Board Game: Onirim (Second Edition)
• It's time for another round-up of game demonstration videos shot at Spiel 2014, leading off this time with a looong video of me speaking with Shadi Torbey, designer of Onirim. Thanks to a press copy of the second edition of Onirim, I was able to try out the game on the flight to Essen in order to prepare for the interview, and if you ever want a game that accommodates your desire for blurry photos shot with poor lighting — I mean, your desire for games that fit on an airplane tray, Onirim fits the bill.

3 a.m. game time for those who can't sleep

I don't know whether Torbey was expecting me to shoot questions at him for twenty minutes, but I thank him for being so accommodating and I look forward to the next titles in the Oniverse series.





Board Game: Mat Goceng
• Indonesian publisher Manikmaya Games was a first-time attendee at Spiel, so naturally it was placed in the most obscure location available: Hall 4, which was something of a dead zone in terms of traffic as I'm not sure how many people even knew that Hall 4 was open, but at the same time it was thankfully cool compared to the stale hotness of Hall 1.

In this video, Eko Nugroho gives an overview of the hidden role game Mat Goceng from designer Brendan Satria A.





Board Game: MashUp Monsters
• Manikmaya Games also showed two prototypes of future game releases as well as the quick-playing card game MashUp Monsters.





Board Game: Spexxx
• Another occupant of Hall 4 was Dutch publisher Waterfall Games, which showed off its debut title Spexxx from designers Ruben Dijkstra and Ruurd Lammers.





Board Game: Canopy Walk
• Designer Dennis Kirps was serving double-duty at Spiel 2014, working in the PLAYthisONE booth to show off RoboRama while also demoing Canopy Walk, co-designed with Gérard Pierson and published by TF Verlag.





Board Game: Rory's Story Cubes
Board Game: The Extraordinaires Design Studio
• Beth Heile interviewed Rory O'Connor and Anita Murphy from The Creativty Hub in October 2013 about The Extraordinaires Design Studio, and she got an update about the game/puzzle system at Spiel 2014, along with a brief shot of new additions to the Rory's Story Cubes line.
