Essen Spiel 2022 Vlog - Second Day

[Music] [Music] good morning everybody it's a chilly morning here in Essen Germany um it's a little early too I guess it's a little after seven so I'm heading over towards the booth and it is I guess chili might be too calm aboard well whatever this is day two of Essen so uh yeah yesterday was a long day but today is exciting because today is the day we're gonna do our live show so people are going to come by and get tickets for that at our booth which are free but we just do it to keep track people can come so alrighty I should have got a scooter starting off this morning was just a nice pleasant walk through the downtown kind of shopping area I walked past the cafe that I was aiming towards and realized I just like walking out here Tom's probably already at the booth and been there for three hours already and that's fine honestly like 7 40 in the morning right now anyway so I don't have to be up this early but sometimes you just can't sleep and so when I enjoy a nice walk through through the town and just see what fantastic places are definitely not open I need to go back to that Cafe I need to get food see ya so here I am I just came through the door this is the back side of Hall six this Hall was filled in 2019 so there's a few less booths I don't think House of donors has uh breakfast hours which is probably unfortunate but also probably fortunate for me the exhibitors are kind of drifting in there's not the you know the the sheer Panic of yesterday because most booths are set up see very few people here which means I can go get a sandwich for breakfast it's currently 8 40. the exhibitor line over here can get through to get all their booths ready uh but oh I need to show my badge but um oh people lining up already that's my point that is quite the booth there for Acropolis uh clearly a very popular game that uh Wendy was right about to some degree but I was right too yeah Vindication Chris Vindication sweet sweet vindication I'll try to highlight just a few other booths here before we get back to the booth to start our day I can't remember the name of this company uh lck they did the fandom card game right the future goons some really cool looking stuff um we've got analysis paralysis that's a great company name um board game strategos games over here they do that Glory game of nights uh oh logus logius this is uh kids games they do where is it right here uh photo fishing my daughter really loved that one a couple of these just very fun little kids games so it's it's cool to see things that oh there's the elephant slide yes so we're trying to figure out exactly how to carry all the games back we have extra luggage just in case Tom just had to look through the luggage of what we have uh some of the stuff we have so far and then left like a child dumping out his Legos where is Tom oh nowhere around nowhere to clean up his mess good going Tom thank you also thanks for taking me to Essen with 35 minutes left people are now starting to fill up the place folks are running around and we're all getting ready to go this morning we're going to be doing the live show oh no this morning we're giving away tickets to the live show okay I'm gonna start this over because I can't talk right this morning we're going to be giving away tickets to the live show Make It Rain vassal Make It Rain I think it's a gold okay I got a golden ticket oh you don't want to throw them up in the air and have a great like money shot okay here we go oh it'll fall on the ground hey Hilmar say good morning to everybody good morning

for spending time out of your Spiel to come here and help us out of the dice tower Booth you're great uh Uli once saved Tom's life it's true I did yes um I mentioned it's a storied past with the dice tower uh and you what was it you you saved him from a man robbing him at gun points or you know that I'm I'm not supposed to talk about it actually it was not just one man it was five yes and there were bombs involved and they were Ninjas Oh yeah I almost forgot about the ninja they almost forgot about the ninja standard stuff that happens here all the time tickets are being distributed by um Carmen San Diego vassal himself it's uh you might make fun of the way the Tom dresses you might make fun of you might make fun of the way that Tom carries himself generally speaking but the thing about him is that he's a very easy person to find when you're looking for partition [Music] all right so it's all about running some of that running maybe to get into this line to get tickets you see it all running around Corey Thompson and it all ends right here with Tom vassell handing out tickets for our live show which is going to be today at 2PM so this is pretty humbling actually to see a line that is literally just snaking around this booth our apologies to the people at the rasculars booth we have people line up all around your booth to get into the show but hey wait a minute you're welcome ratskellers boost we have people lined up all around your booth looking at your tables on accident listening to subliminal messaging rathskellers more than meets the eyes lots of people looking at inserts over here this is another insert these are the wooden ones called laser rocks look at the frost Haven up there people are going to be trying to grab it Mike is just getting endowed with candy this is our Vlogs various this one is the special one so this isn't special this is classic I was told that at Essen we get a lot of treats from people that uh from all over the world that come to us and I was trying to prepare for that but it's hard to explain quite how many trees this is just through the beginning of day two and some things have already been eaten we have gotten so much food and all of them are very very healthy and uh good for your diet also helping us out here in the booth is Borg org thank you so much for spending your time here at this field you'll uh because resistance is futile got it yeah did you get it do you get it do you get it so uh what why did you come here to help out of the Dyson uh a friend of mine is out here probably along uh to work here and to get to know all these wonderful people I've gotten to know in the last two days but are really awesome I can tell you railroad Madness or in the words of Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train I don't know what's going on here but I really like it yay more people playing season Empire just just selfishly saying oh there we go look oh can you live on the pizza deliver pizza oh whoa look at this foreign yeah you nailed it look at this this is the authentic this is how I make my pizzas ironically I haven't filmed anything at the front entrance of the hall Titan Ford here is a showing off lobotomy 2 Manhunt and well they have collectible little um what are they called Bobble machines or something like that you can put in two Euro and get a random