Starting off the hotness were two titles from Thunderworks Games

Fliptoons and Citizens of the Spark are two titles I saw being bought a ton and being played a bunch at tables around the con. Both lighter games and both very easy to play and learn.

Another big hotnesses I saw at the show was Cip Theory’s The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era with a new Crowdfunding coming before end of the year.

Reported to be in the new campaign--a reprint and two new areas, two new classes,some other things to add to game play,and  an all in one storage solution.

I am always a sucker for Gloomhaven as we all know, At their booth they unveiled the new Mercenary packs they will be releasing

Hail, Irritable Enchanter; Anaphi, Fallen Lion; Satha, Mayor of Frosthaven; and Cassandra, Forgotten Diviner (From Forgotten Circles)

All are now available on their site for $20 each

Next up a game I played and liked and got some buzz was Koi by DV games. (`$45)

I mentioned both of these in the past but I got to see more about UVS games upcoming TMNT Set and the big thing which was all the rage but not for sale just yet was more unveiling of info and cards for Riftbound the LoL CCG

Speaking of CCG, Upper Deck was showing off their new CCG as well called Rush of Ikorr, which seems to be a familiar CCG system but incorporating transparencies kinda like games like Mystic Vale to change things up in the decks

CD Project RED unveiled The Witcher Legacy, listed on BGG as a 2027 release, which will be hitting Gamefound soon (more in the future once it’s up)

Catalyst Game Labs, partnering with Crunchyroll will put out My Hero Academia Miniatures Game (Coming soon to KS)

All miniatures will come preassembled and with a high quality pre-paint: a great premium collectible for easy, right-out-of-the-box plays.

Ascendancy Underworld

Beasts and Diplomacy

Flip Voyage + Fliptown New Frontier

Land Vs Sea Uncharted Plus Meeples
