BGG.CON 2015: Game Previews — Shadows over Normandie, Deception, Champions of Midgard, Onitama & Saloon Tycoon

BGG.CON 2015: Game Previews — Shadows over Normandie, Deception, Champions of Midgard, Onitama & Saloon Tycoon
Board Game: Shadows Over Normandie: Achtung! Cthulhu
• Yann and Clem's Shadows over Normandie, co-published by Devil Pig Games and IELLO, is an otherworldly companion to their WWII game Heroes of Normandie, with the two games being integrable should you care to go down that path.





Board Game: Deception: Murder in Hong Kong
• Hong Kong-based Jolly Thinkers first released Tobey Ho's CS-Files in 2014, but the game was reborn as Deception: Murder in Hong Kong at Spiel 2015, and now Grey Fox Games is re-releasing the game in the U.S., with players out to catch a killer — or get away with a crime if they happen to be the killer.





Board Game: Champions of Midgard
• We covered Ole Steiness's Champions of Midgard from Grey Fox Games in our Gen Con 2015 video round-ups, but in case you haven't heard of the game already, BGG News correspondent Phoebe Wild recorded this overview at BGG.CON 2015.





Board Game: Onitama
• I posted a video explanation of Shimpei Sato's Onitama in September 2014, but if the game is new to you, you can learn about this clever perfect information strategy game that Arcane Wonders plans to release in a new version in March 2016.

• Designer Rob Couch first released Saloon Tycoon — a building and tile-placement game in which you're trying to build up your reputation in the Old West by plying drinks to townies — as a print-and-play design. Now Van Ryder Games has licensed the game and plans to head to Kickstarter for funding in Q1 2016.
