Once again I am back in Essen, at this year’s edition of the game fair. Much looks like it did last time, it is mostly the same publishers that exhibit every year, at least of the bigger ones, even if many of the games are new. I tried to control myself and not buy as much this year. I did say that last year as well, but I think I have managed to succeed a bit better at it this year.

In three days I have bought three bigger games, Mousquetaries de Roy, Genesis and 20th Century. Additionally I have found a couple of Danish children’s games for kids from around two and a half years (you need to start in time), in the Little Storm series. They seem to fit target audience fine. I also bought the card game Total Rumble, mostly because the guy who demoed it was nice, and that it has wrestling as a theme. Right, I also bought the Japanese game Bus Stop: The Board Game, which was fairly entertaining.
