Spiel Preview Thoughts

As everyone lucky enough to make the trip heads to Essen for the 2015 Spiel game fair, I quicly scanned through the incredibly extensive geeklist created by W. Eric Martin over at BoardGameGeek & despite the surface look, I still saw a ton of interesting things that I'll be waiting anxiously to see if they show up ion the various vlogs & podcasts I follow. Here's what I'd be looking to buy and looking to check out if I were actually lucky enough to be flying to Germany this month:

September Acquisitions

My attempts to slow down the number of new games coming in met with mixed success last month – while I still obtained more games for my shelves, I did also clear some space thanks to the flea market at TBGT. And luckily, the order I made on CoolStuffInc during September after winning a giftcard didn’t actually arrive until October 3rd which makes this list look a little better!

Eldritch Horror Case - the Lower Workings

I was finally able to come back to this project, and start work on the lower level. Unfortunately while working on this part of the case, I realized I was going to end up only able to fit the Mountains of Madness components into my plan, and not the upcoming Pyramids release. But having the case able to store the base game, 2 small box expansions and 1 large box expansion seems pretty good to me, so it is what it is.
