Fantasy Flight Games bring Scum And Villainy to the Star Wars X-Wing miniatures game.
In other Fantasy Flight news, they are bringing Battlelore to IOS, Android, and PCs.
AEG has something that I am really excited about. Empire Engine has an amazing look and a great back story.
There was a Settlers Of Catan tournament the weekend of Oct. 11th. Here is the champion.
This news is old, but apparently there will be a new edition of Carcassonne.

I have yet to purchase Eldritch Horror. It is on my list though and Fantasy Flight’s Mountains of Madness Expansion is making me want it even more.
I do, however, have Elder Sign and Fantasy Flight is releasing their second expansion for that. In Gates Of Arkham players will leave the museum and head out into the streets.
Paizo is doing up to 90% off on selected items for all of October in their Great Golem Sale
I wish I could make it to BoardGameGeekCon. If you are interested you can find the schedule here.
BGG also has the schedule for the live stream of Essen Spiel 2014 here.

Been meeting a lot of new people on Twitter lately. One of those is Topwise Games. Monkeys Need Love Too looks like a fun card game where you can have monkeys fling poo and help them escape a lab. They are at the halfway point of their Kickstarter and at about half their funding. Give ’em a look see and see what you think: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/topwisegames/monkeys-need-love-too
Someone taking things in a completely different direction is Godan with his Tokyo Yakuza at http://www.tokyoyakuza.com/. He’s seems to still be early in planning, but is very open about what he is working towards and has tons of art to give you a proper feel of what the game will be like when ready.
by Fireside Games is celebrating the 5th anniversary of Castle Panic. They are going to have a Google Hangout today starting at 1pm CST (USA). Looking forward to checking it out. But that’s not why I’m writing. Well, not exclusively. I did want to share that info. But also, there is some controversy. “Controversy?!!!” you may exclaim. “Yes!” I would exclaim back.
Board game publisher Queen Games have a Kickstarter for a game called Orcs Orcs Orcs. Go take a look and then come back: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1016374822/orcs-orcs-orcs
Look familiar to you? If not, go check out this link and come back: http://www.firesidegames.com/castlepanic
Yeah. So, that’s awkward. Looks like Fireside Games is aware of the situation and is looking into it. I understand that lots of games have lots of similarities, but did you know that often that is because one publisher licensed the mechanics from an existing game or just specific elements of another? That’s a thing! Who knew? Well, me, and now…you.
Anyway, I am interested to see what happens especially since Queen Games received $50k more than their goal.
