I'm wondering which games QWG will bring us. Anybody?
Marc Blom
One of them might be Metropolys?

Seems like these might not make Essen :(

QWG will publish three brand new games :):

- 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 :p

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).

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.
