Another year of BGG.con. This time, instead of writing long and detailed posts, I tried micro-blogging the gaming via twitter.com.
The game highlights were:
The games that I didn’t like were:
I also found three restaurants that I liked: Ali Baba (Mediterranean), Babe’s Chicken Dinner House (in Carrollton), and the Czech Stop. I didn’t like Campisi’s Egyptian restaurant or Big Fish.
Full twitter posts after the cut…
Just finished a Rudy’s breakfast taco. Driving north towards the big D!
Second speed trap so far. Trooper pulled out in front of me to arrest someone else.
And the fourth trap…
Starship Pegasus? Food?
@edroz I’ll take the fifth on that one
@cyndilou If you want me to respect you, then yes. 😉 I am lugging 20 pounds of gear
Arrived at Dallas, eating at Campisi’s, gawd drivers are frackin aggresive here.
At the mega-sized Half Priced Books
Starting After The Flood with brookscl and Jim
Eating seafood at Big Fish
Now playing with Ghost Stories with martang, kafka0622, and r3gamer
Martang played a rule wrong and made the game much harder. We died.
Checkin was mass chaos, but I scored Mordred!
Starting Krakow 1325AD
Won by a pip. Like Cities better than Krakow.
playing Der Schwarm without English rules, what a cluster fsck… Abort people, abort!
Zev teaches us the game
This game is painfully slow. Also, the are picking on the last place person rather than their competition. Odd.
Playing Tichu!
Playing Big Boss
Photography meetup yo’s!
Playing Super Nova, was taught by the developer
Hrm, are the special powers unbalanced?
Sigh, it seems that this game is a hit them while you are down game. Scored 0, then was wiped out. Not fun. Thumbs down.
Playing Princes of Machi Picchu
Playing Roll Through The Ages. Woot!
R.T.t.A. is kewl. Me likes.
Played Wind River. Liked it. Thematic, brutal.
Eating at Ali Baba… Mmm, Mediterranian
Food was surprisingly good: recommended!
Texas Holdem is starting. Fate demands that I sit upsteam of @buffyburnett http://twitpic.com/n7cs
Aces and tens took you out Bluffy. Sorry 😉
All out. Boo. But at least I had a flush and straight draw…
Playing Powerboats, took a risk, rolled snake eyes, it payed out! Woot!
Flea market is starting and I am in a price war with @MWChapel http://twitpic.com/nay4 !

Starting Liebe und Intrige… Wonder if I can marry off my daughters…
@MWChapel says “there are up to three gentlemen face up underneath your daughter”
Playing Duck Duck Go with the author… It’s good to be at a game con.
Came down to a photo finish and i drew too high… ;-( still fun though http://twitpic.com/ndk8
Trying Nice Weather out
Playing Heads of State. The author is at our table.
Killed everyone in Heads of State (+30 to second place) … Interesting game
Starting Wabash Cannonball… Woot!
Grr, this game turned into “table talk, beat on the perceived leader”. That fucking sucks!!! These newbies don’t know yet. Bad @MWChapel!
Playing Space Alert – boring so far – zzz
Playing Municipium with @brookscl and jim
It looks like R-Eco will be the last game of bgg.con!
So long and thanks for all of the games!
Ate at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House in Carolton. It was great.
- stopping at the Czech stop http://twitpic.com/nn61
Perfect sunset right now… Shame I am on the road
What did you think of Duck Dealer?
Ah, yeah I forgot about Duck Dealer. I was lucky enough to buy a copy at Essen. I like it. The only negative thing about the game is that it gets hard to track all of the actions performed during one turn in case someone needs to undo something.
