Last weekend was the TCEP gaming convention, I had a great time, good to see many friends and a big thank you to those of you involved in running it.
The final tally of games played: 7 Wonders (x4, once with Leaders), Blokus, Dominion (x3), Keltis, Lifeboat (card game, not to be confused with the board game), Roll Through the Ages (x3), Silverton, Ticket to Ride (Swiss), Union Pacific, Vegas Showdown.
Lifeboat was the only new one and I died too soon to get a good sense of it. 7 Wonders definitely still the "hot" game, and deservedly so. Happy gaming.
