The game itself isn't important. Spending time intellectually jousting with likeminded folks is the real reason to game.

Here are twelve games I really want to try at BGG.con this year. If any of these are games that you really love, I would LOVE to play this with you (because there really isn't anything more fun than playing a game with someone who loves that game).

So, if you see me milling around not doing anything, grab me and make me play one of these games with you!

What do I look like? You can get a pretty good glimpse of me in my multitude of review videos and other videos. Here's a bunch of them.

I won a bundle with this and ALL expansions a while back, but I have never played it with them. In fact, I haven't played it in a very long time. My group is sometimes... wary... of this style of game, so I'm not sure they will ever play it. I really want to give it a shot, though!

I do not know how to play Tichu. The iPad app just confused me. Please teach me the way of Tichu!

I have never played this, though it's popular enough around here that a local game group held a tournament. I missed that session, though, but I know it's popular enough that I should learn it.

I am a huge fan of Agricola and Le Havre. I think that's enough said.

I absolutely loathed this game the one time I played it. So many people love it. Show me why.

I was designated to teach this game to our group, but although I love the theme, I wasn't quite able to grok it.

I keep seeing people playing this at the local Community Game Night, but I never get a chance to sit down and figure it out with them.

I learned this from someone and thought it was terrible. Later, I heard that the person who taught it was pulling rules from another dimension or something. Let's try it!
