As with yesterday's post there are more Board Games coming out at GenCon than you can imagine! I'll likely need to do a follow up post on the games that I personally find tempting.
Games after the jump!
Game Salute
Serpent Stones - http://gamesalute.com/games/game.php?game=10
Serpent Stones is an interpretation of an ancient game believed to have been played by the Aztecs over 600 years ago. As head priest of an Aztec warrior house, you must command a specialized team of Aztec warriors in ritual combat on the battlefield to satisfy the gods. Drawing on the power of teotl from your temple stone, your warriors can wield specialized nahualli animal attacks to strike or capture opposing warriors standing in your team's way of capturing your opponent's temple stone. The gods may show you favor by giving you an advantage during battle, but will it be you or your opponent that quenches their insatiable blood thirst today?
Iello
Biblios - http://www.iellogames.com/Biblios.html
As an abbot of a medieval monastery, you compete with other abbots to amass the greatest library of sacred books. To do so, you need to have both the workers and resources to run a well-functioning scriptorium. To acquire workers and resources, you use a limited supply of donated gold. In addition, you must be on good terms with the powerful bishop, who can help you in your quest.
The Phantom Society - http://www.iellogames.com/The_Phantom_Society.html
WELCOME TO SCOTLAND!
Yes, welcome to this country famous for its whisky, the Highlands, its castles, and, of course... its ghosts!
The Phantom Society is a ghost-hunting game in which you play as sly spirits seeking to ruin a manor hotel or, if you prefer, intrepid ectoplasm hunters (a bit destructive round the edges) who never flater in the pursuit of their prey. While the ghosts have to be cunning and use psychology in order to remain concealed, the hunters use observation and deduction to flush out their sneaky targets.

Asgard's Chosen - http://mayfairgames.com/game.php?id=409
It is the end of the Bronze Age! A new era begins. Only recently have you discovered how to extract iron from the ore in the peat bogs, and it is best to use your new discovery before others use it against you. As a Teutonic lord your duty is to ensure your family line is preserved and that your land prospers and grows. Of course, every other lord seems to be thinking the same thing. The gods’ grant favors both to control creatures and to aid your goals. Make the proper sacrifices to the Æsir to appease their whims and Valhalla could be your reward!
