Game Overviews at Gen Con 2012: Memoir '44: Equipment Pack, The Resistance: Avalon, Z-Man Games & King of Tokyo: Power Up!
Board Game: Memoir '44: Equipment Pack
• At Gen Con 2012, designer Richard Borg talked about Memoir '44: Equipment Pack and a number of his other designs, including Samurai Battles, Cowtown and BattleLore. I offered a handful of fantastic ideas gratis, and I expect to see my insightful creations brought into production in future years. You're welcome, Richard!


Board Game: The Resistance: Avalon
• Jeremiah Lee from Indie Boards and Cards makes me a bad guy in The Resistance: Avalon and gushes enthusiastically while explaining the game.


Board Game Publisher: Z-Man Games
• I peppered Z-Man Games' Zev Shlasinger with a range of questions about what the publisher was showing at Gen Con 2012, what was coming in the future, and what qualifies for release under the "Z-Man" brand. Then I forgot to actually get demoes of those games debuting at Gen Con. Whoops.


Board Game: King of Tokyo: Power Up!
• Designer Richard Garfield talks about the creation of King of Tokyo: Power Up! and his efforts to broaden the playing possibilities of the King of Tokyo base game. We also talk a bit about SolForge, the digital collectible game he's developing with Gary Games.
