The last three pics are Dark, Darker, Darkest and City Of Remnants and Thrilling Tales Of Adventure.
Other stuff I played or saw played on Saturday. Ascending Empires, Kemet, New Era; Firefly; Attack Wing; Legendary DB; Agents of Smersh; Moongha Invaders; Sekigahara; Shogun (the Wally one); Crokinole and more I'm forgetting.

High Frontier was awesome as always. Bernie with the super efficient inner ring solar sails. Billy Z launched one ship all game and it was prospecting the hell out of the asteroid belt. KingPut fell for the Mars trap resulting in one crash landing and one eventual claim that was subsequently jumped on by the wily Chinese. That'll teach him for helping me get to Luna!
Kemet, which I hadn't played before, was my other favorite game of the Fest.

My guess was that was TToA, but then decided that this was just wishful thinking on my part as I thought that it had disappeared back into development hell.Mad Dog wrote:

It's really gamey in a way that wasn't particularly fun. The mechanics encouraged all the players to follow one another at all times. You defend better when clumped together. You search better when clumped together. And you prevent the bad guys from getting multiple activations when you are all clumped together. The only time it is bad to be clumped together is if you are in LOS of a camera - in which case you usually all just walk out of camera view...together.
Most of the decision making in the game involved inventory management. The main goal is getting a certain combination of icons to unlock the lab door. You get those by unlocking the normal locks in the game. You unlock those by having the matching icons on your equipment. So for whatever reason you might need the fire extinguisher, some ammo, and a med kit to open this random 3-icon door. You end up having discussions like "let me have your shotgun so I can unlock this door and then I'll spend my last action to give it back".
I might give it another chance, but I don't feel compelled to hold onto my copy.

I labeled the photos with what games are being played.

I got to play Sekigahara, play it very very poorly.
I also got to play Pax Pofiriana. Holy crap, what a good game. And I have to eat some humble pie. I was busting on Octavian and his high frontier game but after playing Pax I have a huge new respect for Eklund. If High Frontiers is this good I understand why he gets pumped when he gets a chance to play it.
