The BoardGameGeek Show: Last Bastion, Porto, Black Rose Wars, and Preparations for SPIEL '19

The BoardGameGeek Show: Last Bastion, Porto, Black Rose Wars, and Preparations for SPIEL '19
Board Game: Last Bastion
Board Game: Black Rose Wars
Board Game: Porto
We're in the home stretch of preparations for SPIEL '19 with only a week or so left for me to prepare as many game previews as possible, yet fail no matter what number I produce. So much to say in not enough time to say it.

To tide you over until the next actual preview, here's the latest episode of The BoardGameGeek Show, which we release roughly every two weeks on BGG's YouTube channel, with the next show being a live broadcast from SPIEL '19 on Thursday, October 24 starting at 18:30 Essen time (UTC +2). On this episode, I give a peek at Antoine Bauza's Last Bastion from Repos Production (which I plan to cover more fully within the previously mention week or so), Scott talks about Marco Montanaro's Black Rose Wars from Ludus Magnus Studio, and Steph teases Orlando Sá's Porto from MEBO Games.

Aside from those three SPIEL '19 titles, Rodney covers Carlo A. Rossi's Arkham Horror: Final Hour from Fantasy Flight Games, and Lincoln talks about the Harry Potter Funkoverse game (which you can watch from beginning to end on GameNight!).

Ah, yes, I still need to create listings for the various standalone Funkoverse titles as those should be plugged into the SPIEL '19 Preview, along with whatever else is new to me in Merz Verlag's 2019 SPIEL-Guide (PDF). Should you run across a publisher in that guide that isn't already covered in our SPIEL '19 Preview, please Geekmail the publisher name or note it in a comment, and I'll do my best to drop that info in place. Thanks!
