Gen Con 2015 I: Tides of Time, IS: Atlanteans, Munchkin Gloom, Three Cheers for Master, Jolly Roger & Rattle, Battle, Grab the Loot
Board Game: Rattle, Battle, Grab the Loot
• Gen Con 2015 finished just a few days ago, but Aldie has already finished chopping up and processing some of our four-day livestream broadcast into individual game demonstration videos. The best thing about these videos is that you're often able to see the designer of the game present their own creation; the worst thing is that you're sometimes in the video and don't want to hear yourself talk. (This last sentence probably won't apply to more than a few of you reading this post.)

Let's start with Portal Games' largest title at the show: Rattle, Battle, Grab the Loot, with designer Ignacy Trzewiczek presenting the game himself.





Board Game: Imperial Settlers: Atlanteans
• Trzewiczek also showed off Imperial Settlers: Atlanteans, an expansion for one of the runaway hits of Gen Con 2014, Imperial Settlers. More IS factions are coming, as he notes at the end of this clip.





Board Game: Tides of Time
• The third Portal Games release at the show was Kristian Čurla's Tides of Time, the design of which still amazes me with its tightness.





Board Game: Three Cheers for Master
• Jeff Tidball from Atlas Games presented an overview of Three Cheers for Master from designer Daniel Windfeld Schmidt.





Board Game: Munchkin Gloom
• Gloom is ten years old, and designer Keith Baker keeps figuring out new ways that players can live out the miseries of their characters, with Munchkin Gloom taking the familiar adventurers from that Steve Jackson Games title and making them suffer for your amusement.





Board Game: Jolly Roger: The Game of Piracy & Mutiny
• Italian publisher Ares Games had new releases for Sails of Glory at Gen Con 2015, but a 5-10 minute demonstration video isn't necessarily the best format for such a game. Instead Ares' Roberto Di Meglio and Jim Long presented Fréderic Moyersoen's card game Jolly Roger: The Game of Piracy & Mutiny.
