This sounds like the board game specific version of GenCon. The thing about a board game convention is that typically you would not need a "spouse room" or "spouse activities" like at GenCon and I think some of the other larger Cons. Because while a BG freak's spouse may not be as insanely into whatever games the freak is, chances are they can find SOME game they enjoy playing.
I like the "spouse room" concept but this seems like the overall Con is more open in general. ~Luke On Jul 22, 9:35 am, Patrick Pence <[email protected]> wrote: > Me, Sterling, and a few others have been driving over for the last 3 years. > Our contingent grows every year, and we're up to 7- including an old high > school buddy that we haven't seen in years.
