Wow. 2016 is going to be heavy on that leathery thing that holds my money and these are the prime suspects in alphabetical order:
Nuno Bizarro Sentieiro and Paulo Soledade are on my radar. After a wonderful game like Nippon in 2015, anything these guys are doing is a must buy for me. This will probably another medium-heavy euro game from What's Your Game? that will join their ongoing line.
Also, look at that amazing cover art!
You take Castles of Burgundy and put it in a small box I can take with me anywhere? I will have to check that out. If it's as good as the original (that doesn't have such a big box) it's a must buy. Also, as a designer, I'm eager to see how they 'reduced' the board game into a card game.
A game that combines area control with card management in a way that looks very interesting with a modular tile board and tons of replayability. There's a lot of media on this game because it exists since before 2013 and the designer is working on it since about 2007. I hope that it'll come out this year. If it does, I'm getting a copy.
The first REAL legacy from the bottom up game. Rob Daviau's design and storytelling skills combined with the development team of Plaid Hat games should yield nothing less than a masterpiece. No need to say more, just get me a copy will ya?
Look at Vinhos, that is for me Vital Lacerda's best game, and then look at this game. I love the changes that make it more streamlined. I even love the new art, and the fact that the board is not so yellow like in the original.
Two more to go, that I feel I should separate since they are computer game implementation into the board game world.
I used to play Master of Orion 2 in the late 90's and I still believe it has one of the best tech trees ever created for a game. I can't wait to see how this plays out
This computer game feels like a board game. It is good on digital and I believe it'll be great on cardboard.
I don't own many games, only around 30 right now. I am into trading games and selling games I don't play regularly. That means that I will have to play A LOT if I want to keep all the games I'm going to buy and wonder which of the games I currently own are going out.
And that's what I know now, it's only March!
Man...
