					<description><![CDATA[SOLD OUT ALL DAYS said the signs.  I don&#8217;t know what the stats say, but I&#8217;d say GenCon was completely back to, if not surpassing, the pre-COVID levels of the convention.  GenCon was in full force in 2024, and I love it.  It&#8217;s still everything it&#8217;s cracked up to be, and a bucket list item &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Haven&#8217;t blogged in a while but I have gotten some games in and can&#8217;t wait to talk about them. The main idea here is one of setting up conditions and then paying them off.  It applies to multiple board games, and I&#8217;ll discuss it by looking at 3 fairly different games in Unmatched, Black Rose &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;ve also gone since 2007, and Deri and Mark since 2006, but we&#8217;ve each missed at least one. I remember back when you could, you know, walk down the aisles and see the booths without throngs of people crowding &#8230;]]></description>
