GamesCon18
Review of the day
Sorry I have not maintained updates throughout day, but became to engrossed in playing games and talking to new people.
I will now share the few other photos I took in between having a great time.
Sorry no photos for the next games.
I also played Camel Up a fun little game where you bet on the results of camel racing. Although fun, not a game I would buy as not to sure of its replayability.
I then met up with an old friend and as well as catching up a few of us played a couple of card games of Port Royale, a push your luck card game very enjoyable although I lost very badly.
Final Thoughts
Considering this was the inaugural GamesCon I have to congratulate the organisers on creating such a friendly and welcoming Convention. There was a great mix of people of all ages (kids were welcome) and what was really promising for our hobby an almost equal split of males and females.
There was a good mix of boardgames (all available to borrow from the two shops in attendence) a few miniature games and roleplaying opportunities throughout the day, though I would like to see the range of RPG’s broaden though that is down to the likes of people like myself to actually offer to GM, which I will definitely do next year.
Everyone I spoke to said they would be returning again for next years GamesCon. So hopefully we will see another expanding Gaming Convention in the South.
Hopefully I can add some more pictures if I can get the organisers to share with me.
Looks like it was a good idea. I’ve been considering picking up Starfinder, I’ve played plenty of D&D, so Pathfinder never appealed. A nice sci-fi game with strong D&D roots might be nice.
