighbors who are equally filled with the joys and frustrations that result from modern-day life, but apparently I'll have to wait a bit longer for such things as right now we are previewing Wasteland Express Delivery Service from the design trio of Matt Riddle, Ben Pinchback and Jonathan Gilmour and the publishing duo IDW Games and Pandasaurus Games.





Board Game: ManaSurge
• "A game of hot potato with fireballs" — that's the short description of Frank Sronce's ManaSurge from Daily Magic Games' Isaias Vallejo.





Board Game: Herbaceous
• Herbaceous is a press-your-luck set collection game from Steve Finn and Eduardo Baraf of Pencil First Games with great looking art from Beth Sobel in which you're trying to score different sets of herbs by mooching from the communal supply in addition to collecting your own plants.





Board Game: Salem
• Joshua Balvin's Salem has been in the works for years, having funded on Kickstarter in 2012 but making it into the public for the first time at the 2016 Origins Game Fair, with Passport Game Studios having come on board as a production partner.





Board Game: Tau Ceti: Planetary Crisis
• Tau Ceti: Planetary Crisis from Stan and Mike Strickland and Outer Limit Games aims to give you a 4X experience in space.
