WBC 2011 - Who's going?
|
Doing a real writeup is too much work these days. Games played:
Amun Re - 3
Brass – 3
El Grande –4
Ingenious -1
LOTRConfrontation – 6
Lost Cities– 2
Le Havre – 1
Navegador –2
Princes ofFlorence – 1
SaintPetersburg – 1
Through theAges – 3
Tikal – 1
UnionPacific – 2
VegasShowdown – 3
Yspahan – 1
Notes in passing. In Lord of the Rings I lost in the semis to Nick Henning, who went on to win the event, so I guess that's a 3rd place. In Vegas showdown, I came in 3rd in the finals. El Grande, I got close but came in 2nd in the finals (Curt Collins managed to defend his title.) In Brass, I took 1st place, that made my week.
And in Navegador, the game I was looking forward to most because I THOUGHT I knew how to play, I managed two 3rd place finishes in the initial heats.
I did manage to get in the semis for Through the Ages and Amun Re, but came in 2nd in both of those.

WBC 2011 - Who's going?

The dropping prices in Vegas Showdown is an ingenious mechanic. It helps break the rule of most income games of "income first - points later". You can get by with less income if you time your purchases right.
I special ordered Egizia to get it in time for WBC, only to realize in hindsight that it conflicted with El Grande. I would have been thrashed anyway.

I'd be interested in Star Wars: Epic Duels and Fortress America.

Marilyn and I would like try to stop by. Not sure we could stay too late, being the middle of the week and all.

2016 Boardgame conventions
|
I only attend WBC and have for a number of years. As for the others.... ask me again in another 4-6 years when tristan is older.
True story: back before I attended WBC, I had read and heard about Avaloncon. When I finally had enough money and time to think about attending a convention, I could only find references that Avaloncon was no more. But I did find out about the WBC, thinking, well that sounds cool, I'll try that one instead. Took me awhile to realize they how they were related.
And if you ever want to hear a travel disaster story, ask me sometime how long it took me to get BACK from WBC that first year.
