Cincy Con 2011

GC decided to drive 5 miles to a local gaming convention in our city of Cincinnati, OH. This was our first visit to this con and its second year running. I was very impressed with the attendance and went straight to recording the event. We only had time to stay there for a few hours but managed to piece this short documentary for you.




It was great meeting new people in town and a new store that I haven't heard of. If you live Cincinnati you should check it out. They are called Art of War and specialize in miniatures: http://www.aowcincinnati.com/.

We also discovered a new board game that will be releasing called Scrumbrawl. If you want to check that game out go to http://www.scrumbrawl.com/.

And we got a quick glimpse of the new expansion for Ascension: Chronicles of the Godslayer.  We really can't wait to get our hands on the new expansion.  If you haven't checked our review on Ascension yet then you should.  It is a great deck building game similar to the Dominion series.

But out of all the events and demos I was mostly impressed with the Warhammer tournament they had.  There was both Warhammer 40,000 and regular Warhammer. We might expand into looking at Warhammer soon if we have the time and resources because I love the game.  And the miniatures community here in the Midwest is great.

Overall, Cincy Con got a good first impression on me.  It is awesome to get small local conventions in our city.  And there are many more small local conventions being held in other cities too!  So if you are a gamer and want to have more interaction, then search online or at your local gaming store to find any upcoming conventions.  Because it is fun at the expense of driving a few miles from home.
