The weekend of Feb. 17 & 18th was SaltCon.
Our friends the Schauerhamers went last year and sold Karnaxis.
They said it was AWESOME and we decided than that we would be there the next year...
The Next year has come and we were THERE!
It was from 10 AM on Friday ALL the way until MIDNIGHT on Saturday...
YOU COULD STAY ALL NIGHT and play games if you wanted to!
Which we didn't...we left at about 10PM Friday went to Chili's with the Schauerhamers and then were back bright and early at 10AM Saturday AM!
It really was AWESOME!
Two rooms full of tables where you can and should play games.
They had a GAME LIBRARY.
Stacked full of games that you could check out and play!
If you didn't know how to play, you could put a sign that said you needed the game explained.
If you needed more people to play, you put up a sign that said Players Wanted.
We played with so many people we didn't know...it was AWESOME!
You just sat down at a game and played.
MAN...there just wasn't ENOUGH time to play ALL the games we wanted to play.
But we did get our GAME ON!
We played a TON!
Most of the games we played, we saw other people playing them and made sure to get when they were done. If we didn't know the name of the game, we just explained it to the guy working in the Library and he knew exactly what we were talking about.
At one point I didn't quite know what game to play, so I just asked the guy what would be a fun game. After that every time I came up, he said..."I have the PERFECT game for YOU!"
It was like he knew me and we were friends.
I felt so special!!!!
I didn't get too many pictures because I was too busy playing GAMES!
We entered many Tournaments...didn't win ANY!
We just had a ton of fun!
Our favorite games...
Masters of Commerce
Tumblin' Dice
Dice Town
Any of the Out of the Box Games:
Pirate Vs. Pirate
Shake N' Take
The 10 Days games
Word on the Street
7 ate 9
Spot It
Karnaxis
So forth and so ON!!!!
We met some really cool people!
Two of our faves...Melissa and Jon.
Saturday they played almost every single game with us.
Friday night John was in the Karnaxis tournament and he was the character of Margie.
We had an immediate bond!
We wish we lived closer to them, because they would be our gaming friends!
Jackson did really well the WHOLE time.
In fact we got SOO many compliments about how AWESOME our baby was.
They were shocked he was so well mannered.
(I Love the above picture of his foot hanging out!)
He spent a lot of the time in his stroller.
It was his first time sitting in it like this.
Usually he is in his car seat on the top part.
He loved sitting like this.
The tray was perfect for all of this food.
He drank his bottles...
AND he slept so well!
What a perfect baby we have!
Saturday night the people next to the Karnaxis booth left so we turned their table into a cage for Jackson. He loved being back there and being able to move around and play.
This was after he ran into a soda that was on the floor and got COKE all over him.
That is when we decided he needed to be locked in!!!
All in all it was an AWESOME weekend.
We had so much fun with the Schauerhamers, Mom and Dad Walker, and everyone that we met there. It was a blast. We walked out of there with MANY new games that we bought for a killer price and a new LOVE for board games! Hopefully wherever we move to next year will have a Game convention and we can go Game it UP again!
