Russ MorrisseyHOST
47:54
So this is some of the main conventions.
Russ MorrisseyHOST
47:58
We've got GenCon, UK Games Expo, Tabletop Scotland, Dragon Meat, Origins, Pax Unplugged, and Spiel Essen and their policies.
Russ MorrisseyHOST
48:06
And I divided it into two, on the trade floor and in other things, because some of them were like banning it in the art show, but there's no policy on the trade floor.
Russ MorrisseyHOST
48:15
So
Russ MorrisseyHOST
48:48
Pax Unplugged, they've got no policy for the trade floor, but it is banned in sort of Pax's programs and events.
Russ MorrisseyHOST
48:54
So that's things like archos and stuff like that.
Russ MorrisseyHOST
48:58
And Spiel Essen, no policy whatsoever.
Peter CoffeyHOST
49:01
It feels like an exercise.
RobHOST
71:35
I'm pretty sure.
RobHOST
71:36
This is being put out by Hall Games or Pegasus Spiel.
RobHOST
71:40
Probably there is Hall Games.
RobHOST
71:43
So I don't know much about it other than that.
ChrisHOST
2:45
And we're going to talk about all those other really cool stuff because it is the season.
ChrisHOST
2:49
Eschen Spiel is coming up.
ChrisHOST
2:51
So, obviously, we're looking at another huge slate of games coming up.
ChrisHOST
2:55
And we'll talk more about that when that comes up.
ChrisHOST
2:58
But who knows? Maybe the new Spiel des Jahres winners or maybe some game that comes out from there might actually be huge and change the industry moving forward.
ChrisHOST
3:08
So we got a lot of fun stuff to talk about.
ChrisHOST
3:09
Before we get into that, Tim, let's get into the thing that everybody wants to know about.
JanisHOST
18:02
So, a little bit of the background.
JanisHOST
18:04
We, each year, make most anticipated board games for Essen Spiel.
JanisHOST
18:08
So, we basically do a top, and we want to do two tops, and we will probably do two tops in each channel.
JanisHOST
18:15
So, basically, the board games we're most excited to see at Essen.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
33:43
So I'm hoping that happens.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
33:45
This will coincide a little bit with Essen Spiel, the big game convention happening in Germany every year.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
33:51
We are We don't normally necessarily plan around conventions, but we asked Andrew and Dan if they wanted to go to Essen Spiel.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
34:01
And so we kind of sponsored their trip so that both of them are going with, I believe both of them with their wives are going to Essen.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
34:07
And so they'll be there at our booth to talk about the game, to share it, to sign the game.
EricHOST
16:14
And I know that I at least bought a ton of stuff there because it was just so much fun stuff.
StellaHOST
16:18
yeah yeah on both topics so wandering inns i feel like i'm just slightly frustrated at the start because i mean the main character is just so bad but i guess if the main character is very good already there's nothing to grow you know and then the story is not that interesting because there's also this like feeling of okay wanting the i mean this different type obviously of books but this is this type where okay it's relatable it's not that very good it's just an ordinary people like us type of thing um with gen con i was thinking actually was not going to go again next year but i had a good time so i will come back to gen con um so one american convention and one well UK I think I'd like to come back to UKGE and upcoming is actually Essence Spiel which is in mid to end of October I will go there and it's just the biggest board game hobby conventions in the world so hobby is the key because there are other ones as well like Nuremberg is way bigger or something I haven't been
EricHOST
17:29
is that a toy fair?
StellaHOST
17:32
I think so yes yeah
StellaHOST
18:08
Okay, fair.
StellaHOST
18:09
I heard from a friend who went there, a board game publisher, and I don't think, I haven't been because I didn't think that there was, yeah, as Eric said, it's more mass market, which is not really what we do, more hobby gamers.
StellaHOST
18:26
So yeah, Essence Spiel, very exciting.
StellaHOST
18:28
I'm going to come earlier.
Phil GardnerHOST
1:49

Davey BoydHOST
1:52
I'm not going to Essendon Spiel this year.
Davey BoydHOST
1:55
Is that what you were heading into, or have I just spoiled your whole evening? Ruined.
Davey BoydHOST
2:02
Well, so this year, basically, in conversation with Ian and Becky, at the moment, obviously, I've got Leila, who's under one, and Becky didn't feel comfortable with me going for more than one day.
