March of the Ants is uh from Tim Eisner. So, same guy who did uh Canopy and some guy who did Leaf. Um, and I have talked highly about both of those games. Uh, this one is a reimplementation of an older game, March of the Ants. This is an area control game, quite an aggressive area control game.
Now, when you put those two things together along with Board of Dice, you usually expect a very complicated, heavy, oh my god, there's so many rules type game.
The demo did a good job of teasing me, thinking, 'Wow, this game didn't feel that complicated.' It was It was very in-depth.
This could be one of the better David Turczi games I've played in recent uh you know tried out in recent um years.
They didn't want to just make it White Castle with two players because to be honest, White Castle worked best as a two-player game.
This is a two-player area control game um where basically you have followers, dudes on the map.

Caution signs is one of the one that we got from Essen.
This is again, this is not new, but this is a good party game plays a lot of people, which is what is it now? Nine players up to nine players where one person is a guesser, the other one is drawer. You have 20 seconds to draw a combination of stuff and the guess I will need to and the cards would get mixed.
You will get an adjective and a noun and draw them together.
Very good there.
Yes. And then it's kind of so clovery you have to or a guesser has to align them correctly. Yes.

That is shiny.
Yeah, shiny. Anyways, trust me, it's shiny. So, this is by Studio H. And this is a kind of like yeah as I say uh engine not engine building but tile placement you're trying to meet objective in a different way and this is my fault chemist lookout games
now if you look back at the fortunes of scandal way it is a euro game but a euro game but looks like a marit
very uh very thematic looking art. Yes, that this one is um well, look at Games brought out things like Oh, we've got the Forest Shovel one as well, the D Mall, the new version, but I didn't get it from Essence Spiel. I got it from Gen Con. Uh and this one is the lookout games one. So, would be interesting um to to play like this looks like not a Euro game, right?
No, it looks like a battle card type of game. It's what I would generally imagine. I mean, it is to play two players.
So, and so the Marvel characters we have here, it's I don't recognize many of them. That's Iron Man. That's the Hulk.
That's all you know about Marvel. I'm the big fan of Marvel bigger.

Yes, Punic War game from Felank.
And over there we have Children of Coloss. This might have the most heft to it. This is Yes, it is quite heavy. Children of the Colossi which I also show in photos um that it's kind of like a there's a area control but also there's uh you want to send your work in here for your control. want to send it up there in the mountains to give you more powers. So that difficult decision.
Um they've got lots and lots of them but and by the end of essence spill I see that they almost none. So I don't know maybe they sold out as well.
And this is not new. I don't know if this is this year's release. I'm pretty sure this was kickstarted.
So they're very big this year though. Jaggi. Yes.
Yeah. And we also had a alternative rule to some of using some of the components for
It needs more love.
I'd rather it be damaged than not arrive at all.
