Board Games!

Scarab Sages

I'll be bringing a plethora of board games to the Con, as I did last year. I know a lot of people from the boards that I only really see at the Cons, so if anyone would like to try one of the games, just let me know :) I'll update this thread as free time allows when I'm looking for players.

Some of the games I'll be bringing:
Mansions of Madness
Descent 2
Rune Wars
Forbidden Island
7 Wonders
Civilization
Robinson Crusoe
Mage Knight
Cards against Humanity (duh)
Manhattan Project
Ticket to Ride
Settlers of Catan
anything else that strikes my fancy

Additionally, I will be bringing some too! I will have:
Race for the Galaxy
Deadwood Studios
Kingsblood
and Munchkin of course.

Kinda debating Elder Sign and Puerto Rico and pandemic.

Scarab Sages

Yeah, I brought Pandemic last year, I'll probably bring it again. Elder Sign I'm "eh" on. It's simple enough, but I got tired of it fairly fast.

I'd be eager to try Race for the Galaxy at some point, I've heard good things. :)

Silver Crusade Assistant Software Developer

It's probably my favorite game and once you've played once, it goes pretty fast. ^_^

Scarab Sages

Ooooh. I should bring Twilight Imperium too. That's one of those games that can take a long time, but man is it awesome.


My daughter and I will be down for Ticket to Ride. I have all the 7 Wonders expansions (all 3) if you don't have them and want to try them out I can pack them.

Look for short brown haired guy with black nerdy glasses, and a shorter, 10yr old red head girl. We love board games.

If there's interest I can bring:

Lords of Waterdeep (+ expansion)
Ventura
Through the Desert
Mice and Mystics
Thunderstone

just the setup takes 2 hours. =)

Scarab Sages

ooooh, I am definitely bringing Lords of Waterdeep (+ expansion) too. No worries there. I brought that last year, it was a hit.

I think I have all the 7 Wonders? Leaders, Cities, and the extra Wonders packs? I haven't even tried Cities yet honestly. Introducing people to the game and then doing the Leaders expansion first is usually all we have time for, lol.

Lissa: True, though I've gotten it down to a lot less with the right packing. *Explaining* the rules, however... yeah, that takes time.

Edit: Oh, and as for me, I'll be the guy with Nethys's holy symbol on my chest and the website logo on my back (www.archivesofnethys.com). Shouldn't be hard to find.

My BGG Collection, though it's probably out of date with some games (especially expansions).

I will of course be in a blueish purple polo for 90% of the con. ^_^ Sorry, there are a lot of us in that particular uniform this year.

What do you think of http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/92044/dungeons-dragons-conquest-nerath-b oard-game

I own it but have not cracked it open.

Scarab Sages

It's a fun war game, though I've only played it once so I can't talk on it too much. I'll add that to the list of games to bring!

Games that I would like to try but have never played:
-Munckin Pathfinder
-Card Wars

Other thoughts: are there more games that support lots of people, or that people can kinda jump into/out of as they see fit? The only one I can think of as an example is Cards Against Humanity, but we've obviously got that covered already.

Scarab Sages

CAH is the easiest, since there's no inherent disadvantage/advantage to having more points. Munchkin could work early on, but later it's a bit unfair to jump into a game with some higher levels. I can't think of many board games that allow good jump ins, so I'll be bringing a nice mix of short and long games to accommodate various audiences (ranging from 4-8 players).

Board games are ready to go!
