Preparation H Waist Wrap

Essen 08 - Natasha, I love you! P & J recommends

Logo Spiele Messe Essen 2008 is a veritable tidal wave of news to which we are entitled with this post-Essen. It must then be patient to find out what actually has more (and therefore what we may have missed) and what a disappointment! Through this account of our stay, I talk about my feelings for this edition of the show and discuss some points which surprised me as the price of some games. This article therefore aims to put in writing the questions that crossed my mind during those epic days.

Firstly, just to put you in the context, know that I left with my knowledge of the play now: Jeanjean, Erwan and Thibault. The day before departure, I must confess that my internal sphincter and outside were well dilated by the excitement of the preparations: soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, and of course guide out generously offered by the fever of the game we found ourselves with some difficulty at the station North of Paris with the sole baggage "useful" a sports bag dedicated to games (special casse'dédi Erwan Decathlon for a bag), then about 5 hours later, we arrived at the friendly hostel Kolpinghaus Essen Frohnhausen . Although

slashed from the journey, we are a part of Race For The Galaxy : Storm in Training then go to bed. I do not know about you but I do not think the extension makes that much in renewal. The mini-goals (primary and secondary) are more like patches glued to the hard than a true reflection of the author. In contrast, the new cards seem to allow New strategies even if the chance did not want that night that we start with one new planet. I return to this extension in a future article.
  • nice little trick: the extension box can now store all the game cards in one box that does not 15 kilometers wide.
  • Hint more fun: you buy deckbox is much more practical to carry.
starts Wednesday on a flying since we need not less than 1:15 to walk to the lounge since our hostel. And then, the Walhalla before us: a huge hall filled with boxes of games, publishers and players! The hardest thing is to not buy from entering the living room because it is true that the price level, we see it all! My boyfriend Thibault for example, had reserved the game Ghost Stories to Rest Prod allowing for 34.9 € and have the famous goodies promised. Here where the low is that the same game is sold € 24.9 20 meters. So why, you ask? I have no answer! I do not understand people who literally robbed the stand of the 750 boxes Prod rest of the game Do you have a rational explanation to offer me? This example is valid for Ghost Stories but other new games were available cheaper in other pits as Giants , Hurry Cup ', etc.. If someone can explain this striking difference in price, I'm interested! It should be noted that the version of Ghost Stories is multilingual, there is no reason to favor a national version.

During the show, we had the joy and honor that I say lucky to cross Mr. Phal ( TricTrac.net manager) for the first time. You can not even imagine how awesome it is to type the discussion with a stranger and blagouiller with him! If all the people (in real life) were also spontaneous and fun than him, I think that many wars have been avoided. The general consensus of those present, this guy is simply awesome! This is not the only course! Antoine Bauza, rest his soul, was proved to be particularly friendly.

Oh yes, too! Mr. Phal told us about the classification FairPlay. I confess I had not paid attention to a multitude of articles on the net arose to decry the rankings. Who personally, this classification does not reflect what I enjoy and discover the show. To me, to make sure what visitors have a good time, a team of 5-6 people should furrow all halls throughout the show and list the favorites every day and not just receive their ballots in the polls. What do you think? Is it so unrealistic ?

FairPlay Speaking of rankings, I see that the game Machu Picchu is placed second. Well, I can tell you that after having tested later in the evening with a beta tester ( Lars memory) in our hostel (yes, yes, it was the beautiful world), and bah, is not the game most sex in the world. I think I will remember much longer Lars imitating the doll box set (see cover above cons).

Anyway, this year I have been quite reasonable and only came back with 10 games unlike others I did not mention . The most important being in my SATOR , Garibaldi (with reviews Gorthyn ) Gambit 7 and Red November for lighter. I will return all these games soon.

For those who were there, you saw the tail of egg 'to Le Havre ? Nan but must be really dumb to run a game that does not know anything except that its author was a hit with unprecedented Agricola ! And the traitors from Lookout Games have deliberately chosen a hall too small to create a mass effect ... When I think that part of Hall 9 was part of my favorite, I must say that we did not like necessarily the way with all these stupid people waiting their box from Le Havre.

And by the way! You noticed that the richest publishers have super pretty girls to test the games. There was of course the mega booth Pokemon, empty ... and especially the Days of Wonder booth (which means) where we could see The Sexiest Girl ever seen , I named Natasha . Wow! Super nice, trying desperately to translate the German Gambit 7 questions in English. Besides, I did a "All Pile" for the number of schools Art in Germany. You did not know there were 24 huh, I bet. Bah I do.

Like all players, an intensive jouyage purchased games will now begin to test all these new games. I'll tell you more certainly in the weeks to come.

No Sound From Speakers Denon Avr 1508

Feint The Bear

Logo pour la feinte de l'ours It's rare but I'll do it! It is also my first time but I will! I must throw myself go oup the boom, here I am naked before you ... yes! I'll write a ticket holder to the Association "Clair de Lude" that has touched my heart on a Sunday afternoon games through his coffee: The Fake Bear .
How? What? Who? Where? Wondering!? Little background on this adventure ephemeral ...


There are now over a month, I read about a Tric Trac news dealing with a new store opening on Nancy and I talked to my Aunt Nancy so she went to inquire. So far, nothing abnormal. And this is the last weekend that Jessica (a friend of passage in my life) and myself decided to visit my dear aunt. Once, around the Place Stanislas made a small trip tchoutchou in "old town" (yes, yes, a Parisian would say: "Old city "but nevermind), I propose to Jess to go test a new" boutique ".

