With GenCon just around the corner, and board game geek releasing their GenCon preview. What new releases are you most excited about?
For me, I'm keen to check out: Galactic Cruise: Gorgeous looking box, Ian O'Toole artwork, and initial comments seem extremely positive. Pampero: I missed the Kickstarter, but still have high hopes this will hit my table one day. Another beautifully looking complex board game. It helps that I'm a sucker for environmentally friendly messaging. Revive: Call Of The Abyss: More Revive? Yes please! One of my favourite games from 2022 gets an expansion. Freelancers: A Crossroads Game: Loved Forgotten Waters, and while this is a different designer, I'm interested to see if it reaches the same level. I certainly love the RPG aesthetic, and hope there are hijinks aplenty! Sea Salt & Paper: Getting a lot of buzz recently, and I'll never say no to small box game. Kelp: The description reads, "A head-to-head battle of wits between an Octopus and a Shark." Say no more, I'm in!
I still can't decide if I should drop in or not. The last time I went was prior to COVID for one day, and planned on being there for all 4 days in 2020, but it got cancelled. I haven't been back...
I still can't decide if I should drop in or not. The last time I went was prior to COVID for one day, and planned on being there for all 4 days in 2020, but it got cancelled. I haven't been back since. How is it now? Do you find it to be worthwhile?
I've never been, living in the other side of the world makes it difficult. But I always like the buzz around the event and try to keep track of any new releases.... Not that I'll see them before...

I was there last year, it was mandatory masks, but attendance was still solid. This year the mask mandate is over and, while I still expect attendance to be below pre-COVID levels, it's looking...
I was there last year, it was mandatory masks, but attendance was still solid. This year the mask mandate is over and, while I still expect attendance to be below pre-COVID levels, it's looking like it's shaping up to be big. True Dungeon makes the trip worthwhile no matter what, pretty much. Plus last year got me into DCC, which is great.
In no particular order: Sky Team looks dope for a 2p game. Weirdwood Manor: Saw this last year in the early alpha, talked with the designer. A round board game?! Could be cool. Oh No, Volcano! looks super goofy but it's a plinko game, how can I resist?
