Spiel 2011 Preview Update

Spiel 2011 Preview Update
From gallery of W Eric Martin
Time for a round-up of what's been added to the Spiel 2011 Preview since the beginning of September 2011. I won't summarize every change to a game description, every addition of game's price and other such details, but rather I'll catalog the games that have been added, grouping them under their publisher and including a "Preview link" to the first listed game under each publisher.

Unpublished (preview link)
-----• A summary of what won't be at Spiel 2011, whether due to publisher delays, the publisher never intending to be at Spiel, or other circumstances.

And a few other Preview-related notes:

—When possible, I've been updating and rewriting game descriptions as I add titles to the list. Not every description is polished, but I'm getting there.

—Regarding freebies and giveaways, if the base game is being released at Spiel 2011 (as with Drum Roll), then I list promo items under the game itself; if the game debuted earlier and isn't listed on the Preview, then I include the promotional item itself (as with Airlines Europe: Flugverbot) or note it under the publisher heading.

—I still have many more games and updates to add to this list, not to mention game images, player counts, prices, booth numbers and other minutiae. Geekmail me with additions, but please understand that it takes time to work through everything, confirm details with publishers, and so on.

Feel free to Geekmail questions/suggestions or add them as comments below.
