Yesterday, Naturelich and friends visited Spiel 2004 in Essen, (one of) the largest games fairs in the world. It was astonishing and a wonderful day. We had the chance to look at a lot of new releases (sometimes with their German title only):

  • Die Tore von Alhambra (2nd Alhambra expansion)
  • Die Gärten von Alhambra

  • Zug um Zug (Game of the Year 2004 in Germany 2004 from Days of Wonder, the English title is Ticket to Ride)

  • Mystery Train (expansion set for Zug um Zug)

  • Karibik

  • a new Carcasonne expansion set (3 Euro for charity)

  • Candamir - Die ersten Siedler (a new expanision to Die Siedler von Catan )
    • and many more. We had the chance to play Bohnapart (a new expanision to Bohnanza), Weinhändler and Pompeji (all from Amigo). They are excellent games, I was especially fond of Pompeji. We bought a lot of new games and even tried two and they are very good. It was a great event. I will definitely attend the fair next year again.
