The Essen List

So, as many of you know, Spiel '17 took place at Essen, Germany last week. Spiel Essen is the biggest board game convention in the world, with almost 200,000 visitors over 4 day period trying out the latest games. Over 1000 game producers from all over the world are there announcing and demoing their upcoming titles. The Brew was there in full force -and by full force, I mean I was there alone looking for games. :-)

Spiel Essen is the biggest game convention in the world

Did i mention how big it is?

Most new releases are there and can be demo'd by the public

You can get the latest games long before they'r in stores

Or you can get older games at deep discounts

There is a fair-like atmosphere with lots of activities for the whole family

The big question, of course, is did we get any games. Yes, we did. We got a butt-load. A few are brand new. A few are older games that we felt we needed to have in the cafe (Risk, anyone?). Some are foreign games that we knew would never be available here in Prague. So here it is, the full list of games we'll be adding to our library (just as soon as we sticker and log them all):
