I do own Infernal Contraption but I hadn't really followed the new Bodger Game. Maybe it will be at GenCon as well. You’re right; I had forgotten about Scrappers.

I'd expect GenCon demo's. It is too close to the release date not to. 2. Bloodbowl's awareness is on the rise in the gaming community at the moment with the recent release of their modern computer game version. This could cut into Grind's sales by sapping those players or else get them to open up their boardgame versions. On the other hand, the heightened awareness may raise all boats and people may give Grind a look now that Bloodbowl has whetted their appetites. 3. This is actually going to Privateer Press' second boardgame. They are releasing a Bodgers boardgame, Scrappers, in September. Perhaps tellingly, I didn't see much buzz at all when that announcement was made. --Norbert A couple of things:

They definitely could have made a better board game idea based off their IP, IMHO. Uhhh so Blood Bowl Privateer Press edition?

Grind was all right, and the lack of Cryxian looking warjacks turns me off, but I guess I will manage depending on what the rules look like. I don't think there's gonna be GenCon demos, though that would be an amazing idea if you ask me. Z I’m kinda in the same boat.