Aunt deposited us in front of speed Fake Bear and then we return. Immediately, a young man who must be my age (mean by that it must be between 23 and 27) rushes up to us and explains how the coffee: By paying an annual fee of 7 €, I have access to all games of coffee and I enjoy any a unique invitation. Neither one, nor two, I pay my dues, and we settle on a small table. We play Cariboo , Balloon Cup, Mini Passe Trappe and En Garde . Jess does knowing Not all these games, the managers of coffee took turns to explain the rules. Digress on this point: these guys have a knack for explaining the rules as Jess's cock all at once and I can tell you that this is exceptional. No, Jess has 8 years but not 26 ...


We really had a great time and I would strongly advise Nancy players who have not yet made the leap to go and take a look because they will not be disappointed: the atmosphere is friendly premises Nikel, the fun team and there is even a booth chti drink to the thirsty people. Finally, I want to welcome the initiative of two creators of coffee. Combine their two toy libraries, open a cafe games through their association, pay rent, have a life aside, many things we can appreciate as a player:)

Cerec Blog Buying Used

Thurs 2008 A world of sad

Festival du Jeu Vidéo + Monde du Jeu Proud my ticket to the game world in 2008 that I won Gorthyn contest, I asked my knowledge they would play off for a day of madness in this show promised to be Pre-Essen. I must tell you now: I was particularly disappointed by the lack of available and new publishers present. However, it allowed me to play Corunea, the card game for gamers and just for that, I do not regret it!

For the record, know that all the little band of players that we are (ie 4) would end up before the doors of the Show on Sunday. It turned out that our friend had simply forgotten Jeanjean and the other head of cul de Erwan took a memorable cooked the day before, making it unavailable. Where do the math, there are only Thibault and me: 2 gays!
arrived shortly before 10:00, we are waiting patiently for the show opening. It should be noted that the World Fair Game (dedicated card games, board and role) spend time with this year's Festival du Jeu Video (dedicated to the game). At this point, I do not know if you noticed but it's pretty easy to caricature djeunz the 2 rooms:
  • As for video games, there is the "commuter djeunz" aged 16 years and a half that says " ouaich "and is accompanied by these friends. Personally, it scares me.
  • the other hand, the djeunz said "no friends" 31 year old who says "hiccup" and sometimes "errrkk" to speak. It is usually single and small office at first, however, in view of knowledge game, he does not hesitate to show jovial.
Bobby-Sitter Ding! Dong! The time has come to open and we enter the cave of the game with some apprehension. The first game that we test is Bobby Sitter, a play by Jean-Marc Courtil beautifully illustrated by David Revoy. Thibault and I was pleasantly surprised that we won this game buying simple, fast and very fun. The game principle is con: In turn, draw a card and depending on what you see on this one, we hurry to take the pins available on the table. It's fun, it does not take place, we took the game to find as Quickly sheep on the cards before your opponent and you can even bluff.

Well this is not all that, but it is only 8 minutes that we're here and we've already bought a game without even go around the room. 3 minutes later, done! It is relatively small, dark and has a space conference, despite its subjective, antagonizes all stands in close proximity on the vocal power emitted. Nay, and continue fouinons! The tenants of

stand Hazgaard we kindly open their arms and invite us to be part of Draco Mundis : the next game creator Dungeon Twister Christophe Boelinger. Not unlike the mechanism of its previous game, Draco Mundis innovates and takes us into the exploration of civilizations in the jungles of time Indiana Jones. I will not give you insult you by explaining the rules as they are very well explained on the site of the Little People . However, you will not escape my immediate impressions: For those who love the side "Failed" you should love! In this game, no element of chance, a good part of "Memory" from the hidden location of all our parts and a good headache every time. The illustrations are superb and allow to forward this abstract game that could have passed unnoticed if it did not benefit from this extraordinary work as an illustrator. It is thanks to the various previews that I am interested in this game, like what! For those who do not know yet, Draco Mundis will not be available at the Essen 08 but just after.

Ushin, Sarkan Elementalist Thibault and I continue our little journey in the world of the game and fall on the stand designers Corunea . We decide to let us explain the mechanisms of this card game, unorthodox, in part through a 1 against 1. In short, we embody a character from the universe Corunea, equip it with weapons, spells, special abilities, equipment and then decide what climate via auction will be preferred, which begins with the initiative and finally we fightons. After our first part, we realize that this game is very, very rich, so rich that we feel rich and wealthy as we are, we buy each a "Starter Pack" and 5 boosters. In the afternoon we go on a party in 2 cons 2 in which we are literally beamed against my little brother and knowledge which we call Ben. One possible explanation: we are bad. Unfortunately, this is not the case if you have the opportunity to test Corunea, you will see that despite the best intentions, when we have no luck at dice, it is very difficult to resist the onslaught long repetitive of his opponents.
That does not stop me from reading and rereading the rules this week and do some duels Corunea. I will return in time for this game when I'm more comfortable.

Finally, we have not really hung World Game but the 3 games mentioned above allowed us to go home happy and dream about the next big show: Essen 08. That is less than three weeks and this time, we all leave for the 4 the first 3 days.
