TOY FAIR 2013

After weathering the horrific effects of SuperStorm Sandy, a hurricane so devastating that even now, months later, many of my fellow New Yorkers (and neighbors over in New Jersey) are still dealing with the aftermath, you would think the worst is over.

Less than 48 hours before the official opening of this year's New York International Toy Fair, Mother Nature took another swipe at my beloved city, blasting us with Nor'easter Nemo (you know it's going to be bad when they gave it a name!) delivering wind gusts of blizzard force and dropping up to 30 inches of snow on parts of the Greater New York Metropolitan Area! But New Yorkers are tough and it takes more than that to stop us - and it takes more than that to stop this year's Toy Fair held in Javits Center in the middle of Manhattan.

Despite the challenges, Toy Fair proved to be an exciting and worthwhile experience. The best thing about Toy Fair for me, as always, is reconnecting with friends that I haven't seen for awhile and making new ones. But for our worldwide readership, the main focus is on the latest games so here is our comprehensive view and YOUR advanced peek at what's new and planned for the year ahead. Where available, we've included brief descriptions, number of players, game length and suggested retail price. Critical commentary and evaluations are reserved for upcoming issues of GA REPORT (and if you're not already a subscriber, you can correct that oversight right now!). Now let's get down to it (in alphabetical order)!
