Something I wanted to share with you before I leave: I got a letter today from Friedhelm Merz Verlag — the company behind the Spiel in Essen. I was quite surprised. Turns out they had sent me a voting ballot for the Deutscher SpielePreis 2003, because I voted last year. Nice.

I was going to vote anyway, I’m just waiting for until I’ve had the possibility to try more new games. I suggest you all go vote, too. You can win prizes (games and tickets to Spiel fair) and of course, you can affect on who gets the coveted DSP prize!
