And so it begins…
Our second Spiel, our second trip to the European board game Walhalla, our second chance to go deep into the heart of all that is fun at the chaos called Essen.
How are you all doing? We had a rough week with one of the kids being ill and one having her continued trouble sleeping. Before we noticed a week without any noticeable gaming went by. But let’s return to the present, with Essen around the corner, there is a lot going on and a lot of gaming hours on the horizon.
Most anticipated games on the interwebs
So to start the hype, because that’s what is happening now ladies & gentleman, who’s on top of the Essen BGG GeekPreview and how does that hold up to the list from TableTop Together.

Our own too big and too long list of needs…
Preorders for Essen which I made till this date
The Climbers, Agra, Maria, Wir Sind Das Volk with the 2+2 expansion, Supply Lines of the American Revolution: The Northern Theater, 1775-1777. (I know right, that name is hilarious, just love HollandSpiele for these geeky things) and London
Games I want to check out and are on our (too big of a) list
SPIEL ’17 – A Board Game Life Tabletop Together list 2016
As you may notice, there are still a lot of titles on it and we need to sort things out a little more. Upcoming days I will go into more details about the why we want game x or why we are still on the fence about some other.
