Michael and I went to GenCon Indy, the biggest board game convention in America, I think. It was from August 4-7. We arrived Thursday evening and made it over to the convention to look at our options for the next few days. It was a lot to handle! Things I noticed the 1st day:
*There are some weird people.
*There were a ton of people.
*Every room in the convention center and rooms in the connecting 4 hotels were filled with events!
*There was a ton of games you could play either by buying event tickets or sometimes for free!
*There was an auction to bid on items.
*It didn't smell nearly as bad as I thought it would.
We were able to learn and play Ascension (which is a game we have, but never played), Talisman (which is another game we have but never played), Munchkin Quest and Dungeons & Dragons. We really wanted to play Descent, but it was $6 and 5 hours long for the intro game and they were sold out. Bummer!
So we realized that it is important to look at the list of all events and plan our days out before we get to the convention so that we can buy our tickets the 1st day we get there.
All in all, it was great and we will definitely be going again next year!
