[Deptheads] Games the Dealers should have on hand for Gateway 2012

[Eric Burgess]

One I missed: Battle Beyond Space. This already sold out at GenCon and
people are scrambling for it.

Libertalia and Seasons have sold out at GenCon as well, as I expected. Our
dealers should really get those in because we have two of each in the
library and they'll get played A LOT. Cities, of course, sold out
instantly. They will sell as many of those as they bring.

Almost forgot about Stronghold Games' Milestones and Crazy Creatures of Dr.
Gloom. Both will move well this year.
