more impressions of new games to the game 2008

new game, new happiness. After the first impressions of the first two days it went on Saturday and Sunday on through the halls. I feel after it was on Saturday "fair level-technical" even more unbearable to some extent. If we had done it, so shortly before noon to grab a table somewhere for an interesting game publisher and then the bad hours (up to 15.oo Clock) to spend playing was over the worst. I had the feeling that this year again was emptier than the years before. Maybe I'm just become a little thinner and get better through the cracks in the crowds, but I can not imagine actually. At least, not loaded down with bags and bags full of games.

Even if it so this year was not so apparent is necessary, Saturday because of the crowds at the tables my Haupteinkaufstag. I unfold from my pre-orders and buy any things that I previously the two days already could take a look. This has been proven in recent years and most are also all the games that I want to have, in stock ... who needs "Duck Dealer"?

On Sunday I will then finish off the show relish. This year the time change also sweetened with another hour of sleep at night, I stroll quietly through the halls, try out the one or more other game ... ok, not really. Sunday's again really stressful when I see how few have the "must try" games I have not done. Brief panic attacks, from a hall into another dive and occasionally stop by from time to time in Fair Play Scout, I might have anyway something missing. I LOVE the show ;-)

This is why I still give you a few more brief comment:

• For Winning Moves we played a game of " Hab & Gut " by Carlo A. Rossi and were absolutely not amused. No one was really convinced, and the majority of the (added 5) players even said that DAS now not really needed.
  The mechanism by selecting the cards from the left and right movement is probably quite nice, with not a complete game. Otherwise remain only one variant remains of the old stock exchange game. And that's just too little.
• In contrast, I added "... but please with Cream" by Jeffrey D. Allers, also published by Winning Moves, really liked. A nice night cap, so to speak as dessert for the evening games with a new theme. The "you're sharing - I look out" mechanism is also played with us at the kitchen table again and again and is therefore deeply rooted in my soul players. That "... please with cream " but works with exactly 11 pieces per cake, is really nasty. For any number of players that is a uniform distribution is possible because prime. A pretty predicament with quick and short decisions. have
• At Amigo we are a lot of 'Lord of the goats "played. Here, Günter Burkhardt his basic idea of " copper boiler & Co." in 2001 (published by Gold Sieber) again used the game beefed up to five players and get a new graphics donated. To me that the game becomes confusing, however. All the different goats look very nice and are (at least in the first game) funny, but always keep track of who has just now where the majority of goats in the detection and which must be immediately checked, have some demands on my now flabby brain. Still a nice game for Between.
  
• Unfortunately I have not been able to " Byzantium" by Emanuele Ornella (also Amigo) to find a table somewhere. I would like to try out yet, but I think it will in the next few weeks just another blind purchase. So far I have really liked all of it very good (the best so far " Oltremare - Merchants of Venice " published by Mind the Move).
• On Sunday evening we have appeared at home games during the final evening, too, "Snow Tails " by Gordon and Fraser Lamont at Fragor Games put on the table. Although we have only played the first proposed beginners, but the tax the carriage of two dogs and a braking circuit card has very fascinating. I also found it especially funny that I with my superior Formula Dé-knowledge ("inside track because GUUUUHHHT shortest path through the turns!") Have driven completely into the snow drifts. In "Snow Tails " it seems like, my first impression after a lost game, perhaps a little longer, but using right winger in the curves. First, you then have more of a balanced sled and can use bonus movements and second, you have fewer problems, his team again to pull out of the drift. An interesting experience. This game will, according to the semi-disappointing " Antler Iceland " from last year (cute characters but rather weak game) certainly create many off the shelf out.
• The highlight of the second half show to me was quite clearly " Dominion" by Donald X. Vaccarino, published by Hans im Glück. The game was praised before the show, especially from the states for good. Irritated some readers even spoke of "hype". (Hey, a new entry for my players terminology! ... Make a quick little note.)
  I am of the opinion that all the positive pre-coverage was initially justified once. The game is really outstanding. Not only because of the nearly 500 cards in the Box, but mainly because of the new mechanisms. to integrate the idea of the most boring and not at all, unfortunately, interactive part of the trading card games, namely the deck structure, in the game play and thus the aspect of player to complement compete with the best deal the cards, you have to come first! Even with the seemingly little interactive basic set of Kingdom cards (which are proposed by the rule of the game for the first game) to come to a tingling tension that makes you want more. Now I'm hooked
  , but handicapped by the fact that my wife and first-choice partner on a business trip, even the BSW me rediscovered. Can I still play there a couple of quick games Dominion between. But: The online version comes with the original and limited. Interestingly, I feel very things, which decreases the computer to a line, as that is the tightening, the regular mix of private decks and adding up their own operations and cash cards very supportive atmosphere. When I record my discard pile and begin to mix, then I know I am all of the beautiful new cards, which I have just bought in the previous round, now can draw directly. The tension increases the in any case. With the online version, it seems to me almost a little random. The computer mixes my cards without great to inform me. Here what I am missing somehow. Maybe even just a short reflection between the passages of my deck, what has changed now that await me cards now.
  So at least for now I'm playing " Dominion " rather at the table, even if it takes a little longer.
  

