Essence spill 2025 and jet lag. It's a real thing. I'm still dealing with that and this has already been a few days. I'm not complaining. I love love love Essence Bill. Thank you for being part of my journey, meeting me, taking selfie with me and the games.
Yes. And I was not there, of course. I was at home. Uh
maybe we're just in the hotel just hiding or just playing games solo.
I was not.
Okay.
I was not. I was waiting at home for Stella to uh do the journey and collect the games and get the photos that we're going to go through here in this slideshow vlog.
Sounds like you just giving me all the hard work. Hard work.
Yes.
Of all travel.
Yes.
Well, Taran was learning some rules ready for us to play. So, by the way, did you go to Essence? Did you meet me? Please let me know in the comments. If you didn't, what have you been playing? And what is your top game so far? Because this is closer to end of 2025 means that we will be sharing our top games of 2025.
Yes. And of course in all the big releases often the best. Often the best.
Who knows?
You're doubting you're doubting your own. Often the best.
It's often us. Last year it was a a Gen Con or an earlier for me. Um
who cares? That's last year. Anyways, hi everyone. And it's Stella here
and Tarant
from Mipu University. What we're going to do in this video except exchanging dead jokes and silly manters and not complaining at all. We are going to show you our slideshow as Taran already.
Your slideshow.
All right. Well, yes, my slideshows which you have to enjoy and all of you have to enjoy and the games that we
or click skip. I mean, you can if you Yeah.
All right. Check the time stamp if you want to click skip to the games. Now
we have to give them options anyway.
Okay. Thank you.
Skip and don't skip.
Yes. Uh so we are going to show you the games that I have right now. And then part of the games still making their way home unfortunately. Actually most of the games most of the heavier games heavy not heavy bless. Um, despite of my efforts of punching all the components, getting rid of the empty cardboard, it's still, you know, I needed post office help to ship my games home.
Yep. Europe to Australia does not allow uh readymade excess baggage or it's certainly uncompetitive to have excess baggage compared with using Deutsche Post.
Remember a few years ago when I accidentally shipped an extra baggage and I had to pay $2,000 plus dollars.
It was very expensive. It was very expensive. So, it was the most expensive board games. I had the options of either abandon all my games, which obviously I'm not going to do. I wasn't going to do ever, or ship them for $2,400 and then dis dispute that later, which I lost.
Yes.
Damn Quantis. Anyways,
you're a Quantis member, aren't you?
Yeah, I am. Now,
they better not stuff around with me. Anyways, let's get to the uh slideshow, do we? and then we can talk about more essen and welcome to my slideshow the tradition that we have every time we are back from convention.
Yes. Are we in the corner of the screen now?
We are.
Okay.
So you are small now. You're captured in the corner and we start with well this is actually taken not by me as you can see it looks very professional. This was by the official essence spill photographer.
Oh,
so some of these are actually most of these photos Taran hasn't seen. So he's sharing with you the first time his reaction. So look at Taran's reaction and that will be probably your reaction but not recorded. Anyways,
this is the first one you just have to deal with that Taran. So here, so I get to chat about my favorite lit RPG book or one of my favorite RP lit RPG books, Dungeon Crawler Carl. After I was wearing the t-shirt and then the photographer was like, "Oh my god, I love Dungeon Crawler Carl." I'm like, "Oh my god, I love it too. Oh my god, what else did you see? Oh my god, I love he who fights with monsters." And then so on and so on. And then we chatted about like I don't know 10 minutes. And then there's Ascadellia on the left and then Courtney on in the middle. So at some point I saw ascadellia and she also likes dungeon crawl car and I was like come on come on let's all three chat about this lit RPG book and then we all chatting about lit RPG book which is adjacent to board game hobby right?
Yes and ascadio is in Australia recently for packs Australia.
I know that was very exciting and I'm sorry you if you feel like you excluded from this so the only way to fix it is start reading lit abiji books. Thank you. So sad. Next. So this is John D and she works for dice throne. It's kind of like same as separate from Roxy game. So this is the day zeroish and this is the game that is from Felang, a new game. Um it is a a twoplayer war game and it looks like the card play is really simple. Um I have that game on the way back home.
Yeah, Puna. This is um
well it's a it's a rich uh a rich area of thing cuz Felank recently had the other Punic Wars game that was released also.
So this is Puna. Next one is totally puno
by my clash game.
Punicas alien style Puna 3 Puna Resurrection
or me with my puny little hands
like T-Rex predator. puny puny little hand and this is the media preview which happens day zero and which is what is that Wednesday so there's lots and lots of exhibitor showing their games early kind of like picking our interests to see okay this is going to be and what we need to visit and so on
this was new last year wasn't it
uh I can't remember but I believe it's quite new yes yes so you were involved last year Yes.
Um, and this is the video of that. So, um, I feel like I didn't go to all of them. There's like so many so many like great looking stuff. So, this is one of them. Um, boss fighters. Oh, this is Eric from Board Game Geek and the lady from Essence Spiel. So, one of the organizers or the the head of it. I'm like, "Oh, you're from SH Spiel. Oh, you're from BG." I'm just Stella from me. Never mind. And this is Recall. The game is still on the way to us because it's quite heavy.
Yes. Very very uh very hot. The follow up to Revive.
I'm really I'm really sad that we can't play this yet. I want to play it right now. But
20 kilos is 20 kilos.
