• We already recorded an overview of Aqualin from Marcello Bertocchi and KOSMOS at Spielwarenmesse 2020, but at GAMA we have a three-camera set-up that lets us do an overhead shot, which seems like a better way to present this type of game.
• Similarly, we had shot an overview of Color It! from Lena and Günter Burkhardt and HABA in Nürnberg, but the set-up at that publisher's booth during Spielwarenmesse was not ideal, so I wanted a do-over — and since I'm the one who booked the livestream schedule, I made it happen.
• Color It! is one of two roll-and-write games that HABA USA plans to release at Gen Con 2020, with the other being 5er Finden from Jürgen P. Grunau. Color It! is aimed at players as young as four, while 5er Finden is for (somewhat) older players, with everyone racing to spot patterns on their individual game board depending on what's rolled on the dice.
• Crazy Tower has four credited designers — Alexis Harvey, Félix Leblanc, Manuel-Lucas Bergeron Duhamel, and Mathieu Auger — and is for up to four players. Coincidence?! (Yes, probably.)
I demoed the game on camera with Carl from Synapses Games, and I can imagine that the four-player game would become quite intense given how quickly our two-player demo ratcheted up the tension.
• After seeing this overview of Flash 8, Christian Lemay of publisher Scorpion Masque asked whether this was the shortest overview video we ever recorded. We have had shorter ones, but I think those were teaser vids that didn't cover the gameplay. Here we cover everything you need to know in just over two minutes, thanks partly to my habit of talking possibly too quickly when recording overview videos...
