BGB Podcast #88 – Essen SPIEL 2019 Preview

by · Published · Updated

Essen! Deutschland! Zimmer sechshundert und sechs!

Hello again, Germany! Well, we don’t actually ever go to Essen, but boy do we wish we could. There are always so many games that debut at Essen SPIEL that we wish we could play or buy … and this year is no exception! We’re counting down the games we would most anticipate getting our hands on if it weren’t so goshdarn far. Before we cast our minds across the Atlantic, we also talk about Irish Gauge, Heroes of Terrinoth, and Tapestry.
