Designed by Rob Daviau, who also co-designed Pandemic: Legacy and Risk: Legacy, SeaFall pits players as mainland empires looking to explore the seas, discovering new islands, exploiting their resources, and fighting other players’ ships, all on a gorgeous board with high-quality components. SeaFall will be one of the first legacy titles that’s not a spinoff of an existing game, and unlike Pandemic, SeaFall is competitive rather than cooperative.
Legacy games, where the board “remembers” events from the last play and the players play a campaign over a “season” of multiple plays, are one of the biggest trends on boardgaming after the runaway success of Pandemic: Legacy last year. It was my favorite among all the games I played at Gen Con, thanks to the simple rules, interactive element and strong replay value. There are three route types, scoring in different ways, and players can place tokens of varying strengths to build those routes, but also can sabotage their opponents by blocking routes or flipping two of the pieces on the spokes. The two-sided board has hub-and-spoke maps on which the players try to build routes by placing their tokens on the hub spaces. Agamemnon (Osprey Games)Īn elegant abstract two-player game of area control that plays in 10-15 minutes, Agamemnon should be out officially by the end of this month.
It’s a damn good time to be a boardgamer. Here are the top ten games that I played at the convention, and soon Paste will have a recap organized by publisher of everything else I saw that was worth noting, including recent and future releases. I spent two days at Gen Con, the annual mecca for tabletop boardgaming held in Indianapolis at the city’s convention center, in my first-ever trip to the event, meeting with more than 30 publishers and playing or demoing at least that many games while I was there.
