In years past, I have have focused on games that will making an appearance at Essen. One of the other things I have usually tracked, but haven’t spent much time writing about, are the games that aren’t going to make it… With the help of fellow OG-mate Jonathan Franklin, I’m trying to make an updated list of the games not making it to Essen in purchasable form.
The first set of entries was made 9/12. This update is dated 9/30. I will try to append dates to any further entries as I update the list. This certainly can be a community project – if there are other games that you know of that will not make Essen, post them in the comments and we’ll update the page as needed!
