It's also a little bit out of our usual area, and luckily a coworker is willing to walk the dogs so that we don't have to worry about driving back in the evenings, which is super nice.
This year's tally?
- 22 - games played
- 21 - unique games played (that's right! only one played twice!)
- 3 - expansions
- 9 - wins
- 14 - new to me games (or expansions)
- 8 - games I would consider purchasing.
Here are some of the games (I started getting sick on Saturday and started forgetting to take pictures)
 |
| Orleans - New to me, relatively new overall; I really, really liked this game |
 |
| Attika - older game, tons of fun! I lost very quickly ;) |
 |
| 7 Wonders Duel - I am not a fan |
 |
| Roll Through the Galaxy! I'm always up for this easy dice game. |
 |
| La Granja - new to me, relatively new, and I kinda want to own it. |
 |
| Trains! Again, one that I always am up for playing |
 |
| Russian Railroads - I dominated this particular playthrough. I really like this worker placement |
 |
| The Game. It's a co-op and super hard, but still fun. |
 |
| Pandemic: The Cure. We died. But we made it a lot tougher on ourselves than it needed to be. |
 |
| El Grande! Another oldie, but goodie. |
 |
| Concordia with the Salsa expansion (which actually means "salt" not "tasty condiment"), I really want to get this expansion. |
My favorite (new) games were:
Attika

La Granja

Germain Railroads (expansion for Russian Railroads)

Our next *for sure* con is in September, though I'm kinda hoping to try to make GenCon this year; we'll see ;)
Great post and thanks for the recommendations as well. I'm glad you had fun and I hope you're feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Still working on the head cold, but at least it's just annoying now :)
DeleteThat's awesome :). I suck at trains but it's fun lol
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I always come in last, but I have fun playing at any rate :)
DeleteSounds like you had tons of fun! I'm always impressed to see how many different board games there are :)
ReplyDeleteExplaining to my coworkers/bosses what I've been up to for the past four days is always interesting. I tell them I'll be "gaming" and they thing "video/console gaming" and when I say "board gaming" they just think "Monopoly"
DeleteAnd then I show them a picture of our gaming collection and they give up! LOL
So I have to ask, do you watch Table Top or Critical Roll?
ReplyDeleteI know *of* them, but I don't usually watch unless a friend wants me to see something they think I'll be especially interested in.
