I loved BGG.con for so many reasons, but one thing I LOVE doing is just wandering around and seeing what people are playing. Not to find a game to play (although that inevitably happens!) but just to take in the whole BGG.con atmosphere.

Like the what the heck is this group playing?:strip_icc()/pic1155328.jpg)
They were all clustered around a table, standing up, with cards spread out in front of each of them. Very intense discussion,so I didn't want to interrupt to ask. Looked like fun, though.

I was tempted by the flea market, but it looked way crowded and I was worried that I'd actually FIND something I wanted to buy...and then I'd have to worry about whether Jeff & I could fit it into our luggage. I knew he had already picked up some new games.:strip_icc()/pic1155935.jpg)
:strip_icc()/pic1155937.jpg)
But back to the whole board game convention atmosphere. One thing that I love about BGG.con is that it's all about FUN. Sounds obvious, I know, but how many FIVE DAY CONVENTIONS do you know whose activities are completely focused on having fun?:strip_icc()/pic1155334.jpg)
One of the things I love about BGG.con is the fact that there are so many different options, depending on what I feel like. I'm not a night person like my husband, which is why I don't get to do nearly as much gaming as he does during the year.:strip_icc()/pic1155939.jpg)
At BGG.con, I can crash as early as I need to. And no matter how early I wake up in the morning, I KNOW that there will be people gaming downstairs. Some of them will have been up all night, of course, but still!:strip_icc()/pic1155938.jpg)
Plus I love the fact that there's no need to smalltalk. We ALWAYS have something in common to talk about.:strip_icc()/pic1155942.jpg)
Ok, enough about that. Back to the games I played at BGG.con...

Back in the days when there were less maps we played every map back to back
Ooh a little higher, now a bit to the left, a little more, a little more, just a bit more. Oooh yes, that's the spot!
