Well, back safely from Essen, and with two grueling workdays behind me, time to catch my breath and review the trip. As usual, we had a great time in Europe, and it was a wonderful 8-day experience. I did manage to sneak in a visit to Bremen, a city which I had never seen before, and I managed to find a new favorite German sweet, the Bremer kluten. Which looks like a domino and is the best peppermint patty tasting thing I’ve ever had!

So, as you can see, I’ve got no time for writing now. Gotta punch and bag games, read rules, and get ready to play some games! I’ll try to write a more detailed recap piece for the weekend, but I’m too excited with all these new games in the house to write!
Until your next appointment,
The Gaming Doctor
Wonder how is this carried in 2 suitcases with limit of 50lbs each.
I carried about 40 games and that was my limit.
Thanks.
More details to come on the weekend when I have more time to write. But, the short answer is that I was lucky enough to have three bags this year. So the haul is 50% bigger than it should be. Normally, I would have shipped home 25-30kg in a box, but this year it all arrived at once due to the extra bag!
This year, German post had a booth where you could offload it all and get it sent home :-)
That’s a lot of rules to read…
Very impressive! But: No Feast for Odin??
