Sorry Steve, won't be wasting time there. I'm there for the games.

Sadly, you won't be checking out Battle Beyond Space.

I am quite curious about Lupin the 3rd, the Lamborghini game, and Haunted Castle.
And the Mage Knight Board Game is probably another destination, but I'm buying that because Vlaada.

Lamborghini game? Oh...I might want that...

Definitely want to see more about Lupin III.

Whatever Space Bastards is, it better be awesome with a title like that.

Looked at BGG...if anyone wants to send me a copy of the Lamborghini game...I'm just sayin'...

It's all Murcielagos though, which is kind of disappointing. Surprised there's not a couple of models- a Reventon, a Gallardo, a Countach...but still, looks really cool.

If you think I can give you better postage than the game cie, I'm happy to oblige if I can make it work out like that.

What? BBS not available yet? Shouldn't I trust the Spielbox list?

thanks for the other suggestions.

That is probably the second best ever name for a game after Chainsaw Warrior.

Frank, you sure about Haunted Castle? Latest installment I can see is 1999 and not on SPielbox list. Give me the inside scoop!

I haven't dared look it up beforehand. It is bound to suck.

I made the mistake of looking it up on BGG and it sucks (cartoon animals in an area control game). I should have remained in blissful ignorance as nothing can live up to that title. For that reason I have refused to watch the kids tv series "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!" because that is the most awesome title for any tv series ever.

If any of you Essen visitors are lingering around Germany, come down to Koblenz for the campus party I'm organising on the 27th. Main act are the Intersphere, check out their song "Prodigy Composers". Also the reason why I won't be attending the Spiel this year.

If anybody plays a bit of mageknight, PLEASE post a minireview here on F:AT.

Oops. Haunted VILLAGE.
It is from a non-company from Russia.

Oh and the best game name ever is:
Battle for the Galaxy: Zylatron

Zev might be bringing the prototype for BBS, so at least you could give it a whirl.
