August Library Meetup Roundup

We had lots of new faces at our August library meetup! It’s great to have new people to play with, and bodes well for the “organization” as we move into the fall of our second year. It was a good day for current favorites as Roll Through the Ages and Smash Up hit the table….

Board Game Bash Report

Board Game Bash 2014 was held the first weekend of August, and it was a blast! I saw several members of the San Marcos Board Gamers running around, and I hope they had as much fun as I did. Jonathan Grabert has been running this convention for several years now, and it’s settled into a comfortable…

July Library Meetup Roundup!

We had a special guest at last week’s July Library Meetup! Aidan Diaz at the San Marcos Daily Record came by to take some pictures and talk with the group. It’s hard to tell if this will turn into a story — board games are fun, but they’re not as dynamic as Lego events or Pearl Harbor…

Old and New Games at Our June Library Meetup

We had a great turnout at our June library meetup! Lots of Fun People Who Like Games in attendance, lots of games played, and one of our broadest age ranges in both the games and the people.

That said, the big conference table was the perfect size for the whole group to gather and put down a couple of good-sized…

April Library Meetup Roundup!

The dead were on the loose at our April library meetup! Fortunately, they were the polite sort and let us get in some other games too. Short and evil were the order of the day early on, as The Duke, Hey! That’s My Fish and Quicksand hit the table. Hey! That’s My Fish has sassy penguin figures…

March Meetup Roundup

I’m still having trouble keeping this blog up to date, but there’s a good reason for these March meetup notes to be late. The game I’ve been working on was released worldwide on March 27 — it’s called Star Wars: Assault Team, and you can find it on iTunes and the Google Play store worldwide. It’s doing pretty well, but let’s…

February Meetup Pictures

Our February meetup at the San Marcos Public Library went off without a hitch, but work issues have kept me from posting the photos for now. (Never fear, though, the workload should lighten up a bit in coming weeks — either because the game I’ve been working on will be out or the whole team…