Just 20 kilos games and then 10 kilos games. The 10 kilos box. I had it last minute from the hotel and I had to fit all the heavy stuff so that it will fit in the 10 like a small box. So I like recall is the only logical solution. So I pop recall there and this is kind of like revive 2.0. So very excited to play this. Um and this is the people from Baton Bland Blast.
Yes, this was a game we recently recently received recently did a how to play for
and you enjoy that. You had that on your top games of the month as well.
Uh what the game is about Bon Race and it's like a combination of Flam Rouge and Gloom Haven. So if you like those games, check it out.
Yes, the Gloom Haven card play. Uh no one no one is
no minis
fighting uh
monsters
fighting monsters on the Batlon course.
Technically I'm still correct.
Get your little air pistol and shoot the uh
shoot the monsters. She's like, Anyways, this is the next um display. So, Aquaria, Underwater Cities, and Aona. This is from Delicious Games. And this is the Oh, this is Children of Colossi. So, games on the way to us. And seems like it's got quite unique um mechanics. I'm going to show you all the games that we've got because I took photo before I shipped them home so I can check make sure every single game arrives safely.
I mean,
or unsafeely. a ding or a dent here or there.
As as long as they're still there, you're like, who knows? Maybe the, you know, person at the custom had to check it and then they open it. Oh my god, such a hot game. And then they took it.
That would be unethical.
It would be impossible. Anyways, so um yeah, Children of Colossi, this is just a rule book and it's kind of like a bit of a area control and then difficult decision where you want to place your mele. You want to put an area control or you want to assign it for powers type of thing. Um yes this is Daniel Reynolds um which is designers um things like caution signs the game still making its way and she also designs a few other games and she's part of Wise Wizard Games and next to me is Deb from Wise Wizard Games. She looks really happy
indeed.
I love this photo of like Dev. [clears throat] This is great. Uh this is Yay. This is a game. They I think they're from Japan is a Japanese company and it's about potato farming. Look at the cute components.
I did see a lot of potatoes in that photo.
Potatoes not part of the game.
Of course. I'm sorry. Would you review it bad now? I can include the potatoes.
We'll just eat chips when we play it.
That's okay. So, yay. It looks really fun. It's making its way. And this is our friend Roc Scadelia again. And then I invut from table topping Instagram account. They're really nice people. We ended up um we we ended up doing party. So some nice the booth has got booth parties and we ended up like going from parties to parties together um with water ink and also Chrisley and Stefan from we love board game.
So this is the other displays and fence. So they're doing parks co publisher co-publisher and then F and Schlack which is Fban. Yeah, thank you.
Yes, they are the uh the stone me partner Europe

Ark Nova the Ark Nova game of Sanctuary.
Yes. Yes. It's It's a really good game and I've seen people lining up pretty much every day to get it.
Yes.
And this is Martin. And Martin uh two consecutive years gave me minis, painted minis. Now this is the second one. The first one was the baby Yoda. It was really cute. Now it's
I thought I saw an extra mini on your computer screen. I was like that looks slightly different to what I remember
on top of computer screen.
And this is Icona Games Day as well. They based in Macedonia and Melbourne, Australia. And this is the Legacy of Mars. Have you heard of that?
I have not.
Oh,
caught me by surprise here.
Uh-huh. Surprise.
This is the terraforming mass legacy game. It's
more we have to add to our completionist terraforming Mars fair.
Correct. I think this is going on Kickstarter. I was kind of like half forcing them. I want to demo. I want to demo. But then was like, okay, we haven't scheduled this yet. Maybe on Sunday or not. But I didn't come back on Sunday. So, I don't know, maybe they demo it. I ended up either tired or busy. I was really tired that day. Um, on Sunday, I hid at it behind someone's booth at one stage. It's just like sitting down resting.
Yes.
Yeah. It's over. It's It's very welming. It's very overwhelming. Yeah. Essence.
It could be a bit
a lot of noise and a lot of people. Yes.
Having a little uh place of respit behind a behind a booth is
behind a counter [clears throat] and then chatting with somebody like please tell me if you have been to Essence Spiel and there are times where you feel a little overwhelmed. Please let me know. I'm not I need to know if am I the only one or maybe you know some people do that. Do you did you feel overwhelmed a little bit last year when you went to ASM? Yeah, a lot of walking, a lot of people, a lot of noise every so often. Just getting into a quiet corner and um chilling back is
and sit down on the floor and then until people approach you. Hey, you tarant.
Yes,
I don't mind that. And then we just like if that happens like okay, let's just like let's relax with me or something like that, you know.
Um so this is also still in the same booth.
Yep. Expansion packs for Kingdom Legacy.
I know. Look at the right hand side one. I don't know from your hand from your side left or right. Doesn't he look like brother? I swear. The one that says ambitions.
It's got a bit of a John Stewart look from John Stewart.
From my angle here.
How about this angle?
Oh, yeah. I see a mix of Rado and John Stewart in there.
I need to Google who John Stewart is. Do you know John Stewart?
He's a He's a late night host in the US.
So, are you saying that Rado looks like John Stewart? No, I'm saying if you melded them together that
if and John Stewart had a baby and that's this guy.
Yeah,
but much older. So, they would have Anyways,
yes. After getting older and going back in time to have 1870s fashion,
this is getting very complicated and impossible. Let's move on.
