Game Previews from Nürnberg 2013: AMIGO Spiel – Crazy Lab, Kuddelmuddel, Pharaoh Code, Word on the Street & Flash 10

Game Previews from Nürnberg 2013: AMIGO Spiel – Crazy Lab, Kuddelmuddel, Pharaoh Code, Word on the Street & Flash 10
Board Game: Crazy Lab
• Let's continue with the video coverage of Spielwarenmesse – the annual toy and game fair in Nürnberg, Germany – focusing on the releases coming from German publisher AMIGO Spiel, some of which are due in early 2013 and others of which will come out later in the year. To start, we have Jordi Gené and Gregorio Morales' Crazy Lab, which is a tricky trick-taking game that is perhaps not demonstrated in the best manner in this video. Ideally we would have had an overhead camera (as we do at Spiel) to highlight the cards we were playing and make it easier to follow how poorly I was playing in our example game. Ah, well – ideally you'll still get the gist of the game from this overview...


Board Game: Connect the Thoughts
• Günter Burkhardt and Haim Shafir's Kuddelmuddel fits the Halli Galli-ish quick-playing, slap-a-bell card game category that AMIGO seems to target once a season. Scott Reed and I managed to play once in a five-minute break between interviews, and for now at least I get to claim the crown of U.S. Kuddelmuddel champion. Go, me!

• In addition to highlighting its early 2013 releases, AMIGO had posters of a few items aimed for presentation at Spiel 2013, including a German version of Jung-Hun Lim's Pharaoh Code, first published in 2011 by Korea Boardgames.


• Another title coming from AMIGO in late 2013 is Jack Degnan's Word on the Street, which should be interesting when played in German given that words like Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz and siebenhundertsiebenundsiebzigtausendsiebenhundertsiebenundsiebzig are possible since nouns can be compounded repeatedly to create new nouns. One word win!

• Flash 10 is another Spiel 2013 release from AMIGO Spiel, but I know zip about this game other than that it's part of AMIGO's quick-playing, black box line that includes Kookiz and Uuups. Still, I took a photo of the poster on display at Nürnberg 2013, so by durn I'm going to post it here and share this tidbit of information with you. Information now relayed – Eric out.
