The Toy Fair 2008 coverage finally comes to an end with a few oddball designs from newcomers, a few designs that aren’t as oddball as they claim to be, Ravensburger, Winning Moves, and assorted other items.

Okay, with multiple writing projects out of the way, I’m clearing the dust off my 2008 Toy Fair notes and wrapping up the games seen there in this article and one more to appear early next week.

I’ll continue with the general Toy Fair coverage in a later post or two, but I wanted to call out two announcements of note involving Z-Man Games and ElfinWerks.

The rain has cleared from the skies and streets, creating a nice cool environment for a walk to the Javits Center and a second day at NY Toy Fair. Unfortunately, I’m running late, so I have to take a cab instead, a cab that carries a television screen implanted in the back of the front seat, featuring something called “Taxi TV” – the purpose of which seems to be to keep riders occupied during slow traffic so as not to grow murderous. Mission accomplished!

It’s midnight in Manhattan, and a cool breeze is blowing through the open window in my friend’s apartment. The temperature might be near freezing outside, but funky radiators and the collected heat that comes from living on the top floor keeps her apartment warm no matter what the weather. The sound of traffic on Broadway, half a block away, rises and falls like a pulse. While New York is pictured as an always bustling and noisy metropolis, I haven’t heard a car horn in hours. Life carries on quietly in thousands of nearby apartments.
And I’m awake, writing (as always) about games – the good and the bad, the promising and the compromised. Most important of all, at least for this report, I’m showing off the new Risk from Hasbro, but not yet.

Playroom filled the morning post, but plenty of other game companies are on hand at Toy Fair, both known and unknown. I’ll start with one of the known, then dance through a few others…

You know you’re in Manhattan when you can’t walk two blocks without passing a Starbucks. While walking from Grand Central Station to the Jacob Javits Center for Toy Fair 2008, I saw four (or perhaps five) of the green-and-white logo beckoning with the promise of sweet drinks and free wi-fi. I resisted the siren call for now, pleased just to be able to walk the city streets, unlike in my hometown of Concord, NH, where more than 70” of snow has fallen this winter, and ice and slush cover every sidewalk.
Enough weather talk, let’s get to the games…
