Photos and Games from Major Game Day (June 3, 2006)
|
|
|
Saturday was Major Game Day in Boston. A goodly number of gamers showed up at the Holiday Inn Express for a day of fun. This is a colelction of some of the photos I took and the games I played. Many thanks to the event organizers and to the folks who showed up. I had a really good time. I know there were things I didn't get photos of (Kontor, Roma, Settlers of Catan) so share some photos or stories of your own!

This was a big hit for me and my friends. I had seen Crokinole many times but had never played it. Now I totally want a board of my own. We had a blast with this one. |

This was another new game for us. For some reason, this reminded me of a cross between Caylus and Power Grid, though I can't really put my finger on why. This is one that has graduated to the "probably buy" list as a result of it being at this event. |

While our Maharaja game was going on this Roborally game was taking place the next table over. I liked being able to check out the new Avalon hill version, as I have the older version. On the left is Mike, one of the organizers. |

One of the games I brought was Tongiaki, which at least two different groups of people tried out. Melissa, second from the left in this picture, said she really enjoyed it. She was another of the event organizers. |

I saw a few games of Traumfabrik, but unfortunately didn't get to partake in any of them. Perhaps next time. |

A friend of mine brought his copy of Attika. This couple was busy working their way through the rules. |

Cambrige Game Factory was there blind testing some games to see how the rules worked out. I jumped in at the chance to teach Glory to Rome to Jason and Laura, as I really like the game. After a few rounds they totally had the hang of it. |
