Last month wasn’t so great for blog posts, but it was a winner for October meetups and memberships!

New families, new games… it was a busy September meetup at the San Marcos Public Library last week.
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 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…
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…

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…
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…
