Nice. I played a few growing up. Never did D&D, bu I'm sure I would have enjoyed it. Sounds like it'd be fun.

@thegreatwha to get nit picky, D&D is a role playing game, not a board game! Think the world of Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Pandemic, but beyond the top 5 best sellers.

I suppose in the business of Board Games such nit pickiness is necessary. I personally can not stand Settlers of Catan or Ticket to Ride: too slow for my taste.

 

But there is a lot of stuff out there. So you are going to attend @Rafi?

I wish.  I'm working it, so will be stuck in my booth the whole time, and need to drive a 16' truck halfway across the country and back.

that's amateur hour

wait til you do a 75' truck

No thanks.  Driving the 16'er is stressful and uncomfortable enough.

I thought about going but had a wedding to go to. Bummer!

It was exhausting but super fun. We debuted two of the hottest games at the convention (Forbidden Sky & Trash Pandas) and had lines around the corner every morning. People were so excited to play and get their hands on a copy!