romp addition to these first impressions are still a few more games on my table in my pockets, which I have not come to the games I've bought so (again) untested. Olav evil!

• " Sylla " by Dominique Erhard appeared at Ystari: The game I had in the Deluxe Edition (With the lovely silver metal coins) and pre-order now wait eagerly for the first game. The rules read very well and I expect much of it.
  
• " After the Flood" by Martin Wallace, published by Treefrog: Already "Tinners' Trail" helped me a lot of fun, so I could play at the new Treefrog Line of Martin's passing by, of course. A game that is playable exclusively on third, this still relatively rare.
  
• "Le Havre " by Uwe Rosenberg, published by Lookout: that someone has not bought? I think not. The queues outside the Lookout booth while I'm escape (you hear of waiting times around 45 minutes!) and immediately got my desired goodies and games, but I played it, unfortunately, not yet. I have not even been unpacked! Is high time that weekend.
  
• " Ghost Stories" by Antoine Bauza, published by Repos: Here I was, I admit, overran the graphics and the cooperative character. Generally were cooperative games this year anyway finally the big hit. I just love this kind of voltage to the game. (This also determines what I write.)
  
• " Krakow 1325 AD" by Peter Struijf, published by Geode: After Peter us the match on Saturday briefly between the door and Angel has said very enthusiastically and personally (unfortunately there was no place to play), I've taken it promptly. Now I know that the author once worked as a manager in Indonesia and his colleagues at that time the game were also good and Peter and his prints have been fatally hit exactly the right time. No information that you need for a purchasing decision, but funny when on the otherwise hectic fair sometimes leaves room for such details.
  
• ... and a few more. Let's see them for what I am going to write something in the next few weeks.
  

lying there now around for now. Unfortunately, I have to say job this week again and do not have time to play, I would like. But approaching the weekend. As will appear a few more pictures.


Conclusion: The year 2008 is drawing to a close. Just two lousy cold months with this funny Christmas at the end. But the Games year with the closing of the fair gates over. It ended well - excellent even. Much better than I could hope yet to Nuremberg in the spring, from where I was really blown away to nothing. Essen 2008 was again a wonderful experience with many exciting new products and a few outstanding games.

There are certainly a lot of games that I have in the short Time nor play at all could only watch. Therefore, it is me not determined in the next few months to get bored. But in our fast-paced games of yesterday are unfortunately almost forgotten already. I almost suspect that most of what I still do not have the shelf, even more land there is. Example, if I eventually have a " The Prince of Maccu Pichu " play or buy? Whether " Planet Steam " still lost to me? And what about "Duck dealer? I do not know yet, but I'm very excited.

However, I am not of the opinion that the fair is too large or the Publishers to throw much new to the market. I can live with it, from time to miss perhaps once a pearl, ensured so long is that I always play what. Real pearls find their way at some point to me. And let's be honest, I buy too much so. But does not my wife.

Difference Between Kemotherapy And Radiotherapy

First impressions, first disappointments, first surprises

Puh. This was another tiring. Four days of food, four days of games, four days of fun. Unless I'm mistaken my little clever little book, I've played in the past four days, 30 different games. That is read 30 rules or learned and collected 30 first impressions. I had a blast.

