Gen Con 2014 Preview: XCOM: The Board Game
Board Game: XCOM: The Board Game
We're recording one hundred or so game demo videos at Gen Con 2014, streaming those demos live, then cutting up the feed later to post individual demos on game pages — but given the incredible interest in Eric Lang's XCOM: The Board Game, which Fantasy Flight Games announced the week before Gen Con, we went through the effort of editing and posting that video now to show off the game in more detail.

Once the con ends and we recover for a few days, we'll start working on everything else and posting it on BGG's YouTube channel, the individual game pages, and this space.
