The International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany this year from 04 - 09 February, the New Spring. We have presented us, and in the following report will give a brief overview of the news. Some images are contained in the article on our Facebook page you will find the complete album of our impressions.

Abacusspiele

Charly

Here stands this spring, rather the family and the younger players in the foreground. In City Velo cycling team, the players are trying to bring her first to the finish. This Gullideckel should be avoided and used as many energy drinks. The game is controlled by different mechanisms, simple cube.

In Zooloretto Mini is the travel option for the game of 2007. The Grundmeschanismen remain preserved. Only the different pen sizes and monetary operations account. The novelty card game named Charley. This is about his animal cards as possible be designed so that they can be supplied with the booklet for food. Animals, which could not be construed to be fed with the Spielervorat of honey drops. It loses whom first run out of honey.

Amigo

Hunter-gatherers

The new board game dubbed the behavior of many games friends "hunter-gatherers." Thematically, is about to bring his tribe through the summer and winter, must be collected while fruits and hunted mammoths are. The parts are collected by Skip. In the card games is a new edition of liar (Hypocrite), a classic card game storage (R-eco) and Takes with 11! A new rung in the product family.

Also for party goers should be exercised with Quelfes a novelty. Here the players have to call on a given theme ideas. When failure stiff penalties (eg ice threatens in clothes, ...).

Asmodee

pix

Here, at a variety of novelties and games planned for 2010 showed. Mixmo is a dynamic word game, similar to the food novelty Banana Grams. However, here stands the material. The "Z" and "N" by marking the stones can not be mistaken, and by "issues stones and Joker comes into play with a little whistle.

Pix is a different game characters. This is not painted with pencils, but with pixels. These highlighted by small black squares, dots are placed on a board with a grid. In Tadaaam! Is the Neuaflage of the game "Monster Painter. Here, have two players each draw a concept, but everyone can draw only one half without seeing the other half. He does this, that while the pen in hand, or even the elbows must be kept. But also educational games like Folix that a combination of memory and learning of the 1 × 1 features are among the novelties.

Days of Wonder

Mystery Express

Based on the novel "Murder on the Orient Express" comes from the novelty Mystery Shipping. This is a Deduktionsspiel similar to "The Mystery of the Abbey. However, few runs here, unlike in the known templates. The evidence, such as "perpetrators", "crime scene", etc., are no longer as clear card in circulation, but even up to three times. This means that information can not be closed immediately seen from a map. The end of the game is different from the models tied to a time limit. So it is not who wins first all white, but who knows after a certain time the most.

Hans in Luck

Pig gang

Here were presented as in past years, two new products. It is aimed more at Titania and strategy Vielspieler friends. The game ties pig is a beautifully illustrated, family-safe collection game. It tries to collect as many animals on a grid in order to convert them then by the formation of lines or dots in quartets.

Even for the two workhorses of the publishing house was new bids. The expansion Carcassonne - bridges, forts and bazaars, offering new opportunities to pursue roads (bridges) to engage in cities where it has no effect) (Castles and brings the sale of chips as a new element (into the game bazaars). After the "catapult" is this extension targeted again serious and could enrich the game, we shall see. Unfortunately, the alchemical secrets were preserved, and we were able to cast a look at new maps of the extension of Dominion - Alchemy.

Heidelberger Spiele Verlag

Psychometer

Also in Heidelberg, we were able to examine some novelties. Runewars is the new fantasy strategy game made by Fantasy Flight. Players take on a people and try in the world of Descent / Runebound gain the supremacy. This is an epic game with some new elements. But even for light entertainment is provided.

At Pony Express is a gamble with dice, trying to umzukegeln Indians and shoot the enemy. A great fun for the whole family. Anyone who has ever wanted to know once what others think of one who is on psychometer correct. This needs to be assessed with a numerical value from 0-5, how an alleged property applies to an opponent. Anyone who has bet on the average of all values, get points. This, however, like being thrown into the background, because more important is the question: Why do you think of me aggressive? I'M NOT AGGRESSIVE!!