Let's move on.
Yes.
Oh, a score track.
Yes. Do you know what this is?
I do not.
I do not either. I forgot. I think I I accidentally filtered these videos and I'm like, what was that? I think this is like the wolf. This is Broadway's game. One of Broadway's game. Wolf of something Wall Street, which was an older game that they did. Oh, there it is. Wall Street. Not in context.
Right.
Yeah. Thank you. Um, this is the pizza that I ate. I beaten a little bit on the corner. I'm sorry, everyone, but it looks so good. Look at how puffy is the the edges.
That's very puffy crust.
Hang on. Is the edge or the edges? Because technically that's one edge.
Yeah.
Yes. Crust. Yes.
If you cut it into eight pieces, then you've got more edges.
Thank you. But at this stage, you just add once one edge. So it's 60 seconds to nap, which we actually um meet up before as um they're on the left from heavy cardboard. They're so lovely. And there's Franch Roberto from uh from Gems of Iridia
and Sonia our friend. Sonia made it to Essence Spiel I think that for the for the first time and Stefan from we play we love board game and then there are some people on the next table as well which is um part of the dinner and then somebody on the right hand side which is only
only one eyeball visible. You're not you're busted not looking at the camera properly.
Yeah, I was looking at other people. Make sure that they're looking at the camera.
And behind, you know, the one with the um the guy with the with the hair crunch.
Mhm.
That's Jay. He's also from Australia. I think it's his first time. And he sounds a lot like Heith Miller, which is the um voice actor that did He Who Fights with Monsters. Oh my god. I like Yes. and then a few other like heretical fishing and so on. So I recorded his voice. Um and this is Fat Swan. Incredible. Very very long queue trying to get the game.
Yeah, this was probably the biggest among the Was it the most anticipated of all the games? Was it this year?
Oh, it is on my list.
Was it this year's evolution in terms of cues and uh
probably excitement?
And this is not have the English version. And we ended up with El Pantano Dea.
They have Spanish version.
This is the only one they have. And then at the bottom of this, there's English rule book. And then the back of it is English
and frogs.
Oh, very cute. You like frogs. Doesn't mean you like the game. I think you will like the game. Anyways, I was like six in line, but I had an appointment so I had to leave my queue. So, but I got it anyway at the end. Long story short.
Yes. And this is Ellis. This is a a kind of a roll on right, but um I didn't end up getting it because I had to choose between a few games which I will show later. Um it seems fine. It's flip and right. Sorry. And then you put it on the sheets, but the sheets is you have to flip the sheets and then fold the sheet as well to score.
Yeah.
Mad magazine folding in a game.
Yeah. There you go. Is it like that with mad magazine? Are they still around?
[clears throat]
I don't know.
Tell us.
I would imagine they probably are, but uh magazine comedy is [snorts] not as important as once it was.
Now that there is the internet,
there's YouTubers.
Okay. I forgot about that.
You had to have gone to get a magazine about game reviews in the past.
Ask on the magazine.
Now we can come to you.
Oh, okay. Well, magazines also come to you and you have to get it yourself otherwise unless you got subscription. Anyways,
yes,
space.
This is
space something. I can't see the small word. Or is it just space?
It's space lab.
Space lab.
Um, do we have it here?
I do not believe so. I think that is on route.
A This seems to be a a quite neat engine building. So, you can see that there are three space stations and you put have to put cards around it and then meeting the objectives.
That looks cute.
There you go. Space lab. I did tell you that.
Yes.
There it is. Space Lab.
Still Space Lab.
Insurrection. Oh, we just read that
ins. This one we do have from Labour in 10. Insurrection. Insurrection 10. It's got very big 10 vibes here.
Yes. This is kind of like a new version of Fantasy
Realms.
Thank you. So, and it has a bit of
which was also red rising. Another game that was very inspired by that
bit of um
uh what do you call that thing? I don't know what you call that thing. It's wake up placement
like in the middle or something like that. So that's why I took that one and then dropped Alice. Sorry Alice. So yes, it's got that vibe. And there's Moonshine as well. It looks really cute. Um I'll probably get it later. And there's other games that is shown in the uh with Hashet. Look at the, you know, the micro micro suit.
Micro macro suit.
There it is. So, fluff from um Hashed and we decided that we had matching suits. So, we took photo.
They are not matching, but they are uh
same vibe.
They are Yes. Vibe vibe matching.
Vibe matching. Well, mine was designed well made specifically for me. I'm sure he's also specifically made for him because he need to have made the fabric, right? Micro and micro. And uh my friend Jenny from Jenny Flores Designs, wink wink link in the comment made this for me. Thank you. Uh this is Johnny Pack. I know, right? So, have you convinced Have you been convinced that this is a cowboy hat?
Well, it says it is.
Okay, then it is. M
this is again the Y potato game.
Yeah.
And this is Kie and Ivan. So um he's um he's from Hobby World. So I was like this is one of the reason why I love Essen Spiel and Gen Con and conventions. Guess what? I get to hang out with my friends. Uh I found I met on the conventions and then I get to catch up and then I meet new friends. So, so that is Ivan which is um he's um
designer of Fennis.
Yes. And also other games that coming up. It's already there but not in English. And he's also worked for Hobby World as one of the product studio manager.
