Quotes (from this video)
- So
- I played the prototype back then, I made a preview video for it, and um, I have it here, I have to ask Marcel again, it would be super nice if he could print an insert for me for it, because this game without an insert is a disaster.
- This game without time, this game without an extra board game room is unfortunately not realis, or realistically playable for me, which is why it's been lying on my shelf for three years.
- There are three massive campaigns in it, and Hesi from Trusted has already played it and is also in the chat right now, he also said, yeah, the first campaign is quite nice, it gets even more intense the further you play.
- Imagine you have a kind of 4X game, but where all that annoying fighting and such has been removed, and only trading is included.
- If you like negotiation at the table, then definitely check this thing out.
- Historical setting, negotiation. That means we have a game where we're not just climbing tracks, converting resources, or upgrading actions, but where we are actually actively trying to reach our goals and shape our fortunes the whole time by interacting with our fellow players.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's Thessaloniki. Uh this is for one to four players and takes about 2 hours to play. So, a little bit on the heavier side.
- I did see a quick demo of this at Gen Con. I didn't actually play it, but got a little bit of description.
- Okay, for our number one for my number one is Chrono Critters from Delicious Games. I'm always intrigued on what is Delicious Games going to show off.
- So, there is a circular action selection area. It I don't think it rotates or anything, but it's kind of circular.
- So, next we have a maybe a reprint or a new edition of Manila. This game has been around for a long time.
- This reminded me a little bit of taking up or down. Mechanic where you're placing the ele your elevator cards either in a descending or an ascending order.
- So, I have Greenwood. This is for one to four players and plays in about an hour to three and a half hours. So, it's it's it's a little over our normal play time, which is one reason why it's in the honorable mention category.
- Um, we have one last one. It's Prestige. This is for two to four players. Takes about 90 to 180 minutes to play.
- So, we've talked about so many games coming to Essen. There are hundreds more that we didn't mention.
