I've secured exclusive debuts of Gamewright's new Matt Leacock game,
Forbidden Island and the latest Days of Wonder game, Mystery Express. We'd
love to hype that with these revisions/additions. I'm going to be making
noise about it on the yahoo groups and BGG, too. Note with complete demo
list (so far) below (Janice - please pass on to the retailers).


Revised:

host two big tournaments of his smash hit games, Pandemic and Roll Through
The Ages. He will also be debuting his new cooperative game Forbidden Island
at the convention and bringing a prototye of the next Pandemic expansion so
you can Play with the Creator!
