Shelley and I spend some time playing three VERY different games at a Post-Essen Weekend.

Flamme Rouge by Asger Harding Granerud from Lautapelit

a quick and interesting card game

Dodelido by Jacques Zeimet from Drei Magier Spiele

a small-box card game that requires quick thinking and pattern recognition

and

Capital by Filip Milunski from Granna

A Cities/7Wonders mash up about the re-building of Warsaw
