Musings of a Random Dude
Monday June 19, 2006  | I took a few days off at the begining of June to go to ConsimWorld Expo 2006. This event is a game convention for the serious board wargaming. Not much else is going on there. But if you are a serious board wargamer, it's the best convention of its kind that I have been to. The facilities are good, the activities are well organzied, there are a lot of free door prizes (but I wasn't lucky enough to win one), there are lots of friendly players and wargame industry folks there, and of course the games are great fun! But Arizona this time of year is quite hot. |
This convention specializes in hosting so-called Monster Games which are huge board wargames. Given that emphasis, it's not surprising that the convention is mostly about the playing experience. Some other well respected wargame conventions like the WBC focus on competition and tournaments. My own experience at the convention (playing the monster game Streets of Stalingrad) is chronicled on the ConsimWorld discussion board starting here".
