ESSEN SPIEL 2024. HAUL | I brought a lot more than I wanted

[@MarinDomjanovic]

What i really like about Essen Spiel and boardgaming in general... We were at the same event, walked the same halls, talked about all the games we are excited, shared info, we both bought over 70 games, and we only have a cross-section of 3 games :) There truly are games for everyone and for every taste.

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

Isn't that insane, right? We did cross over on a few coffees and a beer also :)

[@GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran]

"Things happened"

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

At the end I was thinking of just putting the games in front of me completely. It would be funny. :D What games did I brought to your attention?

[@GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran]

@@LifeofaBoardGamer the main one was Thorgal, never heard of it before and I love coop and also story driven, added it to my BGG wishlist. The others were Loooot and Hedge Maze, but after looking at them I didn't bother adding them atm.

New subscriber, great to see a fellow Croatian in the hobby ❤

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

Wait, are you Jessica Biel from the year 2094.? AWESOME!!! Welcome! Welcome! :)

[@IrenaAndrić-v9k]

The Flower Fields looks good! :D I'd like to try Yokohama too

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

@@IrenaAndrić-v9k Yokohama I already know is an excellent game. I have yet to encounter anyone who dislikes it :)

[@glazba777]

OMG I’m so in for the Artifacts giveaway 😮😮😮

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

Me too. Me too. :D

[@GamingRulesVideos]

I shared a room with the social media guy from Dranda (Will)

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

That must have been hilarious. Will is amazing. I had a blast him pitching the games to me at our meeting. You were at the same time teaching Galactic Cruise and he told me you were his pre-show act to warm up the crew before he steps in. What an honor you had.

[@GamingRulesVideos]

There was another game from Pink Troubador? (Galileo Galilei)

[@GamingRulesVideos]

oh right. Dirt & Glory. Never heard of it.

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

Dirt & Glory. Right. I saw cool cover, cars, explosions, neon colors sort of...and was hooked immediately.

[@bitsandbiology]

I'd be happy to take Galileo Galileo off your hands 😂 jk, I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the game!

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

@@bitsandbiology I have few games I need to go through as soon as possible but after that...I'm all over the Spiel games 🙂

[@mkitten13]

And here I thought I was crazy for getting 27 games (but then again, I don't have a boardgaming channel, lol)

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

Having a channel does that to you. I was really trying to keep to 30-40 games but then I met a lot of wonderful people that I could not say 'no' to and now we have problem for future Danijel to resolve. :)

Re: The CGE factory. It is the same one they have always used, but they now own the factory themselves :)

[@LifeofaBoardGamer]

I was not 100% sure do they own it but yeah...now that you mention it I kinda remember reading a bit about it. They also made Speculaas in their factory. A game designed by my friend and that had it's premier at the fair this year. :)
