Q&A met Etienne Espreman & Frédéric Delporte: ESSEN The Game

[Fred & Etienne]

27. Do you plan to bring expansions or customized versions to the market like:
- the Nurnberg expansion
- Work your way thru GenCon
- The Osaka Game market
...

Etienne speaking :

Why not ? It would be nice !

No, we gonna try to release this Spiel 2013... but maybe one day an extension with Spiel 14.

[Fred & Etienne]

28. Did you already started your own wish list for Spiel this year? Started mine a while back and curious about yours.

29. Will the game only be available through kickstarter and Spiel or will the local game stores also sell copies?

Hi, it's Etienne.

28) Not yet (too busy !) And i 'm sure i will have time this buy games on next Spiel. I 'm afraid i will stay on our booth.

Hi, it's Etienne again :

29) No, "ETG" will not be available on local stores. The KS is the only way to get it. Of course, if the ks success we gonna make 500 copies to sell in Essen. But if you want it, don't wait.

[Fred & Etienne]

As a gaming club of which the core members are regular Spiel visitors we would really like to add the game to our collection, could be used to interest other non-spiel-members to make a visit.

30. What is your favourite mechanic or part in the game?

Hi, Etienne speaking :

Personaly i'm proud of the encumbering feeling. it makes this game 100% realistic.

[Fred & Etienne]

32) Which game do you like the most: Bruxelles 1893 or Essen The Game?

Ditterio, GET OUT !

Seriously, could you ask to a father which one his child he prefers ?

BOTH are excellent ! But really different ! "ETG" is not as heavy as "Bxl".

Ok, you can come back !

[Fred & Etienne]

The campaign has been launched yesterday and is already 50% funded!

33) How you live this campaign? Are you continue looking at the campaign to follow its progress? I believe it must be hard concentrating you on other things because Kickstarter can be so excited!

34) How do you know each other? Is this for a long time before making this game together?

Hi Elsje, Etienne here !

33) No ! ... oups... YES ! One more backer !... Well, i said "Not at all !"... oups ! One more time... No, a KS campaign is not exciting. But, sorry, i have to leave you... I go back to KS site !

To be serious, of course, it's really exciting. I don't sleep anymore, don't think anymore, don't eat anymore, don't... anymore !

34) I know Fred for several years. He organises twice a year a " Games Weekend" in Ardennes ! Try to come next time. It's always funny ! i met Fabrice through Fred.

[Fred & Etienne]

35) I see one of the strech goals is a 5 player board. Do you have a also a solo version in mind ? I know a gaming experience is better with more but sometimes you have to improvise

Hi, it's Etienne :

No solo version, sorry !

Man, do you think you are alone in Essen ?

But we could think about that.

[Fred & Etienne]

Well, that's all for the moment. Thanks to all. I hope to see you in Zomerspel http://www.zomerspel.be/

For now, keep on playing "Bruxelles 1893"... waiting for "Essen the Game".

Etienne

... and remember, it's here the place to be : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/67 ... n-the-game

[Elsje07]

Thank you both for answerring all our questions!

The winner of the game will be announced tomorrow!

[WTULTC]

You didn't anser my question. It's question 31 about if you will make a game about SPEL and/or Spellenspektakel in the future.

[Elsje07]
