Blitz Con 2017 Recap

February 24, 2017

by Ambie Valdés
Over President's Day this year, we decided to host our own board game convention in the Bay Area! My friends and I had been discussing starting our own convention for a while, since we had some difficult times at KublaCon with finding table space to play games. We decided to brand it with Board Game Blitz, since we could! This year, we were able to get a small conference room at a Holiday Inn in San Mateo, and we capped registration at 50 people. I had a really great time playing games all weekend and meeting a bunch of new friends!

Over the weekend, I had 33 game plays of 26 unique games. I got to play with over 20 different people, a lot of whom I had never played a game with before!

One of the awesome things about Blitz Con was that I was able to play a game with Crystal for the first time in person! Crystal flew in for the weekend, and we got to hang out for the whole convention!

Episode 11 - For Shame!

September 29, 2016

Ambie, Cassadi, and Crystal discuss some games they've played recently, including Junk Art, Monster Factory, and A Fake Artist Goes to New York. We then discuss our shame games - popular games we haven't played yet. In this week's "Board Game Etymology" segment, Crystal discusses the origins of the word "lose."
