At Mr E's Game World booth at Historicon, 2026: Lots of old Avalon Hill games, some from Milton Bradley's Gamemaster Series (Fortress America, Samurai Swords, and the original Shogun box under the table), and their American Heritage series (Battle Cry, Dogfight, Skirmish, plus Broadside down below), and Ideal's official Combat! board game from the TV show. I remember the Bermuda Triangle game being advertised a lot, but King Oil was new to me, a game with a creative mechanic for oil exploration and drilling that uses 3 disks below the board that are turned before the game to create a 4-layer puzzle of holes with over 1000 possible combinations representing drilling sites.
