Nürnberg 2013: You Can't Spell Nürnberg Without Newark...

Nürnberg 2013: You Can't Spell Nürnberg Without Newark...
From gallery of W Eric Martin
I'm in the midst of traveling to Spielwarenmesse 2013, the toy and game fair held annually in Nürnberg, Germany, and while my schedule is mostly full – 33 appointments to film game demonstrations over three days, with two more demoes to arrange on site! – if you're going to be at the convention and have something to show off or talk about, contact me via the email address above. Perhaps we still have time to arrange something.

The Nürnberg 2013 Preview that I've been compiling since early January has more than 125 items on it, with more still to add but little time to do so before I need to board my flight. I'll complete it as time allows over the next week, especially as I discover new games at Spielwarenmesse that I wasn't aware of previously. This will be my first time at the show, so I'm curious to see how it differs from the toy and game trade show in New York.

Speaking of which, the 2013 New York Toy Fair Preview, by contrast, doesn't even have twenty items on it right now, but I've been focusing on Nürnberg since that show (1) occurs first and (2) has more publishers present that fit the BGG readership. I'll pump up that list, too, once I'm back in the U.S. and recovering for a week before I head to NYC for a day at the Javits Convention Center. Fun times!
