2007 Spiel Des Jahres Nominations
All of the above titles are being brought to the US by Rio Grande. I’ve played both Yspahan and Zooloreto, but neither particularly blew me away. Arkadia was described as “stock market tetris” to me, and Jenseits von Theben sounds a bit more “gamery.” And nobody seems to be gung-ho about Thief of Baghdad. There’s […]
