Mystic Path: Nebel um Burg Tiefenkaastel

Nice game! I found it on the RPC 2010 in Köln/Germany.

Usually I don't rate a game before I played it. This one is an exception since it has only three rating until now. After reading the rules and some looks in the adventure book, and the other components I'm really impressed. You can clearly see that a lot of work and love has gone into this game, and besides the extremely thin boards the component quality is great for a self-publisher. The rules also sounds good.

Of course i will update my rating after playing it, but usually my first impressions after reading the rules are relatively accurate.

Despite the title, this Essen 2009 game is entirely in German. For a self-published effort I was extremely surprised (and pleased!) with the production value. This is essentially HeroQuest meets Vorsprung durch Technik (since the game is driven by audio files from a CD provided with the game) According to the publisher this is packed with 25 hours of audio!.

Haven't played yet, but the component have a quality look & feel. The audio (spoken encounter descriptions accompanied by music) also seem extremely well produced. I'm itiching to get this to the table.

Unless you speak German, however, this game will be virtually unplayable.
