SPIEL 2016 VI: Codenames: Pictures, Adrenaline, Alchemists: The King's Golem, Lorenzo il Magnifico, & Martians: A Story of Civilization

SPIEL 2016 VI: Codenames: Pictures, Adrenaline, Alchemists: The King's Golem, Lorenzo il Magnifico, & Martians: A Story of Civilization
 
• We've already featured Czech Games Edition's Codenames: Pictures in this space a number of times, but when designer Vlaada Chvátil from Czech Games Edition is coming to your booth at SPIEL 2016 to talk about the game, you set aside a few minutes to host him — and here he is!





 
• CGE also presented Filip Neduk's Adrenaline, a first-person shooter that plays completely like a Eurogame — except for all the shooting.





Board Game: Alchemists: The King's Golem
• Alchemists: The King's Golem from Matúš Kotry and CGE gives you four new parts to mix and match for the Alchemists base game, with some bits providing simple variety and the final part, "The Golem Project", challenging you to bring a clay creature to life.





Board Game: Lorenzo il Magnifico
• "Whoever hasn't prayed enough will suffer hard penalties." That's one of the promises presented to players of Lorenzo il Magnifico, a worker placement game from designers Flaminia Brasini, Virginio Gigli, and Simone Luciani and publisher Cranio Creations set during the Italian Renaissance.





Board Game: Martians: A Story of Civilization
• Martians: A Story of Civilization from Grzegorz Okliński, Krzysztof Wolicki, and REDIMP GAMES was the other Mars game at SPIEL 2016, Terraforming Mars being the first, of course. (Yes, a third Mars game was also at the fair, but I didn't see or hear much of it.) No matter which way you choose to play the game — and you have four choices available to you — the game is all about surviving and building a better future for all who occupy the red planet both now and in the years ahead.
