TBGT Numbers & Superlatives

The event is over & recapping is going to take a while, but here are some initial stats.

Twitter-sourced Gaming - Weekend Gaming Recap

Apparently this week was in fact destined for lots of gaming opportunities as multiple invitations were extended on Twitter for the weekend. As a result I got to game on both Friday night & Saturday afternoon. 

TBGT - Flea Market Prep

This Saturday morning at TBGT is the Flea Market, a chance to move out some games that have been sitting unplayed and hopefully snap up a few deals to replace them. I've been meaning to better curate my collection for a while, so these are the games I have that are hopefully destined for somewhere else:

Opened & Unpunched

• Dreaming Spires - $40
• De Vulgari Eloquentia - $25

Opened & Unplayed

• Cubist - $25
• Garden Dice (with Card Expansion  in box) - $25
• Island Fortress (with KS promos) - $20
• Lagoon (with KS wooden pieces) - SOLD
• Rise! - $5
• Skyline - $10
• Tessen (damaged box corners) - $5
• The Fittest - $5
• Tiny Epic Kingdoms - $5

Played - Condition Varies

• Ascension (good condition - 7 promo cards included) - $20
• Fluxx (beat up box - anyone need cards for protypes???) - $2
• Fresco (played once - has expansion modules 1,2, and 3) - $30
• Ingenious (box has shelf wear) - $10
• Oz Fluxx (played once) - $5
• Quiddler - SOLD

First dibs goes to locals & event attendees as I don't really want to deal with shipping. After the event, I may open it up if there's a bunch left over.

I may be adding more games later but we'll see how ruthless I'm prepared to be as I get ready for TBGT.

TBGT - Games I Want to Play

Next week is That Board Game Thing (TBGT), a 5 day invitational gaming event here in NC that offers a great opportunity to get a bunch of games to the table. The focus is just on playing games, this is the first year they'll have multiple (as in 3) vendors on-site, so I usually get a long list of titles played & learned during the event. The fun starts Wednesday so (partly as reference for myself) here's the list of games I'm hoping to get in:

Labo(u)r Day & beyond - Monday & Tuesday Gaming Recap

I managed to play games Monday & Tuesday which was a very welcome change from my typical once (maybe) a week gaming opportunities, especially given that minor surgery a few weeks ago had resulted in a gaming hiatus. Not only did I get to game more, but I got to play nothing but really good games making it a very successful couple of days. I was remiss in writing up each day's gaming at the time, so you're getting them in one long post instead.

Island Dynasty - Wednesday Gaming Recap

Wednesday night at the Armory was my first gaming in a while (excluding a few rounds of Tides of Time) & it was nice to sink my teeth into some tricky decisions in both of the games we got to the table.
