Meeple People

Finally a second show from Essen. In this one, I talk about Martyn F's TWRS (designer and game shown to the side here), Dirk Henn's Colonia and Inka & Markus Brand's Wurfel Ligretto (which I'll note since in the podcast I neglect to say the designers for this title).

This is pretty much how I think I'll do my Essen shows - a brief vignette or two and then three quick reviews of games (roughly, one I like, one I didn't particularly and then a filler or lighter game).

And if you watched the live streaming from the Boardgamegeek.com booth at Essen, you saw a lot of me! I am there for the Czech Games Edition demos, Colonia, part of the Jay Tummelson interview and at various other times. The BGG.COM booth was the place to be and I'm thrilled I got to attend the show for their debut. I hope they make it back again next year.

Thanks for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon.
