Although I am stuck at work in Australia, I can't help but be excited about the new games being released in Essen. Here's what I'm interested in, or otherwise.
Leonardo da Vinci: I'm interested in playing, but it hasn't got my interest enough to want to buy it.
Taluva: A must-have for me. Very pretty, almost abstract, plays quickly - many of the things I like.
Hameln: I picked up a copy of Shear Panic last week, and I've decided that Fragor games are simply must-buys. Even if the game sucks I can use them to amuse small children. BTW, Shear Panic is a decent game.
Anasazi: I know almost nothing about the game but I love the theme so I'm going to continue watching it.
Fiji: I've had good experiences with Friedemann, and a game about shrunken heads has to be a good thing, so I'm going to get it. Mara's art is always awesome as well.
BattleLore: I have a 10yo son who liked Memoir '44, and loves the fantasy theme. I guess I'll be buying this for a few years yet.
Emira: I'm always attracted to games with controversial themes, and I owe it to my game buddies to buy a gamer's game every now and then. You can't have too many games about hot women.
Silk Road: I was very keen to support Bruno and Ted, but when I discovered it used that horrible "someone misses out on the auction" mechanic, my interest fell away sharply. I'm very interested in the theme, but are the bits beautiful enough to support a mechanic I dislike?
Graenaland: I like the theme, but need to find out more about the game. Maybe I'll just look forward to playing it.
Formidable Foes: I only just realised this one existed. Same comments as above for Friedemann, though the theme doesn't appeal to me as much as for Fiji.
Khan Tsin: I know nothing, but I'm always up for a good 2 player abstract. It looks nice.
Well there goes a couple of months discretionary spending... On a slightly related note, I only own 4 games published this year. However I own 33 published last year. I guess I won't get most of these till next year :-(.

I only own one game published this year, and it's an expansion. How's that?
