Thanks for watching!

We hope you enjoy this week’s video, which is an elongated and trundling trip through MOST of the games that we played at this year’s Essen! This is a chunky video in a loose, chatty format – we do hope you enjoy it as something a little bit different!

Games! Games! Games! It’s the small ones that usually slip through the cracks, so Tom’s back with another roundup of recent favourites!
Joraku and Bottle Imp fill the trick-taking quota for the video, whilst Naishi and Iliad present a bit of two-player tension. Bean Counters Inc is also there, because he’s a goofy guy and we love him.
