Countdown to Gen Con Online: 10-1
We've made it! Our Countdown is finally complete, and Gen Con Online is underway! The last ten days featured the games that got the most likes. Some of that surely has to do with the names of many games also being actual locations... but Scythe had no such advantage. We enjoyed getting these games back off the shelf to finish out the countdown.
Games Featured:
Day 10: Dice Forge
Day 9: Catan
Day 8: Mexica
Day 7: Mystic Market
Day 6: Carcassonne
Day 5: Tsuro
Day 4: Terraforming Mars
Day 3: Azul
Day 2: Scythe
Day 1: Istanbul
First, we have a couple honorable mentions for tenth place. Both Ceylon and On Mars also got 90 likes by the time Dice Forge was posted. As of now, On Mars has 93 likes! Given that it was posted on day fourteen, this was a quick surge into contention, but not quite fast enough to be featured again.
All of these games came from our physical collection, aside from Scythe. We have the stunning Tabletop Simulator DLC for that one, which we cannot recommend enough. The countdown allowed (forced?) us to try more new games per week than ever before. Tabletop Simulator has been a great way to find and play new games, and we've seen more and more official mods as online conventions continue.
With the countdown complete, we've been wondering: what's next? We've upped our game plays considerably, and become more involved in the board game community during our countdown. We think we may start a podcast or start streaming board games... but for now, we're enjoying Gen Con and replaying some of our favorites.
