Like last year, Gen Con was a terrific experience !

Thanks to all the players who came by during my signing sessions (I experienced my first love declaration from a fan… well… with her husband and kid just beside her but geez). The 300 pre-release copies of Samurai Spirit sold out quickly (but I think the first victories may wait a little more :p I told you already, the game is kind if hardcore !)

I showed the prototype of the Takenoko‘s expansion to the publishers and they liked it so fingers crossed ! More information on this project to come… 7 Wonders Babel was presented to the reviewers and to the public. Beside working, I only played a few games (Thanks to Mike Selinger for the very pleasant game of Unspeakable Words) and only one « not mine » prototype  : Conan by Frédéric Henry and to be published by Monolith in 2015. I really enjoyed this first play even if I lost poorly as an evil game-master :D

I managed to miss Naïade (Tokaido, Seasons…) and Merry from Portal Publishing (truly sorry Merry !). I brought home : DoomTown, Sail to India, some Magic cards (thanks Joshua, you’re my man !), Win-Lose-Banana, Blood Bowl Team Manager Foul Play.

Damn, I really hope I can attend next year’s edition !

Have fun playing.

2013 was my first Gen Con and it was a lot of fun. I will be back for Gen Con 2014 (among a growing french team) ! Samurai Spirit (Funforge) will be released at this occasion so the attendees will be the first ones to draw the sword (you can prepare yourself by reading the rules) ! Repos Production and Asmodee will demo 7 Wonders Babel (the game will be released in October).

Here is my signing sessions schedule for Samurai Spirit :

• Thursday : 1pm to 2pm (Passport / Funforge Booth)
• Friday : 2pm to 4pm (Passport / Funforge Booth)
• Saturday : 2pm et 3:30pm (Passport / Funforge Booth)

I should also make a session on Asmodee Booth but I don’t have the details yet…

Have a great Con !

Here are the 16 Shoguns miniatures ! What do you think ?
