#TCTC #TerminalCityTabletopConvention

To cap the convention off, all 16 of the games I put in the used game sale sold! Including one between when the market officially closed and when I made it over to get the money. Very pleased that I correctly priced them to move.

Overall a great convention. Played games, met folks, caught up with other folks, enjoyed ice cream in the sunshine by the water. Looking forward to next year.

By Sunday I was very tired, so we stuck to lighter games that we already knew like Cat Lady + expansion.

Found our third player for Res Arcana by shouting "do you want to play Res Arcana?" at the first person that walked by and they responded enthusiastically "Yes!"

Glory to Rome is better than I remembered and I'm sad it's never getting a reprint. Tight fought game over an alternate victory condition.

Introduced some newer gamers to Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam. I was hoping it would be more different, like Istanbul: the dice game or Broom Service: the card game, but it was just very small Ticket to Ride. Good intro or short game, and it was interesting that routes were often as valuable as destination cards.

Afterwards we had a lovely dinner and great conversation with them! Also introduced them to Bunny Kingdom after dinner.

Tried Chai, another one I've been meaning to play for a while, but unfortunately had a rule wrong (you should be able to buy multiple things at the market for one action) so it wasn't fun. Will have to play it again with correct rules.

Too busy playing to remember to take pics of most of these!

Played more games at TCTC!

Finally tried Tapestry, thanks to an experienced group that let us join and taught. Didn't grab me. It was very pretty but didn't feel like it had enough game for the length, and also felt like it had a lot of wildly unbalanced factions and cards where the balance is other players and/or drawing lots of cards, which isn't my jam. Maybe better for newbies with fewer expansions?
