Hi! Julien Chaput here, one of Ironwood's designers. Maël Brunet and I will also attend Essen this year and we'll do some demo, signing and chat at Mindclash Games booth during the weekend. Hopefully see you there!
@Julien_Game_Design Hi, it would be great to meet you and play a game with you both. Are you able to email us on boxedmeeples@gmail.com to arrange a meeting? As you can tell, very excited about your game and we know with Mindclash the production will be amazing!
Tir Na Nog is super fun! Don't miss it! I said in in the other video and im going to say it here too - if you like 2-player trick-taking games with a dash of Hanamikoji, run to booth 2-E330 and grab a copy of Lone Wolves!!!
Ooh that one was technically number 11, on Libby's list. It was the last one to not make the final 10. Looks great and with wolves definitely a fun theme. Definitely on our Essen halls plan to check out 😀
So. Interesting. I love your list. Many of those almost made my list I posted on Julian's video. There were however a few games I didn't include because they are demo-only in Essen. Those were Nature, Behemoth: Rise of Shadow, Luthier, Cats and Dragons, and - most importantly - Wandering Galaxy and Speakeasy with the latter one being one of my most anticipated games of 2025 already.
As you can tell I did not filter out the demo only. I hope to be able to sit and play at the expo, it will be interesting to see how many of those demos do make it to our 2025 anticipated list!
We did not include Luthier in the list as we have already covered the game on the channel and Julian will be at the Paverson stand on the Friday of the show. As we mentioned in Julian's video games like Shackleton Base and Andromedas Edge are also not on these lists as we have copies of those too, so will do content on those when we can.
@@BoxedMeeples To be honest... I don't know much myself 😂 I only know it's by Randy Flynn with art by Edu Valls and the cover art is really pretty 😂 I think there is some fighting between cats and dragons going on with secret troup deployment. And you can ask some "big cats" for help. And I think I read something about tile laying as well.
@@BoxedMeeples Ah yes it was Paverson. For some reason - I really don't know why - I thought it was Van Ryder. By the way I should get my work schedule next week so we could like talk about some possible times to meet if you'd still like to 😊 Maybe we could include Phil in that talk as well but I would also meet you seperately if we can't figure out a time that fits everyone. I'm getting SO excited for Essen. I am literally counting the hours now.
