Fact: I get told off for getting games purely because they have cats in them! If a game has a cat on the cover or in the game, I end up with it! A lot of the time these games are rubbish. I have been told I am not allowed any more cat games without doing research into the actual game. Fact: Raccoon Tycoon is a game with cats that is good!
I love Reiner Knizia and I love Blue Orange so when I saw a prototype of
this game back in February, I was super excited. I have been waiting
(im)patiently to see the finished result and was rather happy to grab a copy at
Essen Spiel!
There’s an influx of Warhammer licensed games on the market at the moment with mixed reviews. As an ex 40K player I thought it was about time to have a look so grabbed a copy of Doomseeker from Ninja Division.
This year I have failed to buy an Advent Calender and then realised we have
one sat in our front room. 25 cubes, ok it will be 24 days until Christmas Day.
But we can get a game on the big day too. What is the fun of an advent
calender? Well, of course it's spending forever trying to find the right
door number whilst trying desperately to contain our desire for chocolate that
is ok at best.
This was our sixth year at Essen, and I see so many regular faces be they designers, publishers, fellow content creators and friends alike year on year that this was a perfect opportunity for a fun project. I hope you enjoy it.
29 plays of 25 different games over 6 days can only mean one thing! Yup, it’s BGG Con time. Not only do I get to hang out with some of my favourite people that I only see once a year, but I get to sit and play games for days with no interruption from working in any capacity.
