Recap of Strategicon: Gamex 2016

Recap of Strategicon: Gamex 2016

Strategicon holds its board-game convention three times a year in LA. I had so much fun the last two times I went (at Gateway and OrcCon) that my friend and I decided to make the trek west again.

Over the span of the 3 days I was there, I played 12 games, one that lasted 11 hours. (We left early Monday but the con continued until late that afternoon). It was a great mix of personal favorites and learning a whole bunch of new ones. Brace yourself, folks, there’s a lot of photos ahead …

Both games were a big hit with my friends, so much so that two different people purchased Sushi Go! later in the week, and one of them also purchased Survive and its expansions.

T.I.M.E Stories, Gold West, and Survive: Escape from Atlantis

Last weekend I went to Game Day, and a curious thing happened — all the games that I played were new to me! This hardly happens as whenever we learn a new game, somebody usually suggests an  old familiar game soon after, so that our brains don’t hurt too much. Or I usually suggest BSG because I do love playing BSG.
