Convention Game Board

A board game convention will be really cool to attend to see what's new and how it's played before I buy. Its really disppointing to buy a boxed game only to see that its not all it was supposed to be from what's shown outside the box.

I've only attended one board game convention, but that's not by my own choosing. I absolutely loved it.

If you go, be sure to bring several of your own games, an open mind, and a list of games you'd like to try before, as was said, you decide whether or not to buy them!

I've contemplated attending one of these but just did not put it high on my priority list. Do commercial sellers also try to tout their stuff there or is this just for boar geeks to exchange ideas?

I'm sure it depends on the convention... It seems logical that a commercial seller would try to get in if possible.

At the one I went to, there was one stand in the corner by the entrance selling games, but I think that was being run by the convention's organizers.

That being said, there's nothing against selling or trading games with other participants.

Board Game Convention

My main problem with this kind of of setting is I tend to be picky with the people I play with. I feel bad when I have to turn someone down who is eager to play but I don't feel the same way about it. I would just be standing and looking on and that will be entertaining for the first fifteen minutes I guess and then I'm ready to leave.

I would like to attend one of these conventions just to see what all is out there and to see if it is a game I would like to buy. I may have to try and find one close by to go to.
