It was so lovely getting to spend a little time with you! It really was such a nice moment for us both. Btw, we were able to meet with the "Expressions" designer after all and he even let us take home a copy =). Thanks again!
I am pretty sure the game you are talking about here 13:05 is Hewns. They have been working on this game for a long time. My wife sat in on a demo for this game back at our first Gencon in 2018. She stopped by there on Sunday and they remembered her. It looks really cool. I hope it does come out at some point.
@@michaelmitchell2123 so sorry I lost you name in the recesses of my brain! I hope you reach out about it! I've watched that little video a dozen times
The beard is gone. You've been hiding your handsome face sir! lol. Happy you had a good time at Gen Con. One day we'll make it down there. Thought this year would be the year but didn't workout. Maybe next year but either way we look forward to other Cons and getting more games in with you. Need a new Deck Builder Game to stink my teeth into!
Thank you for this very interesting recap! You put many new titles in my watch list. The main reason I play board game is to interact with people and move away from the computer screen. But, deep down, maybe the real reason, is to have fun and a good time. Which is why I think we have many interest in common. I had on my watchlist: Clank legacy 2, Colab, Stardriven Gateway ( I love Rock Manor games), Star Tycoon. And you made me add: Conquest Princess, Seti, Frozen Frontier, Defenders of the Realm (I played the older version), Above and Below: Haunted, Murray the Ashole Frog. Can't wait to watch your more detailed review/preview video. I was invited to go this year, but I might actually go next year. I have about a dozen friends going every year, would be nice to do it at least one and see if I'm ready to do it again!
Thank you Mr Hungry for your enthusiasm in presenting the board game content you share with us. Your passion for the hobby really comes though as sincere and I do enjoy watching to your work. Game on, thanks again. p.s. I am still unsure if I am hyped about the new iteration of Defenders of the Realm?
I want to get the CoLab expansion. One of the biggest reasons I haven't played it yet is due to comments I read about the game length. I really want to get into it though as it was my most anticipated game last year!
@@HungryGamerReviews A Mr B 1-4 game that explores a fantasy sandbox world inspired by Magic Realm, seeking fame and fortune. 1-6 with the desolation expansion. Check out BGG Dragons Down - The massive Gen Con 2024 thread.
See maybe that's it; I have the original Ashes: Rise Of The Phoenixborn, and when it got canceled I snatched up ALL of the expansion. Then they did Ashes Reborn, and I got the update. I like the mechanics a lot, but I really just never enjoyed it against people. I think I would enjoy it a LOT more if it was co-op against a boss. I was thinking about selling my collection, but maybe I should try this?
I have like 12 games still coming that I backed at some point. I was wondering if any of them would be in this video. NOPE. :P Sort of should have expected that because it's titled hype-worthy. But yeah there are just a LOT of good games coming. It's kinda crazy. Defenders of the Realm was already on my to-watch list. Invincible sounds interesting. Didn't know about Land vs Sea. And Conquest Princess sounds cool too... Rivers of Gold is using the Rokugan world. I recognized it instantly. That's from Legend of the Five Rings. I always loved that theme but the card game never really panned out. I'm now starting my first play of Fateforge... I just went through the rules. It's like a campaign dungeon crawler, with app. That doesn't sound too appealing perhaps, given that there are so many, but.. I got a really good feeling about this one. I managed to snag the Deluxe edition that was still selling at their online store.
Living in Belgium is most of the time so expensive to back games. Conquest princess 100$ +29$ shipping+ 21%VAT+ some import costs= 160$ for the base game alone 😢 And I like coöp games, but they hardly make them in Europe.
@@HungryGamerReviews also a bunch of local people found it at Gen con so we are having a local learn to play with 11 people saying they are coming on Tuesday

I hope y'all like it. If you do perhaps you can come back on boards and brews and we can review it.

It seems like they are close based on what I saw
I just saw a Short that makes me think it was Skyrise from Roxley Games: czcams.com/users/shortsP7QfyJSNEKg
@@lexgcwe are Hewns!
my name is Mike Mitchell, and we’ve been working on Hewns for a number of years! Was so awesome to meet you at Gencon 2024!

Was great meeting you in person! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Star Tycoon.
It's high on the list to get to the table. I stopped back by the last day to get another quick demo on it. I love the components tray in the box!
Colab was right at 2 hours. We had a great time. It was awesome to play with you.
Let's do it again!!!

Well thank you so very much!
Defenders is EXACTLY my type of game so when it hits backer kit I'm gonna have to look long and hard at the details!
Hell yeah for some love for Argent: The Consortium! Also huge fan of Millennium Blades! Lv99 Games are awesome.
Yup! I can't wait to get the mancers expansion
Ashes Reborn with the Red Rains expansions are one of my personal favorites. It's so good!
So much content to get for it!!!
Thanks for sharing about your experiences! Glad you had a great time. I haven't been to GenCon yet, but hope to go next summer 👍
@@BillyIndiana it's an intense experience
i love your upbeat and fun manner in your videos! fun to watch.
Thank you so much!!
Murray the Asshole Frog was a blast. Couldn’t ask for a better group for it as well. ~Tim

@@AcevedoDMA hope you bust it out soon!
Totally miss Catharsis in the past, looking forward it in their 2nd edition
@@Scheduledd excellent! I think you can still snag divine wrath
Great Roundup. Ashes Reborn PvP and PvE Red Rains is a great game. Did you not see Dragons Down?
I did not see that one! What is it?
