When I prepare the Gen Con Preview each year, one company that surprises me annually is Flying Frog Productions — not because they deviate from history in the type of games they create, but because they function something like a black box, springing all this stuff on me at once out of nowhere.

FFP did not disappoint my expectations in 2015, starting with the announcement of Dark Gothic: Colonial Horror, which both serves as an expansion for its 2014 Dark Gothic deck-building game and as a standalone game for 2-3 players. Here's an overview of the game:

Quote:
In Dark Gothic: Colonial Horror, each player takes on the role of a unique monster-hunting hero who collects allies and gear to aid them in their journeys while they root out evil and hunt supernatural creatures back to their lairs. Players must hunt down a series of increasingly difficult villains that are terrorizing the countryside before the land is consumed in shadows. Though the heroes must generally work cooperatively as a group to stop the villains from overwhelming the land, there can be only one top monster hunter amongst them when the dust clears and the final victory total is gathered.
In addition to this larger standalone game, FFP has two Dark Gothic mini-expansions: Curse of the Werewolf Game Supplement and Smuggler's Den Game Supplement. This latter title is nothing more than a name and image at this point in terms of available information, but I do have a short description of the former title:

Quote:
Dark Gothic: Curse of the Werewolf Game Supplement is a 15-card expansion for Dark Gothic that introduces a new "Werewolf's Curse" Secret card, which is similar to the Dark Secret cards from the main game but acquired in new ways. You can contract the new curse from a totem or a deadly face-off with a lycanthrope.

FFP's Jack Scott Hill notes that the company is flying in the titles mentioned above — in limited quantities, of course, although such quantities are always limited since the number of protons in the universe is finite, not to mention the available space in the Indiana Convention Center, but I think you know what I mean — but in addition to that trio of Dark Gothic titles, Flying Frog plans to have fifteen expansions and add-ons available (in limited quantities) for Shadows of Brimstone. Here's the list of those titles:

-----Shadows of Brimstone: Caverns of Cynder Expansion
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Caverns of Cynder Artifacts #1 Game Supplement
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Doorways into Darkness
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Badlands Expedition Game Supplement
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Serpentmen of Jargono Deluxe Enemy Set (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Masters of the Void Deluxe Enemy Set (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Guardian of Targa XL Enemy (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Scourge Rats / Rats Nest Enemy Set (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: DarkStone Brutes Enemy Set (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Trun Hunters Enemy Set (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Harvesters From Beyond Enemy Set (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Trederran Raiders Enemy Set (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: Burrower XXL Enemy (Gen Con Preview Version)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: SECRET Enemy Set #1 (Revealed at Gen Con)
-----Shadows of Brimstone: SECRET Enemy Set #2 (Revealed at Gen Con)

Whoa. So many things not listed in the BGG database or pictured or described in any way. Still, they're on their way to Indy!
