K2 convention games log

[amcathra]

The K2 convention in Killarney was great, as usual. The only annoying thing was the timing -  it clashed again with Itzacon in Galway, which I keep missing as a result.

I'm using this blog for my games log as I don't write here very often anyway. This is the beginning of an attempt to track what games are popular over the years, as the sort of info that normally is ephemeral and forgotten.

Friday

• Dominion
• Pandemic

Saturday

• Eclipse (the new space empire boardgame from Finland), 3 players
• Carcassone, 5 players, played by iPad, multiplayer by tablet a first for me
• Quarriors
• Sets
• Hextremity

Sunday

• Agricola, with Dave Roe's wonderful set of Fimo figures on the farmer counters.
• Articulate
• Strange Synergy, 3 players, coming down to gluing down the invisible flagbearer my team was pursuing
• Pandemic with the On the Brink expansion, 4 players, just with the new events and two new roles. Played Roles were Medic, Scientist, Troubleshooter and Generalist
• Antike, 4 players, as Greece I was  in the middle of the map and squashed between the other powers.
• Chrononauts

Monday

•  Dominion
• Glen More

Boardgames I heard of or saw being played included Indonesia, Warrior Knights, a pseudohistorical global colonialism game I can't remember the game of, Game of Thrones.
I saw Werewolf the social game being played, though I declined to play myself as I realised I didn't like the witch-hunt/ deception elements of the game.
RPGs included Pendragon, and a white wolf WoD game of some sort.
