One of the questions involved our preparations for SPIEL '18, which at this point opens in less than two weeks. So much still to do in the time that remains, including posting the BGG demo schedule (coming Monday, Oct. 15), creating at least three more video overviews of games that will be featured at that show, and finishing that danged SPIEL '18 Preview, which in theory I was going to stop updating after today, but I still have lots of notes from publishers in my inbox and with the show catalog from Merz Verlag now live, I can hunt down other games missing from this list.
In any case, on with the show! Our next episode will be a live broadcast from SPIEL '18 on Thursday, Oct. 25, starting at 18:30 Essen time, which is GMT+2, or 12:30 p.m. on the U.S. east coast and 9:30 a.m. on the U.S. Pacific Coast. Until then...

Why?Are there new players entering the buyers market? If so, who are they? Are people who play games just buying more? I'd love to hear your take.
