Howdy friends!
Another awesome GenCan't "convention" is in the books! There's not a whole lot I can say about it other than it was a lot of fun to have my friends over, bake some cool meeple cookies, and play a lot of games all weekend! No crowds, no lines, just a ton of fun (not to knock GenCon, cause that also looks like a ton of fun! haha). No vendors, on the downside, but we were able to go thrifting and hit up Target and Gamestop clearance sales and grab a few newbies! Mostly I just wanted to share my photos of the weekend here, so please enjoy! Did you do anything fun for GenCon or GenCan't? Leave some comments! *Side note - I'm thinking of opening a new Twitter page for just board game items - live tweeting plays, images, and links to the blog of course. Thoughts?

Have you ever played a game that was just a tad cheesy? Had a weird theme? Maybe was a little too obscure for your group? Then welcome to the club! I first discovered that CW&O games were kind of their own genre thanks to the Flip the Table Podcast. They played a lot of great cheesy games, and had a lot of fun doing so, which definitely got me more interested in them as a whole! This past weekend my friends and I participated in their International Cheesy Games Day by playing a bunch of these goodies and really getting into the cheesy spirit! I wanted to post about not only the fun that I had, but also the general goodness that is CW&O games, in hopes that others can enjoy them tons too!
Howdy fellow gamers!
I know I've been off the blog for a bit now, and I feel downright awful about it because it means I actually haven't been playing games as much lately. But for good (I think) reason - they've been packed away in preparation for a move to a house! Yes, my games now have a much bigger home than the dinky apartment they once lived in. But, because of that impending (and now pretty much completed) move, I have not been playing as many games as I would have liked, and I haven't been able to touch the blog at all. I'm hoping to change this soon, especially because we recently got a ton of new games that I am stoked to try out. So, I'm hoping, once I've adjusted to my new home a little more, I'll be able to play a variety of games a lot more frequently, and thus produce some great content for the people I imagine are reading this (I mean...there's probably a few of you right...RIGHT?). *Ahem.* Anyway, another semi-exciting update is that I am awaiting my first review copy of a game! I'm very excited to get to play through a game before it goes to KS and write a review of it (so be on the lookout for that). And if anyone else has games they want me to try out, let me know! Well, that's about all the updates I have. Some exciting stuff going on! But I also just wanted to say that I had a really amazing International Table Top Day (for those who were wondering what the heck ITTD above meant) at The Portal in Manchester, CT! We were there from 5:30am until midnight enjoying games, auctions, and good times. I captured a few fun moments on camera, of course, and have included those pics (as well as my new shelfies!) below! - Hover for captions. Happy gaming , peeps~ Howdy faithful readers! This weekend my fiance and I attended Granite Game Summit (G2S) in Nashua, NH! Now, I have been to one small board game convention (Grand Con) and and one large convention (PAX Unplugged)! Both were totally awesome.
I was definitely excited about this one, but knew it would be even smaller than Grand Con - little to no vendors, small library, mostly BYO games, small venue - but I was still anxious to get there and try it out. It surprised me a little how generous people were with their games (we are far too anal about ours to share them while we aren't playing them ourselves) but it was amazing! There were so many to choose from, I never knew what to play next! I got to play so many games I wouldn't have been able to otherwise, and I had so much fun trying things out. On top of that, we got to do a short pop-up escape room, won some play-to-win games, did geeky trivia, met a lot of cool people, and even got to try a few prototypes! Overall, it was a great convention full of fantastic people that I hope to see again next year! :) Read on for a list of games I got to play and some pictures of a few! (I wish I had taken more, but I kept forgetting haha) Hello there Gamers of the Multiverse!
As you can likely imagine, I had an amazing time this past weekend at the PAX Unplugged Convention. It was a very smooth convention, which made for an extra great experience as my first larger convention. People were kind and inviting, events/lines were conducted well, and the vendors were killer (as were their products)! I played a bunch of new games, met a ton of fun people, spent too much money on games and swag (& coffee haha), and just ultimately had a really great time. It was a fun new adventure, and I would love to return again next year and do it all again. ^_^ There's not much more I can say about it, but I think a photo collage will certainly do the trick! :D (Be sure to check the captions for more info & feel free to leave me a comment to talk about these games more!) Enjoy, and as always - Happy Gaming! |
