Thanks again for the VLOG’s - looks like it was another great Con. Is that the last of the Con’s you’re attending this year ? We’re about to go into a couple of Con’s down here - PAX Australia in the 2nd week of October, and then a Con we’re (Melbourne Meeples) running at the end of November - Meeplecon - can’t wait 😊

So, my plan for Gen Con this year was to not stand in line for core game purchases. Only expansions, books, dice, and component upgrades. And I held to that plan. So, I had plenty of time to do other things. I had two event tickets per day and then walked vendor hall in between. Starting on one end and zip zagging north and south down every aisle. I had my coupon book since Wedensday. So, that night I tore out all the coupons and put them in order of the route I walked through vendor hall. That alone was so cost saving, because I can easily forget what vendors actually had coupons.
@BeerCityBoardGames20 күн бұрын
That’s a smart way to do it!
@MonsterMotorsportsDiecast20 күн бұрын
The line management was fairly disorganized the first day or two. I personally think that lines should not wrap around a booth. I think if a vendor has a long line, it may work better if the line goes to the nearest outer wall and then moves along the wall. Of course, you need a Gen Con volunteer for every intersection it crosses, so that idea would be more staff labor intensive.
@BeerCityBoardGames20 күн бұрын
Yup, and as the convention keeps getting bigger it’s going to get more and more difficult to manage.
@MonsterMotorsportsDiecast20 күн бұрын
@BeerCityBoardGames 100% agree. At the end of the day, I don't mind the long lines as long as there is enough staff with signs to keep the intersections clear. I would like to add that I felt there were fewer strollers, wagons, and humongous over-sized backpacks, etc. this year, which kept pedestrian traffic flowing.
@BeerCityBoardGames20 күн бұрын
@@MonsterMotorsportsDiecast I saw quite a few large backpacks (mainly the AllPlay game bags), but I agree that it did seem like there were less strollers and wagons this year. Generally speaking, I don't enjoy big crowds but I tend to be more patient with them in these types of situations because it kind of comes with the territory. :)
