You were not put upon this Earth to "get it," Mr. Burton! But what you can get is the new Big Trouble in Little China board game coming from Everything Epic Games. They've started taking pre-orders for it, including for the deluxe edition. In the game, players are working together to take on Lo Pan and his evil gang. But will the forces of good overcome the forces of evil?
From the website:
There is a secret world where ancient evil weaves a modern mystery… they call it Little China. It’s where Big Trouble was waiting for Jack Burton and his friends as they uncover an ancient diabolical plot. The evil minions of the immortal ghost-sorcerer Lo Pan are waiting to chop down the players with axes and guns in dark alleys and all throughout the battle-torn streets of Chinatown. Now, Jack, Wang, Gracie, and the rest of the gang must muster up all of their courage, survive against hordes of baddies, and then face off in a showdown with the darkest demon of them all Lo Pan!

Well, now that you've gone and gotten your name on the list to get your copy of the new edition of 40k, let's get down to business with the regular affairs for Saturdays. That is, the Review Roundup.
Today we have: Carcosa, Pandemic, 12 Realms, 12 Realms: Ghost Town, Legendary: Big Trouble in Little China, Imperial Settlers: Aztecs Expansion, Space Invaders: Dice, Coal Baron: The Great Card Game, Saga of the Northmen, Wettlauf nach El Dorado, Get Rich Quick, Critters Below, and Honshu.
In this video I will teach you how to play including: Card breakdown, player and board setup, player turn, final showdown, and scoring.
I will also give you my thoughts and opinions on the game, but I would also like to hear what you have to say drop me a comment below on what you thought of the game.
Imperial Settlers: Aztecs comes with a 60 card faction deck for this new group. Not only are the standard Production/Feature/Action cards here, but Aztecs also incorporates concepts from the previous 3 expansions. Notably, the sets from 3 is the Magic Number, the Open Production locations from Why Can’t We Be Friends, and the Gear resources from The Atlanteans. So full backward compatibility here.
Space Invaders: Dice offers a number of different modes. You can play solo or multiplayer. There are also variant multiplayer rules which add a drafting element. Regardless, the gameplay is similar, you roll dice and destroy aliens of the matching colors on your sheet.
However, just like Space Invaders, you have to shoot from the bottom up, so it’s important to get the right colors at the right time. You take damage for any dice you can’t use and try to score points by destroying the most aliens.
In Coal Baron: The Great Card Game (yes Great is in the title), players act as managers of coal mining firms in mid 19th century England. Using cards-as-workers, players will take actions related to mining coal, building transport, and delivering coal to fulfill orders. Each order has a particular destination and players can also gain bonus points for those destinations or aim for more general objectives for more points. Hopefully it’s obvious that most points at the end of the game wins.
In true Viking fashion, the goal in Saga of the Northmen is to vie for control of Norse kingdoms throughout Dark Ages Europe (and a little bit of Africa and Asia) and then launch raids from your holdings to capture plunder and establish trade routes.
This saga is an unadulterated area majority design resolved through two phases. In the first, players contest influence in the seven major Viking kingdoms through back-and-forth card play. Afterwards, you’ll use any realms you control as bases to march and sail your armies into vulnerable neutral territories. Along the way you’ll earn infamy, or cash it in as a sort of Machiavellian currency. After three rounds the Viking Era ends. But will your story endure?
Wettlauf nach El Dorado is a deck-building racing game for two to four players. Players are explorers trying to be the first to reach the lost city of El Dorado. The first player to reach El Dorado wins.
Fortune is the name of the game, or rather, Fortune Points. Accrue 25 of them to win the game!
Each player has a hand of 7 cards, the same 7 cards that every other player has. From these cards, each player simultaneously and secretly chooses 3. When everyone is ready, the chosen cards are flipped up and resolved in order from 1 to 7
You’re in a room. It is dark. You’ve been eaten by a Grue.
Ok, not that last bit, but two out of three isn’t bad. For those of you who may wear tinfoil hats and are obsessed with the impending dawn of war, then you may quite enjoy the subject of my latest peek-a-boo as it’s set in a bunker during a war. Whoever chose to build this bunker clearly hadn’t heard of basic requirements like medicine or lighting. Perhaps they were cut from the budget during construction.
It’s hardly surprising that amenities such as a light bulb were missed as the inhabitants of this Stone-Age bunker are a bunch of woodland animals, the Critters, trying to survive a particularly hefty war involving a lot of bombing of a rather unspecific nature. The world is warring whilst our protagonists must wait it out in their concrete cocoon below ground. And thus we arrive at the name of the game in question: Critters Below from Antler Games

