Ok time for another report from Adam. This time he’s showing us the Cardhalla, a charity event they have been doing at Gen Con since 1999.
It involves building a city from donated trading cards (like Magic: The Gathering) over a few days during the event, then throwing coins at it till it’s just a ruined pile.
The coins are then collected and donated to charity.

That looks like sheer mayhem.. but absolute fun 🙂
Cool! And by the way: thank you very much for this amazing work you did for us. I wish I could have been there but the travel cost alone is too much for me, so I am very glad about all these videos.
Great to me you Adam and of corse play some Vortex with you.
Great to meet you, too. It was fun to get stomped by you in Vortex and I’m really looking forward to reading the rulebook.

at least no one took down what looked like Big Ben if that was made of cards (i could be wrong)
Well, Adam seems to be suffering a bit as the days pass, they must be some really long hours hes working at Gen Con. So, I just wanted to say, again, thanks, we all take the internet for granted a bit these days , but to get coverage of an event like gen con 3000 odd miles away pretty much as its going on is pretty amazing stuff really,I can remember when this sort of trawl round the exhibits stuff was a big deal for TV companies at things like the UK Motor Show, so, Adam may be completely knackered,… Read more »
Well done Adam. You look shot, so if you need a break next year let me know. It’s only an 18 hour flight.
I appreciate the comments, guys. It’s a lot of fun and great to meet everyone, but it is pretty tiring. Glad I thought ahead and took Monday after the convention to rest and decompress. I’m currently sitting in my local coffeeshop, catching up on non-gaming email, having a bagel and a red eye, and reading some of the gaming books I picked up at Gen Con.
