Board Game: Barcelona: The Rose of Fire
• This overview video of Barcelona: The Rose of Fire that BGG recorded at SPIEL 2016 is under eight minutes long, but co-designer Francesco Nepitello runs through a lot of information and detail in that time, such as Devir's commissioning of the game from him and Marco Maggi, the huge amount of time spent on the game's graphic design, and the inherent gameability of Barcelona itself.





Board Game: Crisis
• A country in Crisis — can you use your workers to rebuild businesses and get the economy moving again? LudiCreations Kickstarted this design by Pantelis Bouboulis and Sotirios Tsantilas, and it ran out of copies before SPIEL 2016 ended.
