Day 1 started with me showing how bad of a friend I am. When Jason signed up for events he included a ticket for me. My first event on Day 1 was a game that I did not get a ticket for Jason. So, we went our separate ways while I played Discworld: The Witches. This is a fun game. You play as one of the witches living and training in Lancre a magical land full of problems. It is a cooperative game in which you keep track of victory points to find out who won better. The game has a fun sense of humor. Fun things like the location names. In the pic is a card the depicts the location "The Place Where the Sun Does Not Shine". There is also a location named "The Long Man" and the graphics at the location is quire phallic. All that aside, I had a good time playing the game. We won, but I was not the overall winner. No surprise there. If you get a chance to play this game, I recommend giving it a try. We won rather easily. So, I don't know if this is a game I would own.
In the vendor hall I got to demo a game called Valerian: The Alpha Missions. It is another cooperative game, and it is based on the movie Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. You go around in the city made of random tiles and fight the monsters. I had fun, but the demo was setup for an easy victory and I did not get a feel for how challenging this game actually can be. I want to try it again as the full game. The jury is out on this one.
After vendor hall wandering and eating at the food trucks, we meet up with Bill, Alex, Josh, and Jody to play some games. They started off the night with 7 Wonders. I had played 7 Wonders a few times before and did not like the game. Granted those who try to teach me the game did not do a good job and I felt like I had no idea what was going on. Well Bill and Co. are good at explaining games, and now I know what the hell is going on in this game. I actually liked it this time. Naturally I did not even come close to winning the game, but no surprise there.
We played Sagrada next. Sagrada is a dice rolling and placing game. You are trying to complete a stained glass window and gain victory points. The game is pretty and has bunches and bunches of colored dice. Who doesn't like dice? I liked this game so much that I ended up buying my own copy. I love it when that happens.
Everyone from Prolific was tired. So, Jason and I left so they can rest. Back at our hotel we played four games of Santorini. Santorini is an abstract game for 2-4 players. Seems best with two. You are trying to build your structure before your opponent. There is a variant you can play by adding god 
I finally made it to GenCon. It was 2011 since I was last there. Even though I have been wanting to go, things just didn't line up. Until now. I went with my good friend Jason. We drove up Wednesday in hopes of getting my badge before the crowd gets too crazy. I was foolish enough to not have my badge sent and had it waiting at Will Call. Not smart, but whatever. Once we rolled into town and checked into the hotel, it was time to walk over to the convention center and start standing in line. Standing in line with an expect 70,000 attendees sounded like a very bad scene, but to GenCon and the convention center staff getting my badge went rather quickly. At first I saw the line and thought I was going to be there for hours, but it was only minutes and I was free to enjoy. So, we walked around a little. The green library was near the big traffic circle I had to walk by every day to get from convention to hotel. I love this idea. KC has smaller ones that individuals make themselves. This is the first time seeing one created by the city. I assume it was the city anyway. The big obelisk was at the center of the before mention traffic circle. I like the architecture and statuary of downtown Indy.
After badges were secure it was time to get some food. There are a lot of choices near our hotel and we just wandered until something struck us. We found a Chicago style pizza place and decided we have walked far enough. I can't remember the name of the place, but they had this cool sign. Pizza was good and the staff friendly. We noticed some people playing a card game near by and knew we were home.
After a long drive getting there, walking around, and being full from dinner, we decided it was time to go back to the hotel and do some gaming. I was hoping we would have a lot of people gaming or looking to start a game with others. This was not the case. People in our hotel gamed in their little pods and that was that. So, Jason and I played the only two player capable game we had - Tiny Epic Quest. I had never played before and thought it sounded like fun. Just like any other Tiny Epic game, there is a lot in those little boxes. Pictured is the Item Rack with all the tools available attached. I never did get any of these items, but it was cool seeing them displayed like this. As you will notice as I talk about the games I played at GenCon, I rarely win. This game was no exception. I lost. It wasn't close, but I had a good time.In this episode Kip talks about all the games he played at GenCon.
