SPIEL '19 Game Preview: Minecraft: Builders & Biomes, or Building Blocky Buildings

SPIEL '19 Game Preview: Minecraft: Builders & Biomes, or Building Blocky Buildings
Board Game: Minecraft: Builders & Biomes
As I mentioned yesterday, we're getting into crunch time when it comes to preparing for SPIEL '19, by which I mean that my brain feels like it's getting crunched every time I think of how much I still want to do.

With that in mind, let me present an overview shot of the Minecraft: Builders & Biomes game in play:

Game over


Then invite you to check out my overview video of this Ulrich Blum design that Ravensburger will debut at SPIEL '19, then release in North America in November 2019. I'll have time post-SPIEL '19 to write up something in more detail — but whether I will or not is an open question given that I'll also have another two dozen games to write about. For now, this is what I can offer!
