Random question though, you pronounce your last name with a "steen" sound at the end, right? The Japanese transliteration of your name pronounces it like the German drinking vessel.

Ooh, may need to add a copy of this to our school library! I'm a science teacher at a Japanese boarding school in New York, and also, it looks like this is published by Hayakawa, who our school also has a relationship with!

If not too late, Museum of the Moving Image in Queens!

Fairly new one, mostly focused on playing games, in New Jersey in March. Think it was started by Alex Radcliffe of Board Game Co and a few others.

Any plans to go to Level Up in March?

Ooh, very nice! Very bummed to be missing it this year...

Have you seen Fantasy Map Maker? It's a PnP roll and write (physical edition hitting Kickstarter in February) that seems to be a leveled up version of Cartographers. Just discovered it this week and should have a prototype coming soon!

Not sure, but @25thcentury.games should be, and they distribute Conservas in the States!

Very curious about the new lightweight skirmish game, Little Soldiers, coming soon(?) from Iello. It's basically kids playing with army men turned into a game with rules!

I've got three for now, but am certainly feeling you on that...

Finished the game with points of 50, 60, 170 (me), and 380...!?...from the student who kept taking the gambler and nailing his bid every time...

I figured so, just a beast of setup and a huge footprint. The rulebook is also more like a technical manual, so gonna take a bit of digesting.

Too late I think, but Cat and the Tower from Arcane Wonders?
