"Ada's Dream This was my most anticipated game of the con, and it exceeded my expectations. This minimally interactive Eurogame has players working with Ada Lovelace as she builds a prototype computer, and your brain will need a computer to ponder all your many options in the heaviest title on this list. Featuring a dice-drafting rondel and 3 inter-connected mini-games, players ultimately construct a personal computer using their dice, drafted punch cards, and mathematical cogs that will calculate end-game points."
"Dice color determines mini-game accessibility, dice pips determine which cards can be played, and dice-drafting location determines your immediate bonus, so it's an AP-inducing puzzle in the best of ways. It's also gorgeously produced with an exciting historical science theme. I already own, and love Revive, but this follow-up title from the same designers scratches the same gaming itch in a more streamlined fashion. Recall is a heavy point-salad engine-builder Eurogame containing exploration, excavation, and building on a shared map."
Temperatures are dropping and new board game releases from SPIEL Essen are arriving in the US as the convention season begins. PAX Unplugged serves as the largest board game convention in the eastern United States and provides opportunities to play both new and established titles. Select new-release games are set aside for open play in a First Look Space, where demand for seats is high. Ada's Dream is a minimally interactive Eurogame themed on Ada Lovelace, featuring dice-drafting, interconnected mini-games, and engine-building to construct a personal computer. Recall follows Revive with heavier point-salad engine-building, exploration, excavation, and shared-map building.
