The game in Essen - Gosu - International Game Days 2010

The game in Essen - Assariel's Summary - Gosu (Pt.2)

Image: Asmodée

The second highlight of the game for me was Gosu, also known as "Goblin Supremacy." This is a card game for 2 to 4 players, with each one Goblins army building to the round end to win the big fight. How often in card games, the basic rules have a very simple and not very promising and the respective card texts make the actual game.


Among the rules: There are three levels of goblins that can be played in a certain range. Maximum number allowed per five goblins are played so that the bottom row 5, Level 1 Goblins may be played, and in turn Lvl3 LVL2 about it. Also, there are 5 different clans and thus colors the Goblins. The playing of the first goblin's free. Now if you want to play another clan, you must discard 2 cards from his hand. Once ausliegt a clan, playing off the cost of another card already played the clan nothing. Will you play a level 2 goblin, so you need a level 1 goblin of the same clan. For Lvl3 is the need for a LVL1 and LVL2 Goblins of the same clan. These are the fundamental ways Goblins play off.

A special highlight of the game is not available as standard tightening of cards at certain times. This gives only new cards on the skills already played cards. The only option is integrated in the game in the consumption of the two activated platelets that have been available per round. Allow up to 3 cards follow suit. However, it is needed also to any special actions to activate cards.

Furthermore, there are a few other rules, such as the mutation of goblins in order to receive fresh fighters into the game, even if the series is actually full. One of the clans is to say that they differ significantly and thus have many nice tactical opportunities. White brings new maps, black makes cards for the round of useless and destroys red-free cards (the goblins are not right or have other cards free).

If both players can not perform more operations and thus have fitted it comes to the Great battle by the fighting strength of the instructions booklet Goblins added and compared among the players. The winner will receive a victory point and it takes three to win the game.

With this brief and not complete control explanation can explain the depth of the game basically. The scarcity of resources, be it cards or follow platelet activation usually leads to having to make really tough decisions. It happens very often that you almost every card in his hand would like to play, as it seems good, but because of the 15 Goblins in the display and the play cost this is no good. Once you know the cards, there are almost more reasons to the delivery of to respect your opponent, which have added an additional layer of complexity. Accordingly, you need at the beginning of a card game, a quite long playing time of over an hour for 2 players. This can later be reduced to a good 45 minutes, which, in my opinion for a card game is still pretty long, but only based on the possibilities and less because the game is drawn due to mechanisms in the length.

my view a highly recommended game, at least for a try! If only because the artwork is well done.

The game in Essen - international playing days - Friday and Saturday (Day 2) (Pt.2)

After we exhausted some of the rather long Earth Reborn were playing, we went first, a bit like the halls. I decided the fantastic Phantom League we had played on Thursday to buy and where I ever while shopping was still the same also landed Small World + all extensions in my backpack.

Assariel landed a place at 7 Wonders table and I watched a little bit, because I decided I wanted to just sit in times of testing with my friend the "great" game " Dobble " because it is on the table was where we sat down.

As might be expected even visually, the game is very simple and tailored more to young children. A few were able to pass the time we won so we tried it in the first 2 of the 5 variations. The variants differed not really great, it's really always about 2 identical symbols on the cards in his hand and the cards can be found on the stack. Sometimes you have to look at your cards then, sometimes on those of the enemy, sometimes you have all the cards in your hand and only one other in the middle, time around. Winner is the one of the least or most cards after the whole deck was drawn.
working there seemed to be a player very quickly points has appeared on consecutive cards if the same icon again. Well, an entertaining game for the youngest players.

sat then we directly on to the next table, here you could Dixit, the game play of the year. Assariel was also there the 7 Wonders round was over now, also she combines these two Englishmen.

The rules of Dixit are well known to most and the game is really as simple as it sounds. It's very interesting what instructions are given and it was all great fun. The price is somewhat daunting, even if the cards very nicely.

Dixit2 is there a solution, here it is only the deck and a new cover without the rules and the little bunny as a scorer. However, here the 18 € seemed outsized for a deck of cards too much, so ended up Dixit initially not in our game.

The game in Essen - Assariel's Summary - 7 Wonders (Pt.1)
In this blog post I wish to convey a few impressions of the games that I could test the game. Earth Reborn and Phantom League I was alluding too, but since they were treated by Salvation in detail, I do not go into it. However, I must say Phantom League that I really liked and it is my highlight of the game well.

