PAX East 2014 – Game Previews I: Zombies Keep Out, Villainy, Heat & Myth
Board Game: Zombies Keep Out
PAX East 2014 was a fantastic event, bringing together gamers and games from around the world, and here's a look at three upcoming games and one newly released title that were on hand at the show.

Zombies Keep Out

The latest title in the Bodgers line from Privateer Press, Zombies Keep Out has the goblins battling hordes of zombies. In this cooperative game, players must use cards to stop zombies, build machines, and avoid becoming zombies themselves.




Board Game: Villainy
Villainy

As has become a sort of tradition, Mayfair Games was showing off games that will be for sale at the subsequent Gen Con convention in August. One of these was Villainy, a game in which you play the villains, trying to be the one who topples the city's beloved superhero.




Board Game: Heat
Heat

Chris Cieslik of Asmadi Games took time to show us Heat, a heist game coming later in 2014 in which players try to collect the most loot while passing the "heat" to the other players.




Board Game: Myth
Myth

Currently perched near the top of the hot list, Myth from Mercs, LLC is a topic of much discussion. This cooperative dungeon crawl game was available for sale at PAX East, so look for many more impressions in the future.
