With the expo kicking off Friday and my expo experience starting tomorrow. This will be the last Road to post of 2024.

In something very out of the norm for me I’m actually prebooked on a demo for the boardgame Yonder. I know absolutely nothing about the game except that it’s by the favourite designer of Sarah (Boardgames in a Minute) Haakon Garder. Sarah very kindly invited me to join her on the demo and handled the booking.

Earlier on the same day I’ll be playing Inventors of South Tigris with Sarah and Luke Hector (Broken Meeple). So it looks like finally I’ll get to not only meet Luke in real life but play a game with him.

I’m also going to be picking up a couple of games at the expo. Marcin and I have both bought games before even stepping foot in the halls of the expo. That’s the danger of For Sale posts with collection at the expo going up on the Facebook groups. I’ve managed to get a well loved copy of the Gears of War boardgame. There is no way I could have afforded one in much better condition. The money they go for is ridiculous, well over a couple hundred quid.

I’ve also decided I’ll be using my Markill Peak Ignition gas stove to heat up my evening meal of 6 bean chilli. It could have been my og Jetboil but I wanted the flexibility of which pot I use. Which I haven’t decided yet.

Right next post will be me at the expo.
