Day 4 of our TTN/BGG adventure is day 1 of the actual BGG convention. I had no idea what to expect, so I was very glad to already have a posse of friends and connections from TTN to keep me from wandering the corridors, aimless and alone, haha.

- Short Circuit – getting the buzz going
The first game George and I ever designed together was based on an idea I had about electronic circuits. We played a few variations on the original game, then literally and figuratively shelved it. Now, years later and with a lot more game design experience under our belts, we are reworking it. First of all,… Read more: Short Circuit – getting the buzz going

On Saturday, the 4th of June, 2022, we attended the Evergreen Tabletop Expo in Redmond, Seattle.

- Tabletop Network/BGG.CON 2022 – 5
Day 5 of our TTN/BGG adventure is day 2 of the actual BGG convention. I had my first 6-player test of this version of The Valley, so that was stressing me out – so glad I got it out of the way, though!

Finally, Saturday! Before the convention, I felt like this was going to be the biggest day – everything would be pretty tame as we ramped up to the busiest day of the week.
