Thurs 2008 A world of sad 
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.
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.
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.
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 .
