Spiel 2014 Preview Update, Plus — Open Thread!

Spiel 2014 Preview Update, Plus — Open Thread!
From gallery of W Eric Martin
On Monday, September 8, BGG's Spiel 2014 Preview had 276 game listings on it; today it has 406 listings, i.e. roughly 50% more than it did the week before. I've been busy. (Or lazy, if you consider that I had some of this information prior to last week but hadn't yet entered it on the preview.)

I still have more games to add to the Spiel 2014 Preview — email to act upon; leads to follow; images, prices and booth numbers to request; publishers to poke; and designers to dun — but I thought I'd post a general update to explain why BGG News has not run many game round-ups in the past few days. All of that game info is being chunked into the BGG database and added to the preview, so you'll find it all there!

Perhaps to help others in their search for new stuff to explore or research, you could pull out one title added to the Preview in the past week and write something about it below, preferably linking to the BGG game page so that peeps can easily click for more info. Me, I'm going to go lie down for a few minutes...
