GenCon will be here in two weeks. As always I am excited but I can’t honestly
say what or which game I am the most excited to see. I am most eager to be with and see old
friends while spending 1:1 time with my youngest son.
Usually my summer game playing is exploding as the summer
passes. Unfortunately, I have played few
games this summer, but the games I have played have been wonderful times. On Tuesday July 10, I drove to northern
Germany to meet a legendary game designer and game collector, Bruce
Whitehill. It was a wonderful time and
he and his wife were very kind hosts. As
the night came to a conclusion, he had shared with me several prototypes that
will most likely be published by a European game company. My favorite game was themed in the Australian
outback.I am planning to attend game night tonight at Pulp Fiction Comics and Games in Lees Summit. King of Tokyo and Mondo will hit the table. King of Tokyo is a fun dice and card game about monsters smash about the city. It resembles the game of King of the Hill that I remember playing as a child. Mondo is a tile laying world creation game. Both games have beautiful graphics.
I read a wonderful article in the Kansas City Star Magazine
today, “A Good Death” by Judith Valente.
