Thanks again Jamey for giving me the opportunity to share my Geekway experience!

Glad to see Trio make it to the honorable mentions! Had a blast playing it with you all

Quite a range on the shelves behind Jeff.. rare to see Empires in Arms and a lot of Ticket to Rides on the same shelf 😊 *Thumps Up*

It's very fun for me that you mentioned the Colossal Edition of Castles in your honorable mentions list. Me and my gaming group had been given this game a few months ago but due to various issues had just been sitting on it. Well we finally opened it last night, plan on punching out and organizing everything today, with plans to get together on Monday to finally play it. We are very concerned our normal sized dining room table won't actually be big enough for the four of us!

Also, in addition to the Colossal version of the Royal Collectors Edition, we have the brand new (as of Nov) Renovations expansion. I'm curious if that was part of your game at Geekway. I'm really excited to see what it's like to complete a room with dual bonuses.

I really want to play MLEM, and it looks like it was added to BGA recently 😁! I think our favorite at Geekway was Heat! If not for the time constraints, we might have played through the 3 championship seasons!

The new version of Foundations of Rome is titled Foundations of Metropolis, so a generic city theme I assume. It will certainly be more affordable than the original.

My Geekway Top 3 were The Bloody Inn, Zoo Vadis, and Ark Nova.

I’ve played two of those games, but not at a con ha. Ancient knowledge and The White Castle.

I think Harmonies is most similar to Reef and Neotopia as opposed to Cascadia.

The Witcher Old World may be my favorite game that I ended up getting rid of. It was massive, overproduced, took time to set up and table and the teach could be long and of course playing at higher player counts could be painfully long. We played it a few times and I knew I wasn't going to get it played enough and was able to offload it and break even.

have MLEM and Wandering Towers on my shelf of shame. Guess I should get busy :)

[heerdink]

The Witcher: Old World, Veiled Fate, Wild Tiled West, Cascadero/Cascadito, Blueprints of Mad King Ludwig, and Coffee Rush were top new to me he's for this Geekway!
