Give up robot armor games1/20/2024 Our traditional private mini con with rpgs, board games, a lot of talking and feasting. It starts with a rather slow build up, but there are some things that can escalate a little. There are still ways to score, so the player triggering the end of the game may well be not the one winning the game. As soon as a single player reaches a certain number of points (something around 20 iirc), the game end is triggered. Unlike many games, where you just total scores at the end, in Bier Pioniere there is short scoring track. Jokes aside, it's an interesting game, thus I backed it. It's a pretty important thing in this game. As unexpected as it sounds, in this game players have to brew beer and sell it. The core action mechanism is something called "worker placement". On this player board there are several spaces/areas than can be unlocked to improve the process of brewing and the factory itself. Each player runs a brewery, represented by a player board. Well, there have been way worse crowdfundings, right? *g* I was hoping that my backed copy will arrive before the fair, but looks like it'll arrive shortly after. So if this sounds like a theme for you, it shouldn't be a problem. This game about pioneers in modern industrialized beer brewing will be demoed in Essen and if I'm not mistaken, they'll have some English rules prepared, and maybe some aids or so. But since the (German language) crowdfunding was successful, it shouldn't be too bad. And I hereby appologize that I did not write this blog earlier. I got to play a late prototype of this game. It wasn't the last game, but I wanted to save it for last. But seriously, why wasn't there a clearer indicator, that there were two separate events? Luckily it wasn't as big of a crowd as SPIEL, so being in the back wasn't that bad. ) and ended up in a not really lined up crowd at the entrance of the fair hall. So I made my way to the actual counter, payed for my ticket (which cost less than a 10th of the one for Stranger Things, as I've recently learned. Because for some weird reason they had two events this weekend using the same entrance, just different doors! And yes, I saw the "Stranger Things" poster (only the title!) at the entrance, but there was no clear indication, that it was a separate event on that day. Within the entrance hall there were two separate areas. When I finally reached the fair hall entrance, I got a little confused. The start however was a little weird, or should I say strange? When I arrived, there was a huge line, so I went to the end of it and pulled my copy of Palm Island out and started playing in Smombie-mode (head down, barely looking up). It's basically all German, so while most people know their basic English, it might be a linguistic adventure, if you don't speak any German. The hall itself was a typical fair hall, like the ones in Essen, but it had a giant free play area. But I still got to play some interesting games. Too bad our new special public transport ticket was released in Mai, otherwise I'd have attended for more than one day. I may add some of his fellows to the no shipping auction, for those who are willing to pay their "travel expenses". People who actually read my blog have already met my new companion, who will of cause appear in this post. Although the "surprise titles" are no longer a surprise, since they made their appearances in the SPIEL preview etc. I still want to share with you some things from earlier this year, so I've decided to stuff three gaming events into one post.
