Here’s what I saw and played and saw, but I will preface this by saying there wasn’t a lot of new, cool stuff I was interested in:
STARSHIP SAMURAI - fiddly but awesome fighting space game. Influence track based. Great models.
GEN7 - Really neat legacy style game about manning and maintaining a generation colony ship. Great theme, game isn’t my thing but I really think people will.
13 MINUTES - a microgame that tried and fails to emulate 13 Days. Horrible game.
SPORTS DICE: FOOTBALL - Really dumb dice game that I think can be fixed.
CRISS CROSS - Really dumb roll and write crossword type game with symbols and a couple of dice.
REMNANTS - Cool dice and card driven postapoc game. Was the one game I wanted to pick up.
CURIO - Puzzly game like escape games but that is replayable. VIRTUALLY themeless.
YELLOW AND YANGTZE - They made a Tigris and Euphrates with a Chinese setting. Really looks great. If I didn’t hate T&E it would be an autobuy.
DISTRICT 9 TBG - Incredible looking game. Must have, despite knowing I’ll never get to play it.
NEON GODS - Cool area control game with a cool alt-90’s vibe setting. Fighty as hell.
Pandemic Rising Tide - Really bad ass new Pandmeic version about global warming or something involving rising seas.
ARTEMIS PROJECT - Like Alien Frontiers mixed with Aquasphere. Million ways to score points.
Huge News:
ASCENDING EMPIRES IS GETTING A REVISED EDITION.
STONE AGE ANNIVERSARY EDITION releases in a couple of months, has great upgraded components. I’m going to preorder

When you say District 9 was "incredible looking", is that "incredibly fun to play-looking" or just "incredibly well produced-looking"?

I like it a lot better than their robot fighting game.

I demoed Starship Samurai at Origins. It's a fun, light area control game. Not as deep as my group generally goes. The mechs are cool.
I bought Street Masters... like all of Street Masters. Also got Zpocalypse 2 and its expansion for a deep discount. I've had my eye on it for a while, it looks like it has some stand-out elements. Met the designer, he was cool.

It was literally the only game being played this weekend where people were howling with joy. I didn't find out about it until after the exhibit hall was closed though, so I leave without a copy. Man-baby tears.

FUUUUCK. I wish I’d have known. I’m one of the three people who thought Zpoc was the pinnacle of Zombie game design. When you get sick of it sell it to me

It's also, I'm sorry to say, a glorified version of Battleship.

Played this a couple of times today and didn't get that impression at all. Still feeling it out. Any other thoughts on it?hotseatgames wrote: Completely forgot that I demoed the new Death Note: Confrontation game. This is a 2 player game, with one player controlling Kira, and the other L.

I'm basing all of this on spending about 8 minutes with the game.
