Countdown to Gen Con 2020: 80-72
We've come to an end of this countdown. On May 19th, Gen Con officially cancelled their event for this year. All the badges will roll over to 2021 (unless individuals request otherwise) and they will instead be offering Gen Con Online this year, during the same dates. We'll now be counting down to that, and we're going to start posting some digital games... Maybe a lot of digital games; we're running out of board games and our local cafes are not open. Games Featured:
Day 80: Dominion
Day 79: Ascension: Realms Unraveled
Day 78: Herbalism
Day 77: Helios
Day 76: Dixit
Day 74: Castles of Mad King Ludwig
Day 73: Kingdom of Solomon
Day 72: Pioneer Days
We can’t quite remember, but we think Ticket to Ride might have been perhaps our gateway into the hobby. We happened to see the 10th Anniversary edition when we were shopping for a copy. It's huge and beautifully made - we've definitely been more partial to special editions as a result.
With a library of over 100 games, it can be hard to keep everything in rotation. Dominion, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, and Ascension are all games that we play multiple times a year. We used to play Dixit quite a bit, but that was years ago. We only recently played Helios and Pioneer Days for the first time. Helios had been on the shelf for nearly two years, still in wrap. Kingdom of Solomon and Herbalism have yet to be played, but they are both fairly new acquisitions.