One of the game that's slowly building momentum as the year goes along is the Big Trouble in Little China board game coming from Everything Epic Games. Occasionally, we'll get a bit of a promo image of some art, a model render, or a look at the boards. Well, in this preview, we get a little bit about how the game will play, too.
From the article:
It’s a thematic, cooperative, strategy, miniatures, adventure game that allows 1-4 players to experience the events they remember from the film as well as create new adventures of their own. The game plays in two acts: Act One uses the front side of the game board: Chinatown, while Act Two takes place on the back: Lo Pan’s lair. Players will choose from six characters, each with unique abilities, and will use custom dice for actions, quest tasks and combat. They will also be able to use the communal fate dice, which come with a fun risk/reward mechanic. After completing quests and upgrading their characters, players will move to the back of the board for the big showdown with Lo Pan! Will the heroes stop Lo Pan’s evil scheme in time, or is everything gonna go to hell?

We've just got a far-East theme thing going on today, it seems. Let's keep that going with a look at some of the previews that've come out for the Big Trouble in Little China board game that Everything Epic Games has been working on. You were not put upon this Earth to "get it," Mr. Burton!
They told you to go to hell… and that’s just where you’re going... Play as Jack Burton or one of his brave friends, on the mysterious quest to rescue the green-eyed beauty, defeat Lo Pan’s ancient magic, and save Chinatown from his evil minions... in Big Trouble in Little China the Game!

So, it's coming up to 8pm. Day 2 is definitely in the books for Gen Con 2016. It's been a very busy day. I'm tired, but still pretty amped about everything that's gone on. And I'm sure you all would like to know about some of it. There's been about a billion things to see. So, relatively, here's a rather small percentage. More will come tomorrow.
CoolMiniOrNot has more than just all their cool board games here at Gen Con. They also are showing off new releases for their minis games, Dark Age and Wrath of Kings.
Got in early to get photos of the display cases for Ninja Division - Soda Pop Miniatures. Was able to see the new Super Dungeon Explore stuff, as well as some Relic Knights.
Steamforged Games is here at their first Gen Con. Their booth has constantly been packed with people. But I did get some shots of the new Guild Ball mascots, plus a little more,
Mantic Games' booth is compact, but also completely stuffed with their cool products. I grabbed some photos of their display cases as well as a demo of The Walking Dead (gonna try and actually sit down for a demo later).
USAopoly has a whole section devoted to running demos of the Harry Potter Deck-Building Game. Space is limited and they run out fast. Thankfully, Ross let me in to get som photos.
I was able to muscle my way up to a demo in progress for the Dark Souls board game at the Steamforged Games booth. It looked good. The boss is controlled by a deck of cards while the heroes are controlled by the players. The heroes lost while the boss had 1hp left!
Another big announcement coming out of Gen Con from CoolMiniOrNot. The team that brought you Blood Rage is back together with Rising Sun. It is a spiritual successor to Blood Rage, so if you know the game, it will be a bit familiar. However, it is an entirely new gaming experience. Coming to Kickstarter in 2017.
You were not put upon this Earth to "get it," Mr. Burton! But what you can get here is Legendary: Big Trouble in Little China, Complete with the Pork Chop Express
Just finished up a great demo here at the Anvil Eight Games booth. Frontline No Komrades was hilarious and quick. Definitely stop by to try it out. I got me a copy.