© Repos Production

Let's start with the supposed hype game at the fair: 7 Wonders
In this game, with up to 7 players, each a wonder at what stage or substantially the surrounding city can be developed. The special feature of this game is the draft system as it is known from trading card games like Magic. So the game is divided into three periods by the beginning of the round, each player receives 7 cards, one selects and passes the remaining cards to the neighbors. Then, any person may Players play the selected card, expanding use of the miracle or throw for three coins. This is repeated until each card has only 2, one of which is selected and the last one is dropped.


There are different types of cards with different colors, such as brown cards bring the resources. Blue cards give victory points, green cards are cards that provide research, ultimately, only victory points and red cards are designed for war, and even more. The cards can have different resource costs, however the respective resources can only be cultivated locally, so you can auspielen the cards then, they are therefore but has not made them for each new card. Another highlight is the opportunity for the respective two immediate neighbors a resource for 2 coins to buy, if they do not even have.

can occur between each period of the war, where one pays attention only to the amount of red battle symbols in the delivery of the respective players seated next to each other. a player has more than his neighbor, he wins and gets 1, 3 or 5 (depending on the era) victory points while the loser still has to absorb a minus point.

Such are the basic mechanics of the game. It really like, but it could not completely convince me. I can imagine that there is much more interesting once you know the cards and you even more on the two neighbors respect, to develop a strategy in which we not only on self-respecting, but said neighbors tried to spoil their strategy. Otherwise, the game looked very fast and not go far at first glance what is said but how can still change significantly. I definitely want to try out a few times, since the potential exists for a very good game. So much

first to do so. In further posts I will still Gosu, Totemo, Magestorm, Battles of Westeros and Dixit received.

are photos this time unfortunately, my camera is at the fair that is, unfortunately, been lost.

shit happens, then in the text. went

Friday it first to the Earth Reborn as ever to get there to book a demo lap. After a short tour around the hall and a test game, "Mow" then was the table for Earth Reborn free and we played a game with 4 people. The intent was not to understand that simple, the French are speaking English to often do not understand that simple. In the end, but then was pretty much clear what is necessary for the scenario was played.

Optical the game is looking like some, the game plan that is merged from different pieces looks very pretty and is due to the many different parts are highly variable. The miniatures are really very detailed, much more so than as Descent or "Tannhauser" and even more comparable with high-quality models from the tabletop area.

If the models are actually so in the box when it hits the stores would be alone for a fair price! More than 10 highly detailed miniatures were seen, which is a fairly large Mech Really very impressive. Even the artwork and the remaining components of the game to see consistently high quality and suitable the topic of the game.
Since my camera as mentioned above is unfortunately lost, I can recommend for more pictures only BGG Gallery: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/images/thing/73171/earth-reborn

And how it plays then?
The system is quite sophisticated and has fresh ideas. Each player is given depending on the scenario a certain number of "common points" which he can spend on various actions. In addition, it takes little action tile from a bag to a pretend about what actions one is available. Each tile has 4 different actions, each with a number beside it, which sets how well or how often the action with the platelet can perform. Says as a foot with a 3 next to the one in 3 times to move his motion value, a gun is a one shot with a 2 with 1 extra damage, a pistol with a 3 may be a 2 extra damage. However, it costs more points, of course, the actions to do well. A shot with a 3 does nothing more than a first with a 1, is intended that the bonus damage you have to put 2 more action points to the plate.

is dynamic through the whole reaction capabilities of the enemy: If, for the first time an opponent runs into view, (marked on the base, with each miniature else) can try this one the innitiative snatch. These common points are hidden warranted and if the passive player has more points, he may use an action plate, but at most 2 actions. is important here is not that marked in color on the tiles is to use what actions we as a reaction and what's only in his lap.

If each player has passed over, and is a round, each player receives new "common points" and new action plates. Each miniature has

are a Chracterkarte on all its values represented by symbols. If a miniature damage they must turn over their card, then sink and set the values so that an injured chracter.

Where did the game a really great idea and ran after the first actions also all quite fluently. Then, however, there were the first battles here and there was a chess point of the game. For my taste are the defensive stats of the characters is too high or just the attack value too low, however: are per fight itself (for bonus points spent more connected) with high boost is not much more than 1-2 hits in it.

would not be so bad if have not already relatively weak characters per map page 4 or more life. The fight is very dangerous, it's hardly what if you attack first, or just a lap later hits. Attacks from behind do not really pay off in the next round opponent turns around and past the advantage the already not so great was that the runaway detour was worth it.

can I would like to see the complete rules again, maybe there are other more dangerous weapons in doubt, be adapted so that part pretty easy rule to the house by persönlcihen taste.