But since I did not so selfish am, as some people say now and then again, I would like you to share my impressions of course a bit. I explicitly point out that most of the following thoughts for a maximum of one lot of the game were created. I was unfortunately not enough time to play all four to five times. I'm terribly sorry ;-) But anyway:

• We have started on Thursday at the stand by Ravensburger and our first, a "Club Diamonds" by Rüdiger Dorn caught. At first glance, a slightly scaled-and family-friendly version of " Goa " (market in the middle, only three development boards, ...) the game has to offer but a few surprises. Like so much to me, for example, the supply mechanism for the market better than some auction variant in other games. The design of the individual gardens / parks with their plot is somewhat simple fall, but the game has made all of us a lot of fun. A good opener.
• In contrast, we have "The Name of the Rose " by Stefan Field (also published by Ravensburger) do not like. "A pimped" Heimlich & Co '"was the almost unanimous opinion. You try to keep the monk's possible suspicion and the other players as long as possible to leave one in doubt who you sponsored. Everything was already there. Even the bonus points at the end of the game if you can guess who was, then, that player's color, was taken over by Wolfgang Kramer game from 1986. Too bad.
  
• We went to Queen Games. After I had gotten last year, no " Wabash Cannonball " (OK, let's be honest, the eye plays with it. I just wanted any!), I was excited to " Chicago Express " by Harry Wu, the big fall game on Queen. And I must say the wait was worth it. A functional, yet beautiful game plan than the original actually make eye causes cancer. The mechanisms and rules were not me, fortunately new, but the sample game I still really and fully completed last. I should have remembered that shares only in the end nothing more cash during the game but certainly have their uses. So I did not even once that happens, I have a copy for training taken home.
• The large pavilion in Hall 5 of the British Empire we " Confucius" (which appeared at Surprised Stare Games) by Alan Paull and allude to " Monastery " from the Ragnar Brothers. Although the latter is no longer brand new, but I felt it yet not possible to take a closer look. It was worth it. Those looking for an intricate tile laying game with nice depth and some fantastic ideas, which may not pass on " Monastery. "Confucius " may turn out completely ignore other reasons you. This game captures simple, from the first minute. The interesting idea to buy vegetables in the favor of his teammates (and the emperor) by gifts that have very skilful combination of these gifts with the vote in the various ministries at the court and the number of available actions myself nor the rest of the day the game to think . Let Just to be safe: This is a very good sign. I actually feel very happy after about games. Unfortunately we did in the exhibition hype just under a third of a game, but that will surely soon be corrected. to get
  
• In Fantasy Flight Games / Heidelberg in Hall 9, I've done it is neither a "Battlestar Galactica " by Corey Konieczka, still play the thing at all times! Only a few shy glances at the only (?) Available demo version was granted me. We have six of
  a lot of 'A Touch of Evil "by Jason Hill, published by Flying Frog Productions played. ... hm ... well, it was not so great. The fact that each round, the distance to move his character with a determined and W6 at Ner diced 1 also draw another Event card must be, should have let me be clear hearing. So we have just under 2 hours (it is just not on when others want to play the game to an end ...) through the pampas and finally defeated the Headless Horseman made another head shorter. Independently of the beautiful game materials, the game unfortunately nothing that makes me look for a lot more standing outside.
  
• In contrast to ' Space Alert "by Vlaada Chvatil, published by Czech Games Edition. The author of "Through The Ages "(published in 2006 by Czech Board Games) is hereby landed my opinion, renewed a really big game. Cooperative games are a hobby of mine. Each game of this genre should be in my eyes with the top dog" The Lord of the Rings "by Reiner Knizia appeared to attach the cosmos." Space Alert sees "in this comparison, first one pretty well. the one hand it reduces the only real problem that cooperative games of recent years had, namely the risk that a player dominant the game in hand and not doing anything dictated by the time pressure and stress is added as another element. On the other hand, it brings interesting and new mechanisms as the "programming" of a train a la " Robo Rally " field. The first impression is excellent at least once before. In my opinion one of the two exhibition highlights on my list.

So, those were the main impressions of the first two days. In short, it then proceeds with the first thoughts on the games of Saturday and Sunday.