And this is um on the right is board game heaven and in the middle is from uh the guy that did macarakon, designer of macarakon. He also designed other games. You like macaron? I like macaron.
Yes. that is in in crowdfunding at the moment.
I think it's finished.
It's finished. Very good.
They have another game here that they um they display Trials of Maya. He also writes books and do other things. The books is going to be on audio book by Hugo that Australian guy.
Okay.
Ah, Hugo Weaving.
Yes.
Okay.
Thank you. Who else? How many Hugo are they?
I I don't know.
Okay. Okay. I was
I wasn't sure you were fishing for a uh for a specific Hugo.
That is the Hugo.
So, he's the um Agent Smith, right?
The Matrix.
Oh, is he? I got to look.
Weaving.
Yeah.
Oh, nice. So, this is why Taran is really good at trivia. So, I always recruit him because [clears throat] he balances me and I'm really bad at trivia. Well, he's really good. So, it's like,
and if they ask questions about the movies from between my ages of 16 and 25, then that's the sweet spot. I might know the actors in them.
I will figure out and find out if the G trivia movie is during those years. And I will come to you and I will
most of them are cuz most people who run trivia nights
are roughly my age at the moment. So, I'm in the sweet spot. Let's go to the trivia.
When you go to trivia nights as a 20-year-old, it's all like 40 to 50 year old people who write the questions and so it's like songs from the 1970s and
but then I will age out eventually and all the questions will be about music from later than 2010 and then I'm just completely um going to lose.
Oh my gosh, I just found a way to exploit [clears throat] free vouchers for restaurants. Let's recruit people and then let's do that. Let's move on.
Okay. But it's a good idea. Um, all right. So, this is the designer of Gizogi and this little game which I have here. Gizog is on the way. Is it
is on the way?
I swear I I thought I'd bring more games than this. Or is it?
It's very sad.
You have to fit your clothes. And uh
I've already shipped some of my clothes in the box. All right.
And this.
Um.
Yes. So, this is FOMO little game. And Jogi was uh very Yeah. Very hot. Yes,
game for Essen.
I actually had another rule book that actually is working for Jizogi, but a different way of playing for Jizogi. So, that would be cool as well.
And this is it's obvious. Um, and I just discovered something that is very surprising that there is a secret compartment under it's obvious. Sorry, it's a spoiler, but you know, I just don't want you to end up like me, not knowing about this information for how many months now? Last year, isn't it?
Last year. Yeah, I think it was a Gen Con last year.
One plus years not knowing this secret information is under the insert box. So, check it out if you have. It's obvious.
It's very fun party game.
Um, and I really love his t-shirt.
It has It has Meeples on it.
I know. It's really cool. in different ways.
Mhm. Mhm. It's very cool. So that's why I took the photo of like, "Hey, I love your t-shirt."
And this is Fabio Lupiano, which is the designer of many, many, many games.
Yes. Base last year.
Yes. And this is an Asod display area.
Mhm.
I went at some point. And this is from board game rambling.
Yes.
And spotted with I for some reason I always spot him or spot her, not Joanna. And she always seems to have like big suit one or two big suitcases and take time. I didn't bring this home. I had good things about it
and it's a cooperative game. So I should probably source it later from Leblude and it's also cardia a card game. Seems smart. I didn't bring it home. Unfortunately I have limited baggage and it is shut up and sit down. Although we all standing up at them and uh Danielle and then Tom Vessel is there and this is Ninja Geek is Mark and this is
that is Movers and Shakers.
How do you know that?
Because I've read the rule book for it.
There you go. So we are playing this soon. Video is coming soon. Yes, that is the uh it's by Paulo and Nuno and it uh is a reuse of the Panamax movement mechanism in a new game.
Panamax is one of the meaningful games, one of the heavier games that I played with Taran the first time I met him
early on. Is it? Yeah. Isn't it
in the in the first few months?
Yes. Is it
at the time it was the heaviest game we had played?
Is it the one that you own? One of the games that you own. It
was one of the few games I owned early on. Yes.
Yes. dresses my games like, "Oh, you have had a panomax." So, really excited to play this one by Quint Games. And this is all crap, which we did the short and sweet video earlier.
We've seen the prototype for that. So, this is the final
Yep. final copy.
And this is Welcome to Red Leaf University. I was like, "Oh, it's like Maple University." This is one of the Grail Games upcoming game. Looks really good. Like, we've been really enjoying Grail Games games. Yes, they've had some nice sort of older feeling um in interactive kind of uh yeah, not brutal is not the word, but unforgiving. Yes, a little bit unforgiving.
And it's a medium kind of like medium complexity games. Um they're kind of like in that spot and they have stuff upcoming most of them. There's also like panda spin which is slightly different than other things
but
night soil I think was anticipated by many.
Yes, I think I saw night soil was bought by a few people and also some people got fantasy brewers which is good.
Yeah.
And this is the game. So this is not final production and I think that's going to be something that we like as well. And
mother I know right 25.
Yes.
Fifth edition.
I know. So it's been many editions. So, we played the original room 25. The box is like quite big and quite flat.
And
as games were back in the day,
is it?
Well, back in the back, you go far enough back, all boxes were like Monopoly box sized.