Cosmos

Catan Anniversary Edition

The Birthday of the Settlers of Catan is clearly the center of the publications in the Kosmos-Verlag. In addition to the new edition of the basic game, a new expansion and redesign of the card game, a noble anniversary edition comes on the market. But the rest of the program does not have to hide. In addition to licensing - issues like Twilight or Shaun the Sheep are also new titles such as Keltis - The Oracle, or the horse racing head to head on the market. In addition to classics such as Lost Cities in the refined version to appear in the tin can.

Pegasus

Revolution

Is there at Pegasus, the revolution of the gaming market? Probably not before, but the game revolution offers an exciting mix of majority game, action planning and a secret auction mechanism with 3 currencies.

In Don Quixote, the players place their chips to minimize the need to distribute a profit on their Teblau. However, the field is always set, so you have to adapt constantly to new situations. The secret, however, could be the game The Adventurer - The Temple of Chac. This is in English, published at AEG game basically Iniana Jones in a box.

Queen Games

Fresco

The Alhambra family gets a new shoot. However, it is in New York just to the American twin of the base game Alhambra. In Samarkand, the players use their influence to try on the silk route through the marrying into families and increase the distribution of caravans. This money serves as a point in a Aktionskonigent and victory.

In Fresco is a new composition of known elements. Behind a screen actions are secret plans, and thus collected money and colors, which can then use on the ceiling fresco. Very nice thing is that now accompany the game 3 expansion modules. Even if the mechanisms are known, this game looks very interesting. Even for friends of dice is Shit Happens contain a simple and funny game illustrated in the portfolio.

Ravensburger

Schlag den Raab - The Game

The land reclamation - Game "Sealand" is gone before the Toy Fair at the market and had, when we were there, rather little attention. So much more was going on at the booth of "Schlag den Raab" - the game that can be clearly classified into the category of party games. We have not seen all 30 disciplines of games, but we can imagine that something like "Where is what" or "egg and spoon race could provide for plenty of fun.

In "Shame or Cash" But we asked ourselves how that should go in pairs, because the collection is designed from 2 players. Ideal are probably 3 parties: a moderator and two opponents, who could also be teams.

RioGrande Games

Dominion Extensions

The American publisher RioGrande Games had two boxes of the two extensions Dominion Alchemy and Prosperity on the shelf. We took the bold colors and are eager to be good for something, the new cards. Unfortunately, they remained hidden from us here. The boxes were completely empty.

RioGrande met with several other German publishers like "Lucky Hans Abacusspiele and license agreements for games that appear on the German market.

Ystari

Asteroyds

On a racetrack can drive each. In Asteroyds provide the players a race in an asteroid field. These actions are within a short planning phase, a la Robo Rally planned.

It then examines whether the planning was erfplgreich, or whether a player on the moving asteroid smashed. There was no such thing as a video game machine times already? We are happy to remind us of the early 80s

Zoch

Heckmeck Barbecue

At this spring Zoch are clearly the children in the foreground. With Heckmeck Junior addictive principle is now also made available to our children. In Mausgeflippt the children must try to lay their hands placed on the cards with clothing. These cards may only be stored, which are found in the witty illustrations mice again.

Zozzle turn, memory and puzzle elements combined. In each pack of lies a puzzle made up of nine parts. But this 5 times. Up to 4 players must try to find the same parts in order to verfollständigen her puzzle. But also thought of the elderly has been with Heckmeck barbecue, there is a very nice new variant of the classic.

Conclusion The superhit does not exist. Also totally new mechanisms are currently not in sight, but there are many good publishers new compositions of known elements. Some things are, however, noticed particularly. The anniversary edition of Catan from the Kosmos-Verlag is an absolute treat. Settlers fans will not get past it. Even the family games (Samarkand, fresco) by Queen Games should be even more prospects. Who is looking for a child's play this spring at Zoch are looking for. The game ideas and material have become perfectly satisfied. What has impressed us most is the overall program of the Heidelberg game publisher. Here one could see from the epic strategy game Party Kracher to loose everything - Restpekt.

What in hindsight, but now really convinced, will show the year. We are very excited anyway.
