Upcoming 2014 games of interest

Just wondering what's on everyone's radars and why.

Battle of the Five Armies - A followup to WotR, I know little about it, but just being a followup to WotR is enough for me. Waiting for reviews.

Dead of Winter - Really hoping this one is as good as the hype. It seems really cool and extensively playtested, but I haven't been too impressed with PHG outside of Summoner Wars.

Sons of Anarchy - Don't know anything about it, but it's this year's Gale Force 9 game which is easily enough to make me pay attention.

King of New York - Richard Garfield's follow up to King of Tokyo, same deal as the above Sons of Anarchy, interested by default, don't know anything.

Spurs - An old west adventure game. It seems cool, but the low number of components worry me. Hopefully demoing at Origins next week.

Alien Uprising - I was so close to backing this on KS, it seemed really cool and was designed by Richard Lanius, hoping to play it first, maybe it'll be demoed at Origins too?

Doomtown: Reloaded - Ok, this is a semi-reprint in another skin, but Doomtown was a fun game. Looking to hear how this plays out of the box.

Sheriff of Nottingham - A re-theming of Hart an der Grenze, which has never had a US release, there are apparently other changes too. I'll probably pick this up unless the changes look bad, I like the theme of smuggling drugs more, but I'll live.

Shadows of Brimstone - Mostly interested if this game can live up to it's promises or if it's another bland Flying Frog game. The theme is cool.

Diamonds - A trick taking game in the vein of traditional card games designed by Mike Fitzgerald. Always interested in his work.

Baseball Highlights - Another Fitzgerald game, this seems kind of like BB:TM, but geared for two players.

SeaFall and Dead of Winter are the only two that have caught my interest. And thank Christ for that. I've spent about a third the amount on games in 2014 than I spent by this time last year.

Hotseatgames has extensive knowledge and experience with Dead of Winter and said it rocks, and Jerry Hawthorne indicated it was pretty awesome.

High praise from people with AT tastes is a good sign.

Sadly, none of the mainstream games recently interest me much, including Dead of Winter. I'm really looking to get some of the games I've missed over the past couple of years.

Hey, the Kremlin reprint is going to be on shelves soon. US backers should be getting their copies this week.

I'm excited to get my copy of Dead of Winter. People won't be disappointed; if the setup appeals to you, you will be happy.

I also really want my copy of Incursion from kickstarter.

I will likely grab the Warhammer Diskwars expansions when they drop.

I don't know anything about King of New York; if it's more of the same I'll pass but King of Tokyo earned its keep, so who knows.

Mine just arrived now! This is a pretty impressive reprint. Good art, good components, box is packed like a brick. I skimmed the rules and they look well organized. There's as much historical notes included in the back as there are rules. If you're interested in Kremlin, you should probably pick it up, it's $21 on csi, and this is a really high quality edition.

It may not hit KS til later this year, but Lost Battalion is coming out with a 4X game set in the Traveler Universe that uses a pre programmed OPS/card thing to plan then execute your moves. Played a short game at CSW Expo last week. It passes the sniff test from what I saw.

Thunder Alley is shipping in the next week or two. Only new game that had any of my interest until Q4 when the Fields of Fire sequel may or may not come out.

Actually, that Doom and Gloom: Survival one interests me a lot.



But only because it so closely resembles a game I created...which I cannot show any longer because the BGG photos I uploaded are deleted...when I nuked my account.

Incursion.

Several expansions for games I like.

Always possible I'll play something new and want to buy it, but I don't have any interest in anything right now. I have plenty of favorites sitting on my shelf. No need to take time away from them for new stuff.

Does anyone know anything about the micro expansion for Spartacus that's coming out at Gen Con? I'm hoping it's not just a few market cards.

Talisman: Woodlands expansion - because Talisman. Looks like it is going to add some cool stuff.

It's shaping up to be an expansion year for me too:
exp 1) Wiz-War
exp 2) Spartacus
exp 3) Blood Bowl Team Manager
exp 4) Zombicide Season 3? I don't know about this one, but the thread title is "interest" - so I'm typing it.
exp 5) Wave 4 of X-Wing. I saw the ships in action last weekend; the Phantom & E-Wing are awesome!
exp 6) Dreadball's follow up - Dreadball Xteme. My Dreadball league is ALL IN, so we'll eventually get 12 new teams.

Of course there's Sea Fall. Can. Not. Wait.

And then I'm suppose to get a bunch of micro games from TMG. This Town Ain't Big Enough for the 2-4 of us seems the coolest.

Oh yeah, I'm also looking forward to Tiny Epic Kingdoms.
