Well my summer vacation trip this year turned out to be a lot of fun. This year GenCon was just as fun as last time. I spend four days trying out new demos, buying exclusive stuff, and meeting fellow gamers from around the WORLD. Even with four straight days, I feel like I still did not get enough time to see and try out all the things I wanted to. Here are some pictures from my weekend in gaming heaven.

Thanks for viewing!
Looks awesome man. Thanks for snagging stuff for me. What did you think of High Command?
ReplyDeleteHigh Command was OK, but deck building card games are not my favorite mechanic. I only played a few turns for the demo so need to play a full game before deciding.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Love the Sedition Wars board. Did you Kickstart Robotech?
ReplyDeleteAlso also I forgot: did they have any sweet Zombicide extras?
Based upon your experience at GenCon, which game will you be picking up next?! :)
ReplyDeleteStill enamored with Infinity at the moment. Nothing I saw or played enticed me enough to buy into.
DeleteLooks like fun; thanks for the photos.
