Hoping to gather all Essen 2008 releases. Please feel free to add! Updating whenever possible.
IMPORTANT: A lot of games will be released just before Spiel.
20-06 Start of the list. Already a lot of games are in the DB. 03-07 Holiday! A few weeks without me updating. 26-07 Slowly started updating again. 13-08 Finally updating... 24-10 Ending Updates. I did not do as well as last year, I'm afraid. Should've updated more frequently.
Only a teaser available at the moment and only in german:
" 10 years of Krimsus Krimskramskiste" " We'll bring something BIG to the Spiel '08"
As one of the playtesters I can say that this is absolutely correct. A very entertaining game for 2 to 4 players. More news will be disclosed in September.
But QWG has other titles lined up for Essen too
- Boss Kito(cardgame from Michael Schacht). Look on http://michaelschacht.net/bossk2.html for more information.
Example of the box:
Examples of the cards:
- Bloom from Laurent Escoffier and David Franck based on "La Bonne Soupe". The theme has changed from vegtables to flowers
Example of the box:
- Cavum from Wolfgang Kramer & Michal Kiesling
This is a strategic game about mining in the year 1900.
Example from a piece of the box
All three games are available in Essen in a limited international edition with rules in English, German and French (and of course Dutch).
