A Day by Day Look at the Gaming Convention: Queen City Conquest 2019

by Leave a Comment

Last weekend Deanna and I had the pleasure of attending Queen City Conquest (QCC), a tabletop game convention in Amherst NY (a suburb of Buffalo).

Between home games and a game night at the FLGS and a rare Sunday night two player game session with my wife, it was a busy week for me gaming. There was one other game I got to play, a review copy of a deck-builder, but I can't talk about that yet. [ READ MORE ]

In addition to playing around in the City of the Gods, I also got in a great five player game of Strasbourg at the FLGS.
Lastly, instead of playing Gloomhaven Friday, I taught Tori and Kat how to play Xia: Legends of a Drift System. [ READ MORE ]
