Board Game: Antike II
Board Game: Concordia: Britannia / Germania
• Designer Mac Gerdts has an amazing reputation, with his lowest rated game on BGG out of nine releases being 6.99. For Spiel 2014, he brought two items to the fair, one being the Britannia & Germania expansion for the Kennerspiel des Jahres-nominated Concordia and the other being Antike II, a revamped version of his first release from 2005, Antike.

In this video recorded in the BGG booth during Spiel 2014, Gerdts presents an overview of both items in a few minutes:





Board Game: Takamatsu
• I never imagined samurai as being colorful, but the figures in Martin Schlegel's Takamatsu from Mücke Spiele have a good look to them and certainly make the case for Benetton-inspired outfits for those who are considering a career as a samurai.





Board Game: Lunte
• Bruce Whitehill's Lunte from Mücke Spiele puts players in the role of bomb throwers who want to collect lots of fuse cards during play, presumably so that they have sufficient time to get away from the scene of the explosion in order to save their own hides!





Board Game: Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age
• Tom Lehmann's Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age from Gryphon Games builds on Matt Leacock's RTTA: The Bronze Age, transforming the game system to a new era and new lands.





Board Game: Dawn: Rise of the Occulites
• Typically you see a game's cover image on BGG or a publisher's website, then realize only later when you finally see the game that you thought the box was far larger because of all the detail that you could see in the image. Such is not the case with Dawn: Rise of the Occulites from designer Ben Boersma, Darwin Games and Eagle Games, which comes in one of the largest boxes that I've seen. It's not Planet Steam-size, mind you, but it's not far off.
