Top 5 Sales
1) Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures
2) Inis
3) Flamme Rouge
4) Unlock!
5) The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire
The top spot for the new Sherlock game was no surprise: the first game was a big success and everything Space Cowboys are touching at the moment turns into gold (proof is Unlock, the second Space Cowboy game in the Top 5). Inis and Flamme Rogue have finally been available in bigger numbers, so you could actually order them without having a pre-order in place for months. And The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire is one of the positive surprises of the new year and now two months in a row in the Top 5.
Top 5 Pre-Orders
1) First Martians: Adventures on the Red Planet
2) Charterstone
3) Dice Forge
4) Santorini: Golden Fleece
5) Quadropolis: Public Services
First Martians looks great and I can't wait for it to arrive. I really like games with an app integreation, so this one has been on my wish list for a while. Charterstone sounds like an interesting concept and like Space Cowboys Stonemaier Games can't do anything wrong at the moment. Not so sure about Dice Forge, the idea sounds good, but is there enough game in the box to go beyond a shiny new concept? And two expansions (Santorini: Golden Fleece & Quadropolis: Public Services) for highly successful games rounding up the pre-order Top 5.
