Board Game: Dungeon Fighter: Stormy Winds
• With the news that IELLO has picked up the [thing=102548]Dungeon Fighter[/thing] license for release on the U.S. market, let's start this round-up of game demonstration videos from Spiel 2014 with an overview of Dungeon Fighter: Stormy Winds (get it? nudge nudge), the third expansion for this game, now coming from the newly founded Horrible Games and designer Lorenzo Silva:





Board Game: Co-Mix
• Silva also launched Horrible Games with the party game Co-Mix, a design of his own in which players need to use comic panels — artwork on tiny cards — in order to create a story on the fly.





Board Game: Wir sind das Volk!
• I really should have posted this video this past Sunday, given the artistic, 25th anniversary recreation of the Berlin Wall that was set aloft that day, but alas, I wasn't on the ball in terms of co-ordinating that publication. In any case, here now is a presentation of Richard Sivél and Peer Sylvester's Wir sind das Volk!, which was published by Sivél's Histogames.





Board Game: 7 Steps
• German publisher KOSMOS publishes one nifty-looking abstract strategy game every six months, and for the latter half of 2014 that game is 7 Steps from designers Michael Kiesling and Reinhard Staupe. Looking at the box cover, I expected the game to include a multitude of tiny tokens, but the wooden chips turned out to be far larger than I thought — which is a good thing since you're building towers from them over the course of the game.





Board Game: Drecksause
• If it's time for Spiel, then it's time for a new German game featuring animals that are making a mess of themselves. You just need to ask yourself: "How will they soil themselves this time?" In Gunter Baars' Drecksause from KOSMOS, they're going to need your help, specifically a push from your broom as they're so rotund that they apparently can't move on their own.
