Spiel Essen 2017

Tried to get Photosynthesis, Sold out by midday yesterday. The playtest was solid with queues for both yesterday and today sadly. Looks fantastic, really original and interesting, and the pieces themselves look very nice.
Skyislands adds some nice dynamics to normal smallworld. good fun if you've got vanilla or expansions.

Didnt get a chance to play Gloomhaven but again hugely popular, and from what ive read, with good reason.

Two i did get to play, new one from Hans im Gluck, Majesty, good fun, easy to learn like carcassone and quick. also room to make more complex with an A side and B side to game pieces.
Also Magic Maze, pretty intense but great fun, like speed dungeon crawler/zombiecide without the zombies. Winning awards and its easy to see why.

Was a lot busier today as well, hate to think how bad it'll be over the weekend.

Also got a very nice shogi set where the pieces had been redesigned to represent the available movement of the piece itself. Very well thought out and they look great.
