Really, any sufficiently grunty power source will do.
(The original concept had the car being driven into a nuclear test to provide power for the trip home.)

If we went by the second movie, we should be able to power it with banana skins and waste by nowā¦

2 years later. This was the last game I backed blindly and also takes a lot of space (half a Kallax cube). Keen on giving it a go for a few times and make a decision from there

Skyrise by Gavan Brown of Roxley Games ā Kickstarter
Roxleyās reimplementation of Metropolys. Considering how much I dislike Brass Birmingham, I might wait for this one. Definitely not going for deluxe. Even if they fix the problems of Metropolys, I wouldnāt pay deluxe prices for it.

I have been considering Skyrise and had this on my āwaiting for itā-list for a good while but I think I am on the āwait for retailā or āwait for cheaper German versionā side now that I have seen the KS. (Also I recently studied my list of preorders and decided that it was a very exciting list of games and maybe maybe I can take a break from backing stuff)

So I finally stumbled on images of this with it rising up the hotness on BGG. Is it just me or is the aesthetic very similar to the Christopher Nolan Batman films for the architecture? Is it some vibe of 1920s but not fully?
Iām off new games for now that arenāt around 19th Century trains so just being interested by the visuals here.
I have watched the series but not fully immersed into the series itself to remember it. It looks Art Deco (which I also adore)
Any thoughts on
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mindclash/septima
? ThinkerThemer just did an enthusiastic preview (linked from the KS page), but the designerās new to me.
I was interested, but I canāt justify spending ~Ā£80 on a game that I havenāt tried and I know nothing else by the designer.
Iām just gonna wait for retail.

Considering that Mindclash games do get retail editionsā¦ I think Iāll maybe see if I can try this at SPIEL. Or at least get a closer look. 80 sounds like a lot.

I donāt think Iāve felt enthused about anything else from Mindclash, and while I realise itās different designers etc. I do think theyāre trying for a āstyleā of game they publish which may well not be mine. I shall restrain myself and see what I can learn at Essen

I went for 18SJ, 18GB, and all the expansions.
Im curious on how nationalisation works with 18SJ 
. Nationalisation mechanisms are always interesting.
18GB 
- big fan of '60 Isle of Wight and '62 East Anglia so this seems like a no-brainer. Also, itāa incremental cap

Poss in for 21Moon, because spaaace!
The same designer also has 18Svea as a PnP. Itās a tiny 10 space 2-3 player 18XX. Iām tempted to make it.
Truth, thereās some people locally that buy everything Mindclash so Iāll muscle in on a game when their copies arrive.
