Well I’ve had a few emails asking me what else is being played.  I think many people here would agree that there isn’t that much new going on.  At least, not a lot new from Nurnberg.

Santa Cruz from Hans im Gluck is here, and it’s been played a lot.  Also, there is currently a 1st & Goal tournament going on right now (R&R games).  Other new(ish) games here:

• Indigo
• Waka Waka
• Targui
• Bohnanza wurfelspiel
• Tanzen Wanzen
• Vegas
• Keltis Wurfelspiel
• Zooloretto Wurfelspiel
• Africana
• Pix

There are also about 100 new prototypes here – some from game companies planning on a upcoming release (mostly Essen ’12) as well as many games which are being shopped around with all the game companies here.  Of course, the general rule here is: Don’t say anything about prototypes or show pictures unless you have permission.  So, I won’t be the first guy to write about the Gathering and not be able to talk a lot about the games that I’m playing this week!

But there’s definitely a bunch of old stuff being played right now too.  While my game of Aquileia is going on, I quickly walked around and snapped a few pictures of the tables closest to me.

Marty Hoff (surprisingly not at the Casino) playing Ora et Labora

3 or 4 guys named Simon playing Belfort. And Mario P who is apparently a big supporter of Borussia Dortmund

The most beautiful table at the Gathering. Oh, and they’re playing Hawaii

Kris Gould’s new prototype… Well, what I was allowed to show you of it.  (Remember that a lot of them have to stay secret!)

Mage Knight (I think they’ve been here since about breakfast)

The lunch game.

D-Day Dice

Not pictured: Lords of Waterdeep – which has received a lot of play this week, but isn’t in play right now.

Well, that’s what’s going on now. More later hopefully.

Until your next appointment
