Nuremburg 2006 >>> Most Wanted Edition
|
|
|
While I have seen a few conatical lists out there. Rather than just create another canonical list, I would be interested to see what games everyone is most looking forward to from this Nuremburg. I did the same for Essen and it seemed to work quite well. The field is sparse this year, however, but I would still be interested in everyone's entries and comments.

Somehow a game about Donkeys and pooping just appeals to me.
I can see this one becoming a cult favorite, that many will play just for shits and giggles.

This one seems to be slightly reminiscent of Fische Fluppen Frikadellen, but instead of trading for fetishes (heh, I said Fetish), you're trading for shrunken heads...ads....and that's just strange enough to appeal to me on theme alone.

Bits, Bits, Bits, Bits, Bits, Bits, Bits, Bits.......
Actually, I think of Steffan Dorra's Medina when I read the description of this one.

Someone should seriously tell Reiner to STOP.....many of us are going broke....
While the mechanics seems to have absolutely NOTHING to do with the card game ( and that doesn't matter to me anyway), the gameplay does sound like a decent majorities game with nice character powers thrown in.
Tons of nice fantasy veneer makes this one a winner to me.

I rarely resist getting a new Schacht game, and this seems to be more unique than many of his newer deigns.

Have the largest harem! I have to admit, the man in me is attracted to this game's theme...and I'm sure people will tire of my machismo as we play.
This award winning title seems to have alot of potential and snazzy graphic design..

Yes, they call it a family game. But I have to say that if this is a light ALEA game, it has to be at leat worth a try....and the theme will be a winner for me. Pirates wandering bar to bar gettng into fights.....and that's a family game?? =D

This is a placeholder for the travel edition.
Travel Blokus has been a winnder since day one, and as much as I love the full size version of this one, I cannot envision this not being good. Built in scoreboard and tile holders, along with slots to hold the pieces in place.....even comes with a bag for random tile draw like ti's full size cousin...

I look forward to any new Alea release. I just hope that what appears to be a dry theme will not only disprove my misgivings, but back it up with some good gameplay.

I've liked almost every Kramer game I've played...so what's not to look forward to......though this one's theme seems a bit lacking as well.

...and Augsburg 1520
...and Bison
...and Thurn und Taxis
...and Mauerbauer/Masons
...OK, and TtR:Märklin

But you're right, this might be a hoot to pull out once in a while. I never thought I could see myself betting on the colour of donkey poop, but it just goes to show that the imagination of German game designers is limitless, accusations of pasted-on theme notwithstanding.
