Spiel 2015 Preview: They Come Unseen, or 1970s Game Design Today

Spiel 2015 Preview: They Come Unseen, or 1970s Game Design Today
Board Game: They Come Unseen
The most amazing thing about They Come Unseen from Andrew Benford and Osprey Games is that the game originated in the 1970s, when Benford was a commander in the British navy. He designed the game during that time and played it on board with other members of his crew — yet the design sounds thoroughly modern in how Osprey's Duncan Molloy explains it during Gen Con 2015. (I, on the other hand, sound thoroughly out of it in not knowing Osprey's history of wargames.)

They Come Unseen is due out October 20, 2015, after first debuting at Spiel 2015 earlier in October.
