U.S. publisher Fantasy Flight Games had a number of surprise announcements, as is its custom, at Gen Con 2015, with the biggest of these being the revamping and relaunching of Runebound — now in a third edition — scheduled for release in Q4 2015.

The new combat system in Runebound that requires players to flip tokens to determine results seems to be incredibly divisive among players (who for the most part have not yet played this new edition of the game), and in this game demo recorded in the BGG booth at Gen Con, FFG's Anton Torres both explains this new system and anticipates the many objections to it.





Board Game: Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game
One of the other announcements from FFG was for Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game, a cooperative game of dungeon exploration due out in Q3 2015, which is the twentieth anniversary of the original Warhammer Quest from Games Workshop.
