Convention Preview News: Spiel 08 Preview Update
The updates are almost at an end with news only trickling in now and most of the major and minor names already covered. (Piatnik will undoubtedly wait until Tuesday at 16:59, but I think we can survive that omission.) The plan is to post a downloadable checklist of some sort on Monday, Oct. 20, but the exact form of that list is still in the works as the tide first needed to ebb.

Maybe it’s me but the link to the Czech ‘Crash by Crash’ site merely produced a game description and no rules. Posted by Derek Carver on Oct 19, 2008 at 04:37 AM | #

Derek, the listing for Crash by Crash now has a “rules link” – the book icon with the U.S. flag – but not the rules themselves. That said, I’ve played the game four times now and plan to write up something for the site later today. Eric Posted by W. Eric Martin on Oct 19, 2008 at 05:13 AM | #

Thanks Eric. As I suspected - my fault. I hadn’t registered what that little link symbol meant. (It now means I need to go through the whole four lists again!!!) Derek Posted by Derek Carver on Oct 19, 2008 at 05:50 AM | #
