Oui, dans certains cas, il suffit de réessayer en mettant en pratique ce que l'on a appris lors de la première tentative. On en a eu quelques-uns auxquels on est revenus plus tard, quand on avait des personnages différents qui étaient plus adaptés ( on est un groupe de 3).

Ah, on a pris un autre chemin - heureusement, semble-t-il ! Mais les points indiquent seulement à quel point c'est compliqué, pas à quel point c'est difficile. Bonne chance pour la prochaine tentative !

Orloj last night. The set up and teach might seem a touch intimidating but the actual game flows quite nicely and intuitively - some big action chains but most were pretty manageable. Minor quibble: the clock is already built, you're only doing the decoration. #boardgames #j2s #brettspiele #spiel25

If you play this at Essen, tell us about it!!!! | Blood Rage: Valhalla So, I played the same game with the prototype at Essen with Ivan. Not sure what exactly has already been revealed, but here’s a what I hope is fairly comprehensive run of what differences I noticed wi...

Posted a breakdown on BGG of changes I observed in the prototype of Blood Rage: Valhalla I played at Essen Spiel

The U-Bahn steambath wasn't good enough for you?🤪

Thanks to a friendly Dutch contingent who had a spare space in their reservation, was able to try out The Presence. Moving around a haunted house with an ambiguously friendly/wrathful spirit. Very nice feel and good pressure to not waste actions. #spiel25

Played a few rounds of Bohemians, a nice, fairly simple but interesting card game. Mostly cosy except for the jobs and hardship cards which really don't pull their punches about the life of a struggling artist. Picked up a copy myself. #spiel25

Sold out at Essen Spiel 2025 The goal of this list is not to increase the hype, but rather save each other valuable time at the fair. Please help me keep this up to date, be fair and extra cautious not to spread misinformation....

People sharing info on sold out games here: boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/360...

Check carefully though, some only sold out in a specific language or in Ghost Lift's case, they said they will have some more copies today (but not many!)

Also had time for a full game of Leylines, also from @arcanewonders.bsky.social. Cute update of an older pick-up and delivery game.

Missed taking a picture of the 4 car pile up a couple of turns earlier... that's an action shot of me about to smash into a wall because I rolled too well🙈

Checked out Raas: A Dance of Love from @arcanewonders.bsky.social colourful game of trying to assemble sets and advancing tracks to increase multipliers. Or pick up a juicy bonus from dials with adjacent die with the same number or colour. #spiel25

Had a quick round of the new Joyride expansion. Definitely needs as many players as you can get for maximum chaos. Think I prefer it to Heat. #spiel25

If you wanted a copy of Freya's Swamp, based on how busy it is already, then all I can say is: good luck! #spiel25

And we're off! Well, in the waiting pen after a brief steam bath in the packed U-Bahn #spiel2025

Well, had wanted to set this up before now. But hey, still before SPIEL Essen at least!