They get flatter. Yeah, they get flatter. That's right. So, um wasn't going to be shown with me, but I saw it on the side and I was like, I play the original of Room 25. I'm like, oh, really? Yes, this is upcoming. So, this is a fifth edition. Apparently, it's same, but better. essentially Cube the Game. If you remember the low budget
Canadian late 90s film Cube. See it hits
it's hitting that age sweet spot
for trivia tarant. And this is asterisk. So it doesn't it's not called asterisk and obelix. It's asteric. So the board games of asteric it's called asteric and something else. And this is what uh some of the cards that's in the game which is really cute. Mhm.
This is caution signs that are played.
Mhm.
Hungry crocodile.
That I can see it's hungry. That is not a crocodile.
What is it then?
That is an otter
maybe. Or eels.
I don't know. I don't know how to draw a crocodile, right?
Teeth
clearly. Oh yeah, that's actually a good thing. Yeah, I should have got like big teeth. This is why Taran is better at drawing games.
I do like drawing games.
Mhm. There you go. the pointing and the caution signs box. And this is the the fox from Lucron Games. And this is Jay with the voice talent.
Yes,
Mike. When I hear his voice, like [sighs and gasps] sounds like Hit Miller. So cool. Another options job option for you, Jay. Beside board game designing. And this is the party that Fantasia Oh, this is just Fantasia games booth. And this is the party that they had. And they have this reveal, big reveal, which is the cover of the next their next game. Look at that. How
So is that revealed or is it is the game called coming soon? Because I've seen a lot of this coming soon on my socials.
That's actually a good point.
Is it revealed or is it teased?
Unfortunately, I couldn't hear what they say. It was really loud. I mean, surely you'll find out soon enough, right? On social media, on their website.
So, look at that. I really love the picture. And look at how Luke Lori looks like Luke Lori, but not like Luke Lori because he looks like angry or upset or something. He hardly looks like that. It's very cute, I think. Anyways, um Oh, this is Christian old lion game. the recall and so on. And his partner and this is Alex. Sorry, I don't know how it works. So anyways,
pay bags of cheeels.
No, this is like dice tower stuff. I'm sorry. Dice tower. We did it when no one was there, but I need to have Why is it like sideways? Sorry, everyone. Uh, all right. Fix it. And he said that he can juggle, right? So I was like asking how do you juggle all this stuff? Like I can actually juggle as well. Oh, that's why. Yes. Juggling large things is difficult.
Yeah. Well, you can juggle. Can you
I can I can juggle juggling balls.
Yes. Anyway,
three of them. The plastic one is slightly harder because it's slippery, but this one's pretty good.

Okay. Well, you have your uh your fingers on the pulse. I should ask you more stuff. Yeah. Not that pulse. There you go.
It is a pulse. It is a pulse, but not the pulse I was talking about. This is at the hotel gaming. I managed to squeeze in more playing games this time. So, I was really happy because I found at the hotel uh there is this gaming room where people gather.

What a question. And if you see there um on the corner, ghost lift sold out. This is every single day by maybe 10:00 a.m.
So people lining up and the like a long line, but then the lines pretty quick. So basically people already have so they only take cash. So people have 20 euro in their hands. So like next and they don't give receipt as well. So literally
exchange $20 and the ghost lift game and then and move on and move on and next person next person. Yep. This is a We have played this one, both of us.
Where is it? See, you don't you don't have all of the games here.
No, I didn't bring it
cuz we played it. It was in our on our playing table.
Okay. See,
but this is a a big two style shedding game, but instead of just ascending, uh various cards will make it go up or down.
We'll need to pause before we show the games because I can see a few games, a few things are missing.
Okay,
busted. All you did was one thing, one responsibility to bring all the games. I I only need like probably like eight, nine days to lock everything heavily, go all the way to Essen, suffer all the jet lag, and all you need to do is one thing.
Well, that's very sad. Let's move on.
Okay. No, it's okay. I understand. So, this is one of the games that I got. It's called No, hang on. Go back. This is it. This is kind of like um a tile laying game, but rather than draft, well, it's kind of like drafting, but you shuffle, you shove the thing in the slot, the tile in the slot,
and then that's what you can get.
Cool.
So, you slide it left and right. And then, um, this is by Studio H game.
There you go. So, this is what you collect. And there are other professional objectives as well. And that's the game that we've seen before, Space Lab. And God five is upcoming family level puzzle deduction by blue orange game that I think it's going to be fun.

Uh, ah, yes. Yes, I have. So, what is The Inmates?
So, The Inmates is the latest and newest iteration of the game that G Studios was working on and developing for a little while.
G Studios is what I used to be doing as well on the side, but now I'm focusing on this one. So, I'm not part of um Mele well focusing on Mipple University. So, I'm not part of Gaff Studios. I'm not doing GF Studios at the moment. And we were developing this. This is kind of like our baby. It's called, it used to be called forgotten stories. Now it's been developed by Adam's Apple game and then they releasing it as the inmates which I am happy with and instead of cards they use tiles.
Yep. So this is released now or this
this is prototype. So they haven't would have seen one of the very earliest prototypes of this.
Yes. Watch out for that because this is
this does have a hannabi vibe.
Yes. Now this one has got hannabi vibe. So cooperatively working together to finish missions by well the rather than hannabi where you can't see the cards this the cart is actually two-sided.
Yes.
Yeah. Oh exciting for that.
You can only see one side of it and that tells you a little bit about the other side.
