T'Con Game Priorities

Following up on yesterday, here's my personal priorities among those games I've packed...

Sure to be played (returning faves)

  • Pitchcar (now with Pitchcar Action Set, which I didn't have last year)
  • Formula Motor Racing (random racing fun)
  • Flea Circus (cute cats and dogs as scoring chips)
  • Balloon Cup (simple, subtle fun)
  • Apples to Apples (lots of late-night silly associations)

My Priorities

  • War of the Rings (Grant and I are going to find the time for this one!)
  • Axis and Allies D-Day (Okay, the first two are probably just Grant and I... Ryan may join in on this one, though)
  • Ticket to Ride
  • Bang!
  • Blue Moon (These three I played in NYC and really want to intro to the T'Con crowd)
  • Betrayal At House on the Hill (I have the errata, so I hope we can work around the production issues)
  • Runebound (with first expansion)
  • Pirate's Cove (just looks too good to not play)
  • Cloud 9 (looks simple and fun enough to be well worth the time)

If Time Allows and/or By Request...

  • Memoir '44 (there's already a copy there, so mine is only to allow for the massive two-set Overlord scenario)
  • Citadels
  • Kingdoms (these two have been along the last two years and never quite bubbled to the top)
  • San Juan (Puerto Rico was a hit last year, this is the card game version)
  • Cthulhu 500 (more silly racing, this a little more serious in play than its appearance)
  • Battleline (great strategic game, may get some exposure)
  • Queen's Necklace
  • Coloretto
  • Greed Quest (fun, silly dungeon crawl)
  • Attika
  • Grave Robbers from Outer Space
  • James Earnest's Totally Renamed Spy Game
  • Master and Commander (just too pretty to not bring along)
  • Duell (a new version of a personal favorite)
  • Arkham Horror (Lou asked me to bring it... and it's always fun)
  • King's Breakfast
  • Wheedle
  • Wooly Bully
  • Magna Grecia
  • Mare Nostrum
  • Fightball

I think there'll be fun had!
