Check Out The Wildlife in Carcassonne: Safari
Carcassonne is one of my favourite board games of all time and it’s nice to see how many different varieties there are for you to get stuck into.
One of the newest ones from Hans Im Gluck is Carcassonne: Safari where you will be doing the typical tile-laying that you’d expect from the game but with a twist as you try and spot as many animals as possible and enjoy an adventure in the bush!
Become One Of The Merry Men in Final Frontier's Robin Hood
Robin Hood & The Merry Men is a game that we’ve looked at before when it hit Kickstarter and now Final Frontier Games has been showing it off at Essen SPIEL ’18.
The game features wonderful artwork and has you doing what you’d imagine Robin Hood would be doing, venturing out into the wilderness to rob from the rich and give to the poor.
It also comes with some stunning meeples!
LARPing Around
Plenty of LARP stores are at Spiel ’18 showing their wares and we could not resist playing with their weapons.
Burning Games Talk Core Ball In Zero Gravity + Win A FAITH Core Book
It’s time for us to meet with the Burning Games team and learn all about Core Ball which is a fantastic zero gravity sports game with a twist.
Win A FAITH RPG Core Book
Core Ball is a fascinating game where each of the teams has their own awesome feel, unique from the others. It is then heightened by offering up a board that continually shifts and changes as you play, offering up the unique sensation of drifting through Zero-G.
This means that as well as going for the awesome plays you are going to have to make sure you don’t end up drifting into an asteroid or two!
Guys any chance of checking out the new Off World Kickstarter whilst you are there and letting us know what you think. Cheers
A lot of these ‘euro style’ games look so boring on the table. Area control and meeples are just not my thing.
Hope we see some Nakamura Tower tomorrow
Hmm no “Battletech” here yet?
BSG was the winner of day 3 for me!