Correct. Like puzzle deduction.

So he's Ian right now is designing a lot of games and inside of SETI and I actually recognize his different t-shirts and then the lady from Czech games was like oh I didn't rec recognize that it's like yay because I don't stare at people's chest. It's very funny though Yeti yes exist there is so like sir Thomas is going to be the sequel of SI. It's called Yeti. It'll just be like the Yeti expansion of um
of Seti.
No, the I was going to say the game with the train. That could be anything. Snowonia. Snowonia has a Yeti.

There's a Yeti mini expansion where the Yeti comes and like eats your surveyor or something. I don't think he eats the surveyor.
Okay. Speaking about Snowonia. That's okay. Speaking about Snowonia, they're launching a new version.

All right.
Next. Next is this one which is uh at Perry Local Game. So you say Phoenix Horizon, that's actually part of their games. They brought up all this year which is sold out. in this at the last day when I saw them, they had only pre-orders. So,

Mhm. And that is another game. You have better eyes. [clears throat]
Olympus.
Thank you. And this is really There it is. [gasps] And this is really cute because the edge of the board is kind of like like this like mouse mat. You can just replace it. It's like depending on the stage of the game. It's very cute. Um, and this is uh rolling in wonderland. I just thought it was family level family level dice drafting.
See there's also your Mad Hatter somewhere. This is not Mad Hatter.
That's a fairly mad hat.
Great hat. This is um I'm at Captain Games booth and this year they have Map Masters. Yes.

Mhm.
And this is super tasty. So I had meet and play and I was shown that this delicious game food game.
Yep.
Not from Delicious Games.
No no no. But it's called Super Tastic. Oh, this is it. This is what happened in the back again in Captain Games proof,
right? Well, that's pretty cool. That's up there with um someone in a bathtub full of rubber ducks,
except that you can't be in the bathtub. In this one, you can be in the dungeon
and you are the ducks this time.
Yeah, I know. Technically geese, but you can add some stuff on you.
Yeah.
Yes. Look at expression. I love it. I look like I was like, "Yeah, that looks really good." And then she added one beard at um her husband's face and I edited that next. So this is still in meet and play and I found them and they're really lovely. They have YouTube channel as well.

Uh there's like um Maxine and the other people there Peter and Mac and Ivan on the right hand side and a few others and Paul Broen taken very abruptly and he said delete but I didn't delete. I'm sorry, Paul. It was cute. Like, and this is the raffle, the traditional raffle. At the end of the night, there's like publishers donating some games and bags.
Yes, everyone loves the bags.
Everyone loves the bag. I I have a feeling next year people going to donate more bags.
I think it's just a long-standing in joke.
Yes. To

And this is like when it gets fuller.
And this is Ivan and Dom. This is at one of the days world.
Yes. And we took this photo and then we decide, hey, let's show what we are wearing our t-shirts. So
there's one born to be gig and Freddy Hawks with cactus and nature. So doies from obviously Nstar game studio that brought out nature and this is mythologies. This is upcoming games from Super Meo. Obviously all these photos that I show you I have the permission to show you.
Nothing is in except for the Paul Groen one.
Next sh I'm not going to tell Paul about this video. Somebody will but that's okay. I'm [clears throat] sure Paul will forgive me. Mythologies is coming up. It's a card drafting and tableau building game. So, there's about like 10 different factions and each faction has got different powers and they kind of like play in synergy and that you build it in your tableau 8 actually in your tableau and then they that's how you score points as well by drafting the games. Speaking about card drafting card tableau, off topic, parent is designing a secret game. It's doing well. It's the third attempt. Is it the third attempt?
The third attempt.
Um,
what are you looking at? It's not there.
It was there before.
Oh, okay. It's not on good tail. What are you looking at?
It's uh I don't know where it is now.
Anyways, we'll see how it goes.
Yeah,
it's promising. It's got more potential this time.
So,
yes, it's qu. It's quick.
It's quick. And the working title is
doesn't have one.
Yes, it does. Maple University business card game.
That was the plan. No, there was another game. It's called City.
It has no working title.
You told me it's city. I was like, what? What kind of name is that? I I didn't agree with City.
Yeah, that's why it's not the working title.
Okay, fine. Catapult feud. So, um we love Capude. just like kind of like release your inner inner child game where you just knock over other people's castles.
Mhm.
Not physically, but by balls. With balls.
Yes. Yes. It's a dexterity destruction game.
Yes. So, this is Flam Forge. This is the upcoming game from the Dwars like winter, summer, autumn. Yeah.
So, we're not not going into autumn, but it is a No. Which which one isn't there? probably summer because look how hot it is like all fire around it
yeah they haven't done
anyways
I can't remember which done
so Olifa I saw some people's got Oliver but they mentioned that the stocks maybe most of the stocks
they uh unfortunately didn't arrive in time which is so sad
yes
this is a great game
it's a shame because we both really enjoy this game we do uh we had a copy before Essen
yes
an antique
as well recommend
yep and antics which is which didn't arrive in time which is very sad
and this is casual like oh Ian how you going like everyone is like like a a fly to a food like like Ian I'm like I managed to hey quick selfie sorry everybody sorry everybody's like the lines like no not probably it was like wait talking to somebody or a few people that is just like drooling over Ian like who doesn't right anyways a quick start with Ian uh we usually see Ian at Australian convention like playcon Yes.
