The Castle Event

We had an amazing weekend full of gaming! 🥰 We spent the last 3 days at the 🏰Castle Event, which is a joint event organized by Heidelbär Games and Czech Games Edition . Alongside them there were also several other partner publishers present, showing off some cool new games. In spite of the name, this year the event took place in an old monastery in Pielenhofen, Germany. 😊 The event is described as a combination of gaming, business, networking and fun, which sums it up perfectly! We had such a great time, meeting awesome people and trying out amazing games 🥰 - both existing games and prototypes of upcoming ones.

The biggest gaming highlight for us was undoubtedly the soon-to-be-released mid-heavy euro 📡 SETI from CGE; of which we played 2 full games! We would have played it even more, but games take long, and there was a lot to see - but it’s the best kind of long game, filled to the brim with intriguing decisions and ways to play. SETI definitely needs its own post, it’s an outstanding game! 🥳

A surprising hit (well, for us at least as we rarely play party games 😅) was 〰️Ito, a clever  cooperative deduction party game, in which you use theme based clues to hint at the value of your card. Ito was actually the first game we sat down to, and the last game we played before having to pack up and leave. Even though we aren’t much into party games, this one is excellent cringe-free fun and the perfect ice breaker!

We’ll be back soon with more about the games we played!
