Spiel 22 Preview II.

Our hype for Spiel continues!
Let’s take a look at another 4 exciting big box games that are coming out.

🌼 Revive

This game has a ton of mechanics. You play cards that have different effects depending on whether you played them above or below your player board. It could also trigger modules of that slot, and you will be getting new cards as well. There is a huge board with tiles to explore, where you can place meeple unlocking unique abilities from your asymmetric tech tree, and place buildings to earn resources. Your player board has a lot going on too. We are a bit turned off by the graphics of this game, but it will be most certainly a hot one.

⚔️ KnightFall

We were planning to buy this at GenCon but unfortunately it was not yet for sale. We also didn’t manage to test the game but are still interested nonetheless. It is an asymmetrical team versus game, where one side plays as demons breaking through a portal with the intent to kill the elders that are trying to seal this portal. The other team are the knights who need to protect the elders. There is also a cooperative and story 2-player mode.

💰 Clank Catacombs

I have to confess we have never tried any of the Clank games, even though I am quite interested in how they are. Deck-building and gathering loot sounds like a jolly time. I think Clank: Catacombs will be the ideal entry point for us because of the modular tiles and random setup of the dungeon - we just love the sense of exploration and flipping tiles in games.

🌀 Horizons of Spirit Island

This was designed as a beginner friendly version of Spirit Island with a fix game board instead of modular tiles and a streamlined setup - however it does come with 5 brand new spirits to play as, so it is an instabuy!
We were sad when it was originally announced as a US Target exclusive release, but it seems they will be selling it in Europe too now (Also during Essen SPIEL!) 😁