Uh these two are the the ones are drooling over Ian. Uh Griffony, this is by Lud Magnus Games was on Kickstarter right now when we record this. Look at the components. How cute they are. It's like Euro games. They have some mini games, but this one has got more Euro vibe.
It has the oxen carrying a cart, which is very I like that board. I like it too.
We're the same. High five. Thank you. So, this is game and then tag team. So, the game that we've Look at my my my business card on the corner there.
Yeah.
So, tag team is by Scorpion Mask. I managed to play this.
I forgot to bring this here as well, didn't I?
Yes. But that's from Gem Con.
Oh, okay.
Not from Essence. Right.
Okay. I am absolved of all sins including forging ghost
wait after this video.
You're not free yet.
So attack team. This is like growing on us. We play one and it's really quick. It's basically a dual game. Now if you play wizard cup
wizard cup is it?
Yes.
Yeah. Wizard cup. So this is so each player has got two characters which is a lot of combination you can do and a lot of synergy between the two characters. the first player that KO one character for the opponent wins. It's a two-player game.
And the unique thing is about it, it's it's very quick because you get two cards and then next turn you just draw three from your deck which is mixed between the two characters and you slide it between um in the cards that you already have.
Yes. So you add one into the same sequence. mostly play the same sequence.
And like Wizards Cup or like a challenges, it's going to be an automatically resolving battle,
but this one hits a really good a really good level. Um because
that programming, that consistency from round to round gives you something to really uh to bite onto the strategy of how you sequence them without giving you
heaps of combinations all at once, which I always found was a couple kids. So
very sits a good place.
Very bitey game in a good way.
Yes,
it is on board game arena as well which we've started playing which is great.
Um so we can play over and over again. Thank you. Uh now this is the upcoming one in 2026. So um we had this discussion Taran about Excalibur.
Yes it's um I believe oh actually it might be it might be okay there.
Oh okay. Um because Excalibur is not in the stone on the card on the left.
Okay.
And the card the second card doesn't say Excalibur.
That's actually true. So
of course Excalibur was not the sword in the stone. They were different swords.
This is why you need to do the quiz. Anyways, so Excalibur is coming up. It's actually the actual sword you play as the Excalibur, which is cool. The second one from the left, the 2026 Sword and the Stone. It's actually in the first box.
Yeah.
Um, so this is the upcoming one which is Merlin and there's green knight. There's is that Morana or something? It looks like Morana.
Morana.
Yeah. So in that sort of like night table. Yeah.
Knight on the round table kind of like feel to it. Now, I did mention to the scorpion mask person that I would love, love, love to see this upcoming very hot character from Dungeon Craw. Okay, back again to the start of the video. Can you imagine if they have Okay, if you have listened or read the book Dungeon Craw, can you imagine if they have Kal Donut at least those two like I'm not going to say anything else if you just started already. So Kyle and Donut at least like oh my gosh that would be like amazing. So if you do like it like they've actually taken my feed well I don't know if they've taken my feedback they've written my suggestion and I will follow up. So if you can write to them like hey I love tech team can you also please do dungeon crawl cow characters they'll be likewah
I'm hoping that this Excalibur one has such classic artherian characters as the black knight who gets all his limbs cut off and the three-headed knight that argues with itself.
This kind of sounds really fun.
Yeah. Well maybe put that in that suggestion. You write yourself this time. Okay.
It's very very obscure.
And this is the f point. So it's cute because
it's a truck. They've got a truck
full of I think it's some sort of library. They always do this. They drive the truck. It's like a working truck. So they can drive the truck
in the convention hall. So this is the four point and this is upcoming on Kickstarter. And this has got um the secret objective that reminds me of dead of winter which is like cooperative or competitive. So you have your own objective, their objectives. Uh and here they are. So cooperative and selfish actually it says
okay
environmental game. Uh again this is board game heaven and then this is at the last day of fashion spill like oh let's take selfie. Um I mean and the wife and Matthew Ryan and this is another game that we play.
Yeah.
I did not do well at all.
This is not from Oink Games. This is
a game that has the word oink.
This is like this is party game that is really really really hard.
Okay. That's a pink owl that says oink. That's confusing.
So some of them look similar like the cat and the owl looks similar. If you look at the if it's has got the same picture you have to voice what it sounds. If you had the um same noise and you have to say the animal, it's really like mind twisting. I was like it was really late at night and it did not do well.
This is Mongoose. This is a puzzle deduction game which is really fun. It's like has got hannabi kind of like mechanic like you don't see your card. You need to figure out what your card your two cards are and other people can deduce it for you and something like that while getting information for themselves.
Yeah. Um, and then this collector is the other one that I play with Candace that night. Look, there's fantasy brewery in the corner.
Yes,
people do get it. Yay. Uh, and this is like last day. So, I told Ivan, Ivan, let's you always like crouch down when you take photo. Let's just not crouch him. Let's just like just stand tall. And then he stand like actually no crouch down. He was very tall. Um, and this is the game. I think this is all the game. that I think that is because I see some of those in front of us.
Thank you. So, there's the Fearless on the top left, the little card game from Twof FPel.
And there are some oint games on the top there. And then there's Heculus game. Um, do you have it? No, I shipped it. Mustache, which I have. Um, let's show the games now. Might as well show the games. I don't know if there's anything else after that. Oh yes, there's Andy. I'll just quickly go through the light festival at Essen Spiel, which is at
the light festival was still on, was it?
