Re: Essen Spiel 2006 report

Hi Dave,

Thanks for such a great report, and you have definitely made me
envious. Next year I'm definitely going so if you do plan to go again
give me a shout.

Antike the new edition does have some improved components, was
considering upgrading my version but decided not to at the moment.
It's a game that I think will be reprinted a few times.

Now Imperial is a game I am desperate to have a go at like Indonesia
so you have to bring it along to the club sometime soon. Have you had
a chance since your report to play it? and any opinions ?, have you
seen the downloadable Historical Data Sheet? Very nice touch.

Gloria Mundi looks to be interesting but I'm not sure it has my name
on the box at this time, although I could be persuaded, what the
component quality like Dave? And have you played?

Ra is a superb auction game that works very well with 3 players and
more, the element of bidding with set numbered tablets and acquiring
a bidding tablet in return adds a very subtle element of strategy to
the mechanics. In my opinion one of the better Reiner Knizia games.

See you at the club, with Space Dealer and Imperial ……..

Thanks for the report,

George Y
