We've finished our first full day at Spielwarenmesse 2014, the annual toy and game fair in Nürnberg, Germany, and my cameraperson and I recorded 37 game videos today. Granted many of them are short — and one may or may not contain images of me pole-dancing — but that's still a lot of videos. Unfortunately, the hotel we're in caps the upload speed at something under 150 kB/sec (in addition to requiring a log-in every few hours), so I think we might have to wait until I return to the U.S. before we can start processing videos and posting them on BGG. We'll see...

For now, here are a handful of images I shot today at the fair. I should have shot more perhaps, but I'll point to the 37 videos recorded as a sign that I wasn't slacking.

I'll note that videos and more details for some of these items will be forthcoming as I have more appointments over the next two days. One additional note for now: English editions of the Andor expansions are not an impossibility, but until everything is in place, nothing can be promised or announced.