Yeah, they almost cancelled it because of the like strong wind, but I think at the end they have it. And my favorite don you had nothing on strong winds. I know.
While you were there, we actually had a uh a small it's very rare in in Melbourne, Australia, but we had a small tornado close to us.
No area. Literally the line is like here and our house is like here. So lucky
it didn't uh it was it was a small one. It um destroyed sheds and fences and pulled roof tiles off, but it didn't uh
it didn't knock houses apart. So
did it pull any of our roof tiles?
We have tin.
Did it pull any of our tin roofs?
No.
That's good. And then the water is like this much.
There's a lot of came with heavy heavy rain
rather than say centimeters and then which I had to convert to inches. This much?
Yes.
Is it this much? This much?
Somewhere with that.
Okay.
Sorry everyone. We have uh degraded to talking about the weather.
I'm sorry. Yes. All right.
House
like no one else like no other topics like let's talk about the weathering in the lifting. Nice weather
in the ghost lift.
Yes. The ghost. So this is like donor house kebab which is one uh one of my favorite restaurants. The other one is
the bakeries. [clears throat] the day. I can't I can never say it. This is the other one which is really fun.
And we still play uh was the ice makes fox and then we play ghostly with them.
And then this is your parent. I took it at the airport.
That's the incorrectly spelled version that I've seen people try to transcribe my name from one line to the other and drop the C and end up with that incorrect spelling.
That's correct. Speaking about like automatic translations, like mele university is like Neple University. Like how rude, right?
They don't know what mele is. Uh oh, this is it. Why is it not on order in order? Look, look, look, look. This is like meant to be there. This is like the night when we play games as well.
And that's it. That's the end. Okay, let's get back to the games.
Yes, let's look at some of the games. So, uh among the games that we have, uh that have come to us. So, we've got Verso
Play Six Players.
Yeah. So, this is like a card sliding uh card drafting game.
So, fun.
A carnivore did it.
A cooperative puzzle deduction game.
I like this title.
Yes, I know. And I think you're going to like the game as well.
Mustache.
This is a trick tacky game that plays team as well.
Mhm.
Which is cool, right?
Underwater city expansion.
Yes. The data era expansion. So I think Underwater Cities must be 10 years on now. So this will be the uh second major expansion there.
And you see in the photo I actually have two of two different games which is um I'm bringing it for somebody special.
Yes.
Let's just say that.
Yeah.
Ants.
Ants. So this one from Cranio. Uh same art/ universe as Rats of Wor. Looks very similar to it. I think it looks really fun and I think it is going to be fun and there's slight polyomino but it's really really easy polyomino style thing.
Yes, this is the Lord of the Rings with dual middle duel for middle earth allies.
Yes, I believe the first expansion to the uh to the big hit from last year, Lord of the Rings duel.
Yes. Um I always like conflicted in this sort of like game like if I want to open it means that I want to wreck the bag if I'm not going to open it then it's my loss like then I don't I don't get to see and play. So my friend um he's so lovely. So Previs aka Chataloon from He Who Fights with Monsters has got one of these cards and then so he gave me two. One is for opening the other one is for keeping. So with his signature, thank you brothers.
That's fluffy pee.
Fluffy pee.
Fluffy pad. And then this is our porter. And then with personal note on the side from Zoe from Icemax. Really lovely.
Mhm.
Um we have that one already.
Show those. Yes.
We've got the swamp.

Yes. Can you spare 3 hours and 15 minutes?
Of course. For setting

anytime for setting.
And this is another oink game. I think probably the only the only games that made it home with me.
The other one on their way.
Yes, we have a couple of games here from Sashi and Sashi. The Great Evening Banquet and Shall We Dance.
Yes, they are.
These are in a very uh
high society vibes.
Yes. This year's release and seems to be a fun game.

Fun games I should say. The Leno. This is from Sit Down Games
and this seems to be um very cute. I'm going to show you the back. See? See? See? Very cute. Sorry. See? Very cute.
Little tile placement uh puzzles there.
Oh, it's upside down. And this is the game that I picked up because somebody mentioned it at SN. This is good to ask people, hey, what you want to get? And then ask them at day one or day zero and then you still have time to get them.
Yes. Railway boom.
So that's one tip for myself. Ask people. So this like this seems to be always line to get this game and I managed to get one and this is like combination from Arklike games and Cranial Creations. So I got it from Cranial Creation for this one. I think you're going to like this one because it's got railway and it looks cute and Japanese.
I know. And then this one is forestry. If I can get to it. [groaning]
It's heavy. No, it's not heavy. So, another one of the big hits of the convention. There was a lot of buzz around this one for Pink Triador.
Yes.
Forestry.
Tada. I think you're going to like this one. I think we're going to like this one, Taran, cuz I'm I can't um All right. There's another game that I wanted to get from them, which is called Pilgrim. And I know that I have limited capac capacity to bring back games. So, I had to drop that. And then the and the designer. Oh, and then somebody in the in the boot say, "Oh, do you want 12 program?" And I was like, "Are you the designer?" Like, "Yes, I'm so sorry. [snorts] I can't bring it home."
Yeah, I can't bring it home. I'm sorry.
