Board Game Geek Con (BGG-Con)

This past week and weekend, Rob and I attended a board gaming convention -- BGG-Con. We have never attended an event like this, so we weren't quite sure what to expect. The convention went from Thursday morning until Sunday afternoon. We were lucky that the hotel where the convention was being held near my Aunt Marty and Uncle Bill's house, and they were amazing hosts as usual. Anyways, we arrived early Thursday morning to get in line to register and possibly win some games! They ended up starting registering people early because the turn out was huge. We got three games waiting in line and registering.

The Con lasted from Thursday until Sunday, although our last night of gaming was Saturday. We participated in a few tournaments - one was Alhambra, and the other was Ticket to Ride. I did not fair too well in either tournament, but Rob started off doing pretty well. He won the first round of Alhambra, but didn't make it after the next round. Ticket to Ride was a little bit harder for us, but it was still a fun tournament.

We played lots of games (obviously) and some of them were new. Let's just say, we came to the Con with zero games, and left with about 6... But they were well worth it! I really hope that Rob and I can make this a yearly event we attend because I had a BLAST!

Here's a list of the games that we bought: The Adventurers, Aton, Bezzerwizzer, Magic Labyrinth, Magician's Night, Robber Knights, Shadow Hunters Expansion, and The Stars are Right.

Game On!! :)
