The dice drafting / action selection / tile placement mechanics all worked in a really awesome way. I really recommend this.https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-25.jpgGC2019-25Just a few of the people ready to barge into the Exhibit hall Thursday morning!https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-24.jpgGC2019-24Picked up a copy of the Unearth expansion for some coworkers and was able to get it signed by the designers!https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-23.jpgGC2019-23As a fan of Euros I was excited to get Nusfjord to the table in the Gen Con Games Library. This is a bit lighter than some of Uwe Rosenberg's other titles, which was quite refreshing!https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-22.jpgGC2019-22First demo was Die Tavernen im Tiefenthal by Schmidt Spiele. It was fantastic and I'm so glad someone in our group pre-ordered it!https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-21.jpgGC2019-21Gave Copenhagen a try, by Queen Games. I thought the mechanics were really clever and I'm looking forward to playing again. https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-20.jpgGC2019-20Had to snag the new Sweet & Salty expansions for Food Fighters by Kids Table Board Gaming. My kids have already played a half dozen times!https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-19.jpgGC2019-19Megacity: Oceania was an interesting resource collection and dexterity-esque game. Hope you have a nice, flat table!https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-18.jpgGC2019-18Burger Study produced the official burger of Gen Con. Did any of you try it??https://boardsandbarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gc2019-17.jpgGC2019-17Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra was a hit with our group. We really like the standard Azul and this was a nice, more "gamey" sequel.
