Sounds good, I might get this for my Secret Santa target since they were looking at Japanese games like Barbarossa. Wish you'd review that and the other Japanese games you got, even if they didn't include translations and you found the artwork to be distasteful. I mean the gameplay of Barbarossa has been given amazing reviews and people seem to love it -- I'm sure a review from you could help get the game some more fame and possibly an English publisher to pick it up (and change the theme)!
It's published by Japon Brand. They attend SPIEL in Essen every year, and usually sell their games for a very reasonable price, especially in bundles. They also published the original version of Fairy Tales, and that has since become published in an all English version (and many other languages), so we chances are we'll see another edition of this eventually.
This game looks very interesting, it's a shame it's so difficult to acquire. I did a bit of research and it seems the game was published by an amateur company and actually getting a copy (if you can find one) can run you upwards of $45-50. Hopefully someone picks it up and republishes it outside Japan, I'd definitely buy a copy.
the word Grimoire is french and is pronounced |grim'wär| the last part of the word rhymes with "car", roughly. its a name for a book of (usually evil or dark) magic spells.
I never realised Tom was friends with the Teletubbies. They are even kind enough to let Tom do his video intro in their garden.
Yeah, I bought this game for an Xmas gift and I'm really excited about using the spell book and it's play mechanics.

Thanks Tom for pointing out another great game. Trying to get the game to the Netherlands will be difficult, but I'll give it a try anyhow.
