Anticipated games

I have a lot of friends in Mexico. Spanish… well, my copy of samurai is just numerals and kanji so should be enough?

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/1mkwifj/samurai_by_reiner_knizia_official_digital_release/ and it looks like Samurai is coming back to Mobile after a 10 year hiatus.

Edit: $80 USD. Hmm.

Here we go: https://www.elduende.com.mx/producto/samurai/

That’s about $50. Now we have a decision on our hands…

They don’t ship direct to US but we could actually make this happen.

The box and board and tiles look great, it’s the tokens that don’t. They are all black and shaped very similarly, such that it’s hard to tell what is what. From the side you’d have no hope of figuring out if you’re fighting over rice or helmets. I could always put my old Rio Grande tokens into this box. Hrm.

Marvel Champions just announced what the next year will look like, and I like it. I wasn’t a fan of the recent releases (leaving aside the fact that so many sold out immediately / still haven’t come to the UK, and the whole legacy/current mess) but I DO want to buy a lot of the below:

Ignoring Wonder Man and Hercules obviously, as only 1% of players will be bothered about them, having a Defenders phase is great. The “Fear No Evil” expansion will have Daredevil, Echo, Fisk, Typhoid Mary and (edit: ) four more baddies. I absolutely want Jessica Jones and Elektra in this game, brilliant. So yes, the last couple of releases haven’t been must-haves for me, but next year looks great.

Yep! I suspect it’s going to be a very popular set:

I have literally never heard of any of them (but fear no evil must be something related to Daredevil, I guess). Must be out of the loop.

I think it is just he known as “The Man Without Fear,” so the name of the box set is playing on that.

Hot Streak delayed in the UK (AGAIN) until 10-12th December. Aaargh.

(After previous dates of 7th and 28th November. Why is it November anyway when other places have had it for months? Wah, booo etc)

I’ve got it on preorder with Wayland games, who have moved the date to the 10th. I noticed magic madhouse moved to the 12th too, and Zatu still doesn’t have it in. I’ll look around at physical stores though!

Update: Physical London stores don’t even have it as an entry on their page.

Everybody: Settlers has 5 copies! Go, go!

Ha! Just picked up my copy. Apparently selling fast online. Apparently took a punt on preordering a few copies of it when I placed my preorder.
