Videos from Gen Con 2014: Star Wars: Imperial Assault, Tide of Iron: Next Wave, Cross Hares, Gothic Doctor & Collapsible Construction
Board Game: Star Wars: Imperial Assault
• Wow, I can't believe I still have lots more game demonstration videos to post from Gen Con 2014, despite me putting up a handful each day for the past several weeks. So many videos!

Today's lot starts with a biggie: Anton Torres from Fantasy Flight Games on Star Wars: Imperial Assault, which was announced at the con and playable there at a few demo tables that you could barely see from all the people around them. Thankfully we had an uninterrupted view in the BGG booth:





Board Game: Tide of Iron: Next Wave
• We'll transition from a FFG title to a title that itself transitioned from FFG, a title that current publisher 1A Games is re-introducing as Tide of Iron: Next Wave:





Board Game: Cross Hares: Testing Ground
• And staying with 1A Games, we have a title approximately 180º in spirit from Tide of Iron, the rabbit-racing game Cross Hares: Testing Ground:





Board Game: Gothic Doctor
• Gothic Doctor from Levandowski and McNeill and Meltdown Games is one of many titles recently published through AdMagic, which appears to be both publisher and manufacturer for a number of newcomer designers.





• We'll wrap with a nifty line of gaming accessories — Collapsible Construction — that happened to be in a booth adjacent to ours. I don't know for sure since I was rarely in the booth, but I'm guessing we called them over when someone else didn't show in order to fill the blank time. Such is the way of conventions and live demonstrations...
