Have Games, Will Travel #80

BoardGameGeek.CON session reports, part 1, with Yspahan, Notre
Dame, Tara: Seat of Kings, Space Dealer, and Die Saulen Der
Erde

0:41 - I'm back from BGG.CON and I'm just about to head off
to GenCon SoCal, so I thought I'd start in on my session reports
for the Essen releases I played.

1:37 - This is show is part of the Gaming Broadcast Network.

1:44 - Yspahan is, as Mike Siggins puts it, a "super filler"
that offers a nice amount of strategy in a short period of time.
I got to play this twice, once with Cynthia and Eric from Meeple
People.

10:49 - Thanks to Valerie Putnam for bringing and teaching
Notre Dame, a prototype of the next Alea game, which will be
released at Nuremburg in the spring.

14:41 - Tara: Seat of Kings is an abstract game that I just
didn't wrap my head around.

16:59 - The most exciting thing I played at BGG.CON was an
eight player game of Space Dealer.

21:45 - My favorite game of the convention was Die Saulen Der
Erde. Thanks so much to Rick Thornquist of BoardGameNews for give
me the chance to try it out.

30:27 - This show is member of the Gaming Podcast Network.

30:36 - I want to thank lots of people who made it a great
weekend, including Doug Garrett (of Garrett's Games and
Geekiness) and everyone who tracked me down and said hello.

31:28 - Thanks to Jimmy Anderson for the new music for the
show.

31:50 - With the beginning of Season Four, I'd like to put
together a new promo for the show, and I'd love it if you would
help me with it.

34:07 - And now, I'm off to GenCon SoCal. If you're there, be
sure to stop by the podcasting seminar on Saturday at 2 PM.