miniature and a dye it looks like hey look at that one of the diners showing off a neat little look here at age of inventors which is my pick of the week on a crowd surfing before it is so hard sometimes to tell the difference when a game is being demoed for sale or when it's an upcoming Kickstarter so obviously appreciate when something says like that live now on Kickstarter that helps but I mean that's the thing you see a little bit of everything here it has lots of demo tables going on I'm not sure everything that's fog over carcasson's being played over there I don't know what this giant thing is but I love it that's so cool Keystone gray Western Trail oh there's so much stuff going on people sitting down and getting to try out lots of great games I seriously want to know what this giant thing is though I love it all right this is the behind the curtain scene these are people who are coming hour early an hour early crazy an hour early I just want to be clear oh not really 47 minutes all right we're about 10 minutes out from the beginnings of the dice tower live show here at Essen and we've got some people Milling about and uh getting ready to enter hello hello getting ready to enter the room here you can see we're filling up quite nicely this is a tremendous feeling of power I have a feeling like I could try to get them to start the wave right all right now I'm not going to do that I'm not going to abuse myself there we go singular wave oh look at so this room is supposed to seat around 600. stealing my thunder you know these people are gonna all be watching this video you're looking for yourself you know you're doing it for it oh look at all the fans a little of these folks know that none of us are actually up on stage we're all behind here laughing at them and he's already happy look he's very easy to please that's good he's gonna need to be very easy to please because uh he has no idea what's in store for him hey look at all this yes we are mere minutes from going up live on stage and Camille is already talking about decapitation it's strange how it takes almost nothing for her to talk about decapitation like what's it called mutilation yeah [Music] you get it for free today so you have your love from board games it comes from your mom yes it comes from me yes I did not I didn't know any board game and then you taught me I I remembered well the first time that it was a rainy Sunday and I set you down to play a game okay it was it was Monopoly [Music] it was a card game we love to play card games it was one of those Sundays where we ritually burn cards thank you [Music] uh I'm gonna say uh where the start of the letter b and it's a female dog come on people have come by and taken pictures with us and everything's sporting good beer for some reason or maybe it's a salt and pepper shaker I don't know I'm gonna assume it's a salt and pepper shaker but just relaxing after the live show and we're gonna go back to the hall for a little bit more and finish out the day this looks awesome it's like a custom track flicking flicking game oh my gosh that one is so cool that makes the other one look so boring and compared this one is awesome so this game here from the makers of fubi which is a great soccer game called clip look at this you're bouncing it up on these suspender type boards and try it and then there's these pegs in here um that you're trying to go around this is pretty fun but I'm pretty terrible at it because I just played a game of it and I'm the black marbles so you can see who won that one one of the things about being an American is that foil and Spiel is a company that maybe you don't know terribly much by name but they carry so much stuff in Europe a lot of games that you think of Capstone games or foliage view they seem to be Distributing uh you know Parts here the stonemeyer games they have Arc Nova uh New York Zoo um they're selling blue behaven inside and just all of the stuff in their Booth here that we think of it as from different companies a lot of them actually from Portland Spiel and then a lot of get them get moved over to Portland Spiel for European localization I don't know I was filming this it wasn't that interesting here's a giraffe instead Pegasus wheel is a company that I not only did I not know all of the board games that they did but also in the European market they do a lot of different things the role player puzzles we have avatar The Last Airbender puzzles uh just like different uh IPS and stuff they also have a lot of books like a lot of books Shadow run novellas or novels however you want to call it the roof there's Cthulhu the roof the roof the roof that's Cthulhu the Pegasus demo area and the sales area are over there but behind me to this side is the Pegasus business area that's right it's business time so you have to actually go to a different place if you're trying to have meetings uh contracts uh uh even um there's like a concierge standing there she's she's calling the cops on me I got okay I'm sorry I gotta go the 2f should be like uh Booth here freedom and freezes company uh may not look very big over here but it is very green super deals over there not just regular deals but super deals I don't think Tom even knows about this we were wondering what this alternate art was it's oh my gosh it's cool promo monsters agario kaboomer okay kaboomer one more thing I've often forget about yellow that they have a younger kids line of games called monkey game and very lost again who doesn't want to play some giant Carcassonne me because they keep squatting and my legs are so tired and I'm lost again Tom was not kidding when he said that the Galleria really fills up here it is uh noticeably harder to walk around here and this is just Friday as compared to Thursday uh also I'm lost look Collectibles that's the name of this actual Booth over here look at that giant Bart Simpson head is that actually for sale I thought that was like part of the sign something about unsignizer stuffing animals or something I'm not really quite sure I call in board game tables I'm going to get from the name that this is a German company if the losses know about the Lucid tables well I'm no longer lost but the place I was looking for didn't have the thing I was looking for sleep tight sweet friendly here's a Mesa Hall number seven I I'm gonna make a personal goal thank you to speak with every publisher in this entire area and apparently I just did my work here is done of course no trip to the SM would be complete without a stop by the Haribo booth and I'm gonna be buying stuff here for my kids not me I swear I was prepped look I'm wearing my gummy bear tie because I thought I might stop by this booth to get stuff for my kid I think that's a genius games human anatomy puzzle uh even though it looks like something straight out of Attack on Titan well the British contingency is showed up at the dice tower Booth we've got a
