Also in Essen the Italian version of Start Player will be released.
This edition will feature some of the best cards from this game which basically makes you choose a card and read it to choose a starting player for other game (I really need this game, I’m sick of dice and summoning devils to choose the starting player). This game was designed by Ted Alspach of Board 2 Pieces fame. |
Lupusburg is a reworking of Werewolf for smaller groups. No master is needed to moderate this game which is a boon as the master usually acts more as a referee than an actual player.
From 3 to 8 players. Lupusburg will be released this winter and previewed in Essen. |