Definitely a game I would like to see again when it comes to stores next month.

The next part of the report coming later today;)

The game in Essen - international match days - Thursday (Day 1)

The game in Essen - international match days - Thursday (Day 1)

a long time we had on the game happy and we were of course on the first day directly to the opening time in Essen. As you can see in the photo, we were not the only ones who were on time, half an hour was opened before there were long lines were also growing longer.

Overall, we were waiting but not too long until we could solve our season tickets and already we went off to the gaming paradise!


first led us the way to Treefrog was the new title of Martin Wallace in the limited edition to get hold of. "London" should there be same as in usual Treefrog in limited edition with great game material for the same price as the normal version. I suggested directly to and am very happy with the purchase! I had already read a lot about it and promises for an explanation on the stand with light controller very much gameplay depth to offer. A review is to follow! Next, it

went in quite quickly step right across the hall and each of the bargain stalls, "was schonmal explored. And I bought the same offensive game again, "Colosseum" from Days of Wonder for grade times 15 € and "Coal" by Pegasus (18 €) in his pockets.

some bargains later we went to make out a few test matches, first we watched "King of Tokyo" of which was designed by Richard Garfield, known for Magic the Gathering, and will appear early next year.
There is a very simple, fun dice game in which there is a question that destroy monsters Tokyo. Each player takes on a monster and can attack others, collect bonus points, collect energy and to heal. Energy can then spend it and buy unique attacks and abilities to improve their own permanent monster. The 3 of them are on display, a bought a new from the large deck is revealed. There are many fun skills and the controls are very fast in the head. If it's not too expensive an excellent game for in between!

Next came "Phantom League" turn a game on which I was very pleased and it was felt to be very disappointed. The background of the game is excellent, it is based on the PC classic "Elite" in which you fly a space ship as a merchant or pirate through space missions is met and fought and got to watch and wealth.

exactly what is then also the board game! There are different ships, all with her and disadvantages to different masters and extensions to it all off which can grow to ship.
acts Visually the game very well, the cards and game boards are beautiful made and the graphics also like to know.
But how does the whole thing?

surprisingly easy and fluid, despite many options! Whether one is on a planet and buys goods to sell them to another planet or back to ertauschen or whether one who discovered at the edge of the universe discovered new planets to get to the glory, everything goes quickly out of hand and is easy to understand .
is worth noting the playing field, clear hexes you know of other games which have a variable pitch but here there are half a witch to be put together again, and so the possibilities increase greatly in terms of the look of the pitch. Thus there are each time other trade routes and other options are the goods (energy, food, drugs, slaves, ore) to swap or sell. The trade in such drugs can be very profitable, but every time you dock at a planet you risk the security forces collect the charge.

The fight is not controlled by dice, but on different decks of cards. Such a ship, the captain and possibly also have the right equipment to take offensive deffensive or support cards, this is one that we may freely choose and 2 from the "fate deck. This is a new deck is formed and mixed and you decide to use 2-5 cards face down like this. not seized Tickets can be shed after the first round of combat to flee (depending on the ship will need different amounts) or 2 in a Combat round use. This ensures that the fight exciting and has a random factor, but you can influence him well for his election and his ship. Overall, the combat system is very innovative and a few scrimmages it quite fast by the hand.

My fears were absolutely not satisfied, the game what can it promises. The only obstacle there is the price to be called impressive 45 € for the game. I think it will still end up in my games cupboard and certainly more often on the table! Incidentally, it is suitable for 2-6 players and it next year will be an expansion if you buy the basic game of the year you get a coupon for 50% discount on the extension.

go from here? Morning are still 7 Wonder, Takenoko, Battels of Westeros, Black Friday, The Godfather, Target Earth, 51st State, After Pablo and a lot of other games on the list. Well I'll be there Saturday also!

Zombies relatively easily because they move naturally very stiff. Too bad that, in comparison to this, the living figures also very stiff. As for the animation, were the shots of the undead rise from the ground to elaborate. At least move up to eight characters.

now is the rough animation and the rough cut of the first part.

Most likes me very well. Now I have to polish a few times about it before I start the SFX or rendering.
