BGG.CON 2015: Previews from Lone Shark Games — Apocrypha Adventure Card Game and The Ninth World: A Skillbuilding Game for Numenera

• You might have already heard of the Apocrypha Adventure Card Game from Lone Shark Games, given that it funded to the tune of $330k in mid-2015 on Kickstarter, but did you know that it's the precursor to what became the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game? Yes, co-designer Liz Spain reveals this detail while presenting an overview of the game to BGG News correspondent Phoebe Wild at BGG.CON 2015.

Another tidbit of information is that Spain mentions the currently targeted retail release date for the Apocrypha Adventure Card Game is Gen Con 2016 in August. Update, Dec. 10, 2015: Lone Shark Games has clarified that KS backers of Apocrypha should still expect to receive the game in Q2 2016, and the August 2016 date mentioned by Spain in the video corresponds to its availability through retail outlets.





Board Game Publisher: Lone Shark Games
• In early December 2015 I included Lone Shark Games' The Ninth World: A Skillbuilding Game for Numenera in a BGG News post, little realizing that Phoebe had interviewed co-designer Paul Peterson at BGG.CON 2015 about the game. Lucky you, now you can learn a bit more about living and playing in Numenera.





Board Game: Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Wrath of the Righteous – Base Set
• Speaking of PACG, the third branch of that game series — Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Wrath of the Righteous — launched in May 2015 from Paizo Publishing, and in case you're not aware of it, Peterson and Spain collaborated on an overview of the explosively demonic world that awaits adventurers this time.
