GTS 2009 Vendor Update: Fury from One 3 Productions

“Fury” is a combat board game I encountered at GTS 2009.

I also enjoyed the game [...]

Best of Show for GTS 2009: Exillis

GTS 2009 had many exciting games, but there is only one that deserves the title, “Best of Show.” Best of show is not necessarily the biggest release or the one with the best marketing budget. The “Best of Show” title is reserved for a release that is both unusual in design, fun to play or [...]

I am heading home this afternoon and promise to post something tonight, but I will be liveblogging the Wizards of the Coast “Dungeons and Dragons” presentation in about an hour, so be on the lookout for that. I anticipate it going up around 12 [...]

GAMA Trade Show–I Am Attending, Tell Me What I Should Blog About?

GAMA, The Game Manufacturers Association’s annual trade show (GTS) starts on April 14th-17th 2009. This is the primary trade show for publishers to show their new games to retailers and “earn” some shelf space.
I am attending on the 14th and 15th, so my question to my readers is; what should I blog about at the [...]
