This geeklist is meant to track the new games presented at Essen 2009 as they climb the ranks of BGG. Games should be added as soon as they have a BGG rank. Sort is set to rank.
If you want to suggest a game for this list, please do so in a comment at the bottom and mention the BGG game ID# and the date and the rank number at the time you suggest it.
Please do not suggest 2nd editions, re-releases (including translations and/or versions with alternate titles) and games that were published this year but before Essen. Only new Essen games.
games that were (or will be) deleted from this list because they didn't satisfy the afore mentioned rule(s):
Endeavor
Day&Night
Rise of Empires
A similar list was made last year by Lajos and I copy and paste his description. 
You can find it here. More about the games published at Essen 2009 here (canonical list).
This Geeklist will not be updateing anymore. It takes to much time. See you next October.

These are some other recent 2009 releases that I feel should be on the Essen release list. Games are often presented at Essen for the first time though they may have been released within the same year. As the ones below get ranked and absorbed into the main list I'll pull them out. Many of the games I've been rating have made the main list with the exception of Grind, Storms of Steel, and Rush n' Crush which were certainly Essen timeframe releases and IMHO should be above.
