b'Opener: Bohnanza Das Duell A solo episode where I get to tell stories about Essen 2016 and reflect on my own experiences there. If you followed my Twitter feed during or after the event (on my blog), you may already know what I\'m going to say. If you\'ve listened to my podcast for a while, you know that I like taking the long view of our hobby, looking back a decade or more to gain more context about what\'s happening now. In this case, I have my own personal long view to take, since I was at Essen once before, back in 2003. That was before I had a podcast, yet I still reflected on my experience in an online magazine article. I\'ve recently re-posted that article on my blog here at BGG. I don\'t think it\'s the best aspect of our hobby, but it\'s undeniable that "show us the loot" photos and lists are part of the Essen experience. There\'s more buying than playing at this event, as far as I can tell. Ok, here are mine: Land in Zicht! (Dutch version of Entdecker), Saint Malo, Mont Saint Michel, Airborne Commander, Evolution The Beginning, Hanabi promo, Happy Salmon, Astronuts, Visby, F\\xfcnf Gurken, Romans Go Home!, misc game bits, Port Royal Unterwegs!, Jolly & Roger, Camel Up Cards, Las Vegas Card Game, X Nimmt!, Bohnanza Das Duell, Futschikato, Twins, Honshu, HMS Dolores, and my Spiel coffee mug!
