BGG.CON 2015: Game Previews — Patient Zero, Automobiles, Flock, Crossing & Munchkin: The Nightmare Before Christmas

BGG.CON 2015: Game Previews — Patient Zero, Automobiles, Flock, Crossing & Munchkin: The Nightmare Before Christmas
Board Game Publisher: Split Second Games
• On November 18, 2015, opening day of BGG.CON 2015, I covered the licensing of Jay Little's Patient Zero by U.S. publisher Split Second Games, and during the con itself BGG News correspondent Phoebe Wild recorded an overview of the game courtesy of publisher Paul Imboden. There's nothing to see in terms of graphics, but plenty to see regarding gameplay.





Board Game: Automobiles
• David Short's Automobiles from Alderac Entertainment Group was originally scheduled to debut at Spiel 2015, but it didn't make that show in time, thereby turning BGG.CON 2015 into the debut convention for this bag-building racing game.





Board Game: Flock
• At BGG.CON 2015, AEG also had advance copies of David J. Mortimer's Flock in which players flock with their birds from one action card to another in order to increase their flock, feed their peeps, and dominate the action cards.





Board Game: Munchkin The Nightmare Before Christmas
• Halloween is long past and Christmas is still in the future at this point, which I suppose makes it a perfect time to find out more about Munchkin: The Nightmare Before Christmas, a joint effort of USAopoly and Steve Jackson Games to further Munchkinize everything in existence.





Board Game: Crossing
• Yoshiteru Shinohara's Crossing, a joint publication of Cocktail Games and Moonster Games following a self-published version in 2013, is a straightforward and quick-playing guessing and second-guessing game.
