We arrived about 8:30am.  While I set up the Uberplay demos, Jacob and Matthew joined in a game of the classic Scotland Yard.

KC promised Jacob and Matthew that he would have a special gift for them if they came to Game Storm on Sunday for his annual “Family German Games” session.  KC did not disappoint - check out the Battle Dome game he found for them!  Think of Hungry Hippos or Gnip Gnop but with pinball flippers and a cool, wind-up ball distribution mechanism.

The obligatory Loopin' Louie game.

Jacob and Matthew play The Legend of Landlock with a cute little girl.

KC demonstrates one of his better prototypes (with a new graphic design!): Pizzza.

Schrille Stille was the highlight of the day for me.  Players take the part of a record label pulling strings to boost artists to new levels of fame or send them hiking.

So we did I like Schrille Stille so much?  I have a thing for cool play mechanisms (not abstract game mechanisms, but real gadgets that do something useful in a game), like the tower in Wallenstein.  Schrille Stille has this cool cd-player gadget that is used to secretly collect and distribute votes for the artists.  Matthew (surprise) was able to trounce everyone else.
