Another TCEP down, a great local game convention. Games played: Alhambra, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Golem Arcana, Kingdom Builder, Lanterns, Russian Railroads (x2), 7 Wonders, Shear Panic, Splendour (x3), Thurn & Taxis (x2), Ticket to Ride (Switzerland), Ubongo.
New game of note was Golem Arcana, a computer assisted miniatures game. By the designer of BattleTech and felt it, as the golems were basically mechs with magic added. I was really impressed by the app, miniatures games can often be quite complex and this was no exception, but most of the complexity is handled by the app, making game play much faster and you can just play intuitively without having to remember or look up the gajillion modifiers to this and that. Also the miniatures look great. I doubt I'll buy it as I don't think I'd have the opportunity to play regularly, but would definitely play again.
