Spiel19 – Wooden wheels of Barrage; aye or nay?
Wooden Wheels and 5th Player Map for BARRAGE. Are they worth the upgrade / add-on? Here’s what CK thinks from his first-look at Spiel19. A Happy 10 Birthday to Cranio and quick look at their 2020 line-ups. #spiel19

TTGDMY GammaWave @ RexKL 14/12/2019
Malaysia’s very own Boardgame Designers community ended last year with a bang, hosting a 2-day showcase event for locally designed boardgames in their GammaWave Weekend held at RexKL. Here’s a recap from our visit on Day One.
To MARS and back, the Retreat is returning to its competitive mode (BGCR2019)
Last year’s dial-back more relaxed unstructured Retreat was a resounding success, bringing together gamers from Malaysia and Singapore for a weekend of (almost) non-stop gaming. This year we rotate back to our (original) semi-competitive format as we get set to host our 9th Retreat this Dec 7-8 at the 3rd Rock from the Sun.
It’s Essen Spiel already?
A larger Spiel. More of everything and a newly renovated Messe Hall. And Rachel’s first Spiel ticket.

Enjoy the camaraderie of a Lalang Retreat (BGCR2018)
A change of venue and a slight change of format. This year, we’ll be hosting our 8th Retreat at Bagan Lalang, Sepang in a less structured, less competitive format. Still a blend of that latest Essen games and older/popular titles, and you now get to call out what games you wish to play! Mark your dates for this Dec 1 & 2 weekend for an awesome weekend of non-stop gaming. #nosharks #justmerman
The Orient Express now departs from OTK….. err, once a year?
To many, the Orient Express is a once-a-lifetime adventure given how prohibitive a ticket is. Likewise the 18OE Orient Express (one of the many 18xx titles we at OTK enjoy) could be a once-a-lifetime experience given how prohibitively long the playtime is (12hrs min?). Anyway we decided to give this game a spin on a mid-week public holiday. Read on to get a good overview of how this game plays out, and where next for the Orient Express?Â
Top in a race. Brutally.
Were you excited when Restoration Games announced the reprint of a very old classic Wolfgang Kramer game Top Race (ala Formel 1)? Maybe you haven’t even heard of it. But Formula One and other racing games always have a special appeal. Reimplemented in 2017 as DOWNFORCE, come drive with us and find out more about this new classic.
