Videos from Gen Con 2014: Shadows of Brimstone, Dark Gothic, Alien Uprising, Spurs & Clockwork Kingdom
Board Game: Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients
• Let's get to another handful of game demonstrations in the BGG booth during Gen Con 2014, starting with the giant boxes of Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients and Shadows of Brimstone: Swamps of Death from designer Jason C. Hill and Flying Frog Productions.





Board Game: A Touch of Evil: Dark Gothic
• Flying Frog was also showing off Hill's deck-building game A Touch of Evil: Dark Gothic, which I had previewed at Gen Con 2013. How quickly time rolls over...





Board Game: Alien Uprising
• Alien Uprising, which debuted at Gen Con 2014, has players fighting off the threat named in the title in this large design from Richard Launius and Mr. B Games owner Sean Brown.





Board Game: Spurs: A Tale in the Old West
• Sean Brown's first release from Mr. B Games, which debuted at Origins 2014, was Spurs: A Tale in the Old West from Ole Steiness, with Brown picking up a co-design credit through his development work on the game while bringing it to print.





Board Game: Clockwork Kingdom
• Brandon Allen's Clockwork Kingdom from Mr. B Games was one of many designs — dozens of designs really — that were being shown at Gen Con 2014 prior to or concurrent with a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. I doubt that practice will diminish in the years ahead.
