Reports and Photos from Spiel – This Year’s Plan

Posted by James (admin) on 19th October 2011

This year, I’m going to cover Spiel in Essen a bit differently than previously.  Rather than try to explain a game (even just my most basic thoughts) in 140 characters via Twitter, which is tricky and can easily not do a game justice, I shall be posting photos of the games I play on Twitter as well.  I shall post the photos to this blog too – hopefully once per day.  Theoretically I could post photos to both Twitter and my blog from my iPhone but the data costs in Europe are very high so I’ll use Twitter as the live feed and post the day’s photos on the blog later.

So, if you want to see what I’m playing as well as read my comments on the latest new releases at Spiel, follow my twitter @Metagames

Reviews of New Releases – 25 Jan 2011

Below are links to reviews of games that will be released in shops this week (in the UK):

Merchants and Marauders

Reviewed: 30 Oct 2010

Crows

Liberté

Reviewed: 6 Aug 2010

Note that my Liberté review is of the original release and not the new Valley Games version; however, the only difference is that the new version has better board colouration (which was an issue with the original game).  The Valley Games’ board can be seen here.
