Anticipated games

That whole set looks kind of cool. There’s one of those “5 second challenges” games with this nifty zig zag ball bearing timer.

I’ve been looking for Viking Seesaw for a bit but to get it from America (ns who I guess imported from Japan) is about £50 off eBay. Probably more.

If UK people want me to buy it at Spiel, just say… the sooner the better as I’ll be doing most of my shopping tomorrow afternoon.

If you wouldn’t mind, I’ll set a limit of around £20 plus postage from you for it though. Looks like Itten sell it for 2530 yen or about £15.50 so that should be OK.

I’m interested, but not really must have it whatever the cost interested.

Thanks that’s super generous! I think I will pass for now though.

Will you ship to Australia Roger? :wink:

I think I can wait for the KS, got a couple of balancing games (Bamboleo, Riff Raff)

Turns out Viking Seesaw is only for demo - don’t know if it was for sale first thing but it isn’t now.

No problem, thanks for checking

Thank @yashima who did the legwork while I was stuck at the booth. :slight_smile:

After playing the first production copy of it at SHUX, I am super anticipating Rebuilding Seattle.

Played two rounds at a demo booth and really enjoyed it. I found balancing your population, the things they wanted and the other things that score points or give you bonuses to be a fun puzzle.

There’s not a ton of player interaction, but it does seem to encourage you to pay some attention to the other players to know when to trigger the global events to get you the most benefit while benefiting everyone else the least, or to pay attention to know when they’re likely to trigger the global events so you can prepare to benefit as well.

It was also pretty. They said it should be releasing in January 2023, and I’ll definitely be picking it up.

it looks fun. i tried a little bit. he didn’t speak English week enough to give a full rules explanation but it’s a very small package that looks like it may deliver some good fun.

So this is now up for pre-order and it’s £50! I can get a Hollandspiele or GMT game for that price.

I’m now sticking to ‘if you can’t decide if it’s worth the cost, don’t bother getting it’.

Rumours of a Flash Point Legacy next year. Really not sure how I feel about that, one of my favourite games in one of my least favourite formats.

Let’s do a pbf and really tease out that hatred.

EDIT. I’m imagining a fireman Sam* situation where Norman Price lights a different fire in each game.

As a parent of a child who watches Fireman Sam, this little twerp once set a swimming pool on fire. A swimming pool! He needs therapy and some stricter parenting.

ahem carry on.

There’s a particularly meta episode where Norman returns from a three week holiday during which no fires were reported.

I want to see the dark episode where they Wicker Man him

Death by fire? Sam will be conflicted.
