I have often bemoaned the dryness of many modern games. Somebody on the web wrote "boardgames are just math made fun", and I answered that many boardgames are math made not fun. In such games, scores are no longer a reward for good play, but the entire games just consist of calculations. (1/X)

This is how we did it.

Another 2p trick-taker I got in Essen: Kota Konno's Bubble Gum. The loser of each trick gets improve their hand, the winner scores points, trying to get as close to the limit of 14 as possible without busting. Not bad.

Two plays of Arthur Lacerda's 18 card microgame Pipoca yesterday. A tense duel that does not need a table. Struggle between improving your hand (flipping and turning your cards) and stopping your opponent. Brought home from #essenspiel. We found it fun and engaging.

Played Recreo Arcano by Martin Oddino yesterday. An engaging tug of war between two players or two teams. I quite enjoyed it.

50+4: 50 years and four months after Wabanti was first published, Reinhold Wittig released some giant sets with 54mm nuts. Beautiful!

Played Onitama with Reinhold Wittig's self-made copy today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/16... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com
It was a treat. So much nicer than the plastic miniatures!

Played High 7 2 times today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com
A long forgotten game: High 7 by Reinhold Wittig. My first plays since 2010, and I still enjoyed it.

Played Café Express today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com
Finally got to play Café Express, and I am quite impressed. Colt Express meets Onitama. One player plays the law, defending the last three coffee beans on earth, the other needs to steal them.

Played Bable on 2024-11-15 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.bsky.social
My favorite game from Essen so far. An absolutely breathtaking finish for our first win at 5 players (photo is from an older play).

Mal Werbung in eigener Sache: Wir haben gerade sehr viel Spaß mit dem Vorabmuster von Krakel-Orakel von den 7 Bazis, das im September bei uns im frechverlag rauskommen soll. Ein kooperatives Zeichenspiel für alle, die nicht zeichnen können.

Das Beeple-Netzwerk macht wieder eine Osterauktion für einen guten Zweck. Wer noch Spiele braucht oder gern mal ein unter anderem von Alex Randolph signiertes Buch haben möchte, sollte mal vorbeischauen.

Hier ist der vierte und abschließende Teil meines Reiseberichts. Ich bin wirklich dankbar, dass ich das machen konnte. Spielen verbindet Menschen, auch über Kontinente hinweg.
