I participated in a secret Santa exchange and couldn't be more overjoyed with what I received. Three games off our want list. I feel pretty good about the exchange overall as I was able to track down a bunch of hard to find promo and Kickstarter memorabilia for my exchangee. #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #boardgamesofinstagram #secretsanta #orleans #undaunted #crusaders

The unsung hero of PAX Unplugged was the portable power bank I brought. This was a definite game changer as it allowed us to stay out later and provided power for two separate phones. Sitting down to play Bus or something with some length was the ideal excuse to prop this on the table. #paxunplugged #paxunplugged2019

Compared to last year, we were relatively tame on our purchases at PAX Unplugged 2019. Thanks to the virtual flea market, we bought, sold, and traded several games as well as picking some up off the convention floor itself. The theme for this year's acquisitions were mostly targeting older games that had in theory held up to the test of time. Concordia, 7 Wonders, and Five Tribes are all classics that get raved about but are games I've never had the opportunity to play. That will change soon. I also wanted to add onto games we already own. The Western Legends expansions were the only real spontaneous purchase. Of course there were plenty of promos too. I have a love/hate relationship with promos but the idea of being complete in regards to a game won out over my money. All in all, there was plenty more we debated purchasing (The Artemis Project, Wingspan, Bosk, Detective: City of Angels) but we didn't pull the trigger. I'm sure we will in the near future though. #paxunplugged #paxunplugged2019 #boardgames #boardgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #7wonders #westernlegends #concordia #carcassonne #dontgetgot #fivetribes

Playing some Ausser Rand&Band. Cute assembly line dice game. I think this would be a big hit for children. #ausserrandandband #paxunplugged #paxunplugged2019 #boardgames #boardgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #philly #boardgameconvention #pax

Yaaaaaaaaaas As much as a shame as modern horse racing has become, it still holds a soft spot in my heart and Long Shot was a game I always hoped to have stumbled upon somewhere. While I didn't find the older copy, I was deleted to see that a reimplementation as a roll and write will be hitting Kickstarter in 2020. I'm super stoked to see this come to fruition. #paxunplugged #paxunplugged2019 #boardgames #boardgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #philly #boardgameconvention #pax #rollandwrite #longshot #horseracing

No spoilers but Don't Get Got was a perfect purchase to play in the background of PAX Unplugged. We're already on our second game and I can't wait to introduce this to a larger group. Basically, this game is played in the background of other activities and has players trying to get other players to do stuff for them without them realizing it. If you like social games, I'd highly recommend it. #dontgetgot #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #philly #boardgameconvention #partygames
