    This week, we look from afar at the hotness from Essen Spiel 2023, talking about the games that sold out, the games that hit the BGG hotness, and all the things we’re interested in tracking down for ourselves in a few months when they reach the US.

    • Question of the Week: What should be a mandatory addition to the side of game boxes (along with player count and length)?
    • Acquisition Disorders: Rats of Wistar, Gamefold: The First Folding Table Designed for Gaming
    • At the Table Reviews: Voidfall, Age of Innovation, Namiji: Deluxe Edition
