Check out my new cooperative board game - Atlantis Rising!

Awesome, thanks for posting these Aldie and Scott for reporting! What are the smaller square tiles in Escape for?

From the description on the Edo game page:

Quote:

Some rooms contain treasure, and when you reveal such a room, you place a face-down treasure chest on the tile. Roll the symbols on that chest tile, and you claim the treasure for use later: a key lets you teleport anywhere, a path lets you connect two rooms that otherwise have no door between them, and a medic kit heals all players instantly (putting black dice back into play).

Queen's Frank Thyben gave me a thorough game preview at BGG.CON, and that's what I learned at the time. Perhaps details have changed in the past three months, but if not, now you know...

I hate to be a broken record (okay, I don't hate it that much) but:

Was the Samarkand Expansion at Nurnburg?

I wasn't at the fair, but I don't think it was as I've received sell sheets from Queen for what's coming through the first half of 2012 and the Samarkand Expansion wasn't included.
