Tim Jennette (Metal Meeple) George Breden, James Fitzgerald, and Brian Jennette It’s that magical time of year again when the entire board gaming world descends upon Essen, Germany...except for us, and collectively loses its mind! Over one thousand games, hundreds of thousands of gamers, enough cardboard to build a small European nation! That’s right — SPIEL Essen 2026 is here! And while we may not actually be wandering the halls ourselves, that’s not going to stop us from doing what we do best: digging through the massive list of new releases and figuring out which games deserve your attention. So, gather your game group, grab your dice, crank the meeples to eleven, and let the cardboard adventure begins... enjoy the show! -- HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW -- Please like and subscribe!
