Spiel 2015 Preview: Go da Cheese!, or Organized on the Same Lines with One Face, One Side
Board Game: Get The Cheese!
Designer Hisashi Hayashi of OKAZU Brand released two games at Tokyo Game Market in May 2015 — the card game Go da Cheese! and the heavier strategy game Minerva — and I purchased both of them, figuring that those titles would be available at Spiel 2015, thereby giving me time to play them and prepare overview videos ahead of that show.

Turns out that was a good plan — except that we just received Go da Cheese! for sale in the Geek Store, which is something of a surprise as we're still one month out from Spiel 2015. What's happened to the natural order of game releases?

By chance, though, I had recorded this video the other day, and I can now look timely and efficient with coverage of this bluffing card game for 3-5 players that has you reliving Tom & Jerry cartoons in a quest for precious cheese.
