- Skybridge has a good pedigree here.
- Michael Rieneck and Franz Wohlgemuth both have designed great games
- But the theme for me actively is annoying because it looks so cool it doesn't really come through.

Quotes (from this video)
- I did not enjoy my first play of Echoes of Time.
- this is a light tableau building card game.
- Flow... it looks gorgeous.
- Covenant. Number two on my most anticipated list.
- Vlaada Chvátil. Do you know what the last game that Vlaada designed was? ... He's not actually designed a new game and had a new game published for almost 10 years.
- It's called Severton.
- I have spent the last 15 years of my life telling everybody that Talisman is such a bad game... And with the fifth edition, I've had to sort of eat my words on that.
- There just isn't enough time to play all of the games.
- IR from Osprey Games. Children of the Sun. Yeah. It is really good.
- Druids of Adora, new Stefan Feld game from Alea
- There may be some Essen live streams while we're there.
- I have written to the publisher to ask for a potential review copy, yeah, but to be fair, I only emailed them yesterday.
- Covenant. I completely forgot that was a thing. Started looking at the pictures and and thinking, yeah, I'm down for that.
- The The Void Voynich Puzzle. Voynich Yeah. Don't forget go to bed reading the Wikipedia articles about the Voynich manuscript.
- Saboteur is the other one which I did know. I saw it on your shelf uh today earlier, but I didn't know much about it. But now you've explained what it is, I'm kind of getting that um like Enid Blyton vibe from it. Yeah. what was it called? The Famous Five. Famous Five. Famous Five. Of that kind of stuff. Yeah. And weirdly, I'm interested. All right. And I've looked at the pictures of that, so yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Saboteur is good.
- I'll be demoing, but I'm demoing um uh Revenant um I think twice on the Saturday from 12:00 till 4:00.
- Trickerion with the Arcane Arts expansion. I think that's my schedule.
- Now, the one game that I am going to be looking at is there's a new game that Mighty Boards have just announced recently called Gods. All right. Which is designed by David Thompson, Trevor Benjamin, and is right up my alley.
- And they said, "Well, at least come round and have a look at it." And I'm like, "Yeah, I'll come round and have a look at it." But I've already agreed that I'm going to be doing content on that.
- I find it really weird and unusual that and and everybody else does this. I'm the odd one, but all of all of these content creators go to Essen, they go to Gen Con, and they have meetings with publishers where they sit down and they make deals about payment and what videos they're going to Right. That's the worst place to have a meeting.
