I had the chance to grab a demo of Aline Frontiers from Gen Con 2014.   A game that I have wanted to look at for a long time.

 

 

I have to admit from articles I read about Alien Frontiers I expected it to have a much larger learning curve.  I found the game to be delightful.

John Lemke from Indienation.fm chats with Nicole Beach from Cheese Waesel about Con Quest at Gen Con 2014.

Cheese Weasel runs a free to play game at Gen Con that sends players on a quest.  This quest takes players on a journey into the exhibit  hall.  Attendees delve through the crowds, hunting pieces of information to get their map punched (game card).   Every day Cheese Weasel holds drawings for great prizes like a VIG pass for the next year at Gen Con.

 

Nicole is already planning great things for 2015.
