A luthier makes and/or repairs stringed instruments. There are still luthiers today. They repair/service violins, violas, cellos, string basses. We take my kids' cellos to a luthier when needed. Some luthiers might also work on guitars, mandolins, etc.

If I didn't already back them, I would endanger myself and others to get to Wild Gardens and Undergrove first. Beyond that, Rebel Princess looks like a blast. My friends love Hearts and are mostly all lesbians so the premise of avoiding the advances of prince's sounds like it'd lead to tons of laughs around the table 😂

Then of course I will skip to Tylers booth and wait in line to say hey kiddo thanks for the great content and then mosey over to Ilya cuz I'm old and it's been a crazy day and have a lovely little chit chat. Then grab some food and sit and people watch. Whew! What a day.

Squeee! Thank you for including Ovation and saying such lovely things! I think I'd first run to Ovation just to see that it's there and pinch myself to see my dream come true. Next cuz I totally trust you, I'd head to Pixies and Cities. Then I'd jog with my remaining energy to Wandering Galaxy. I love Plaid Hat's Crossroads system. 🥰

Thanks for the video! Though Gen Con is a 4-hour drive from where I reside, it still will be a while until I attend such a large convention of this sort. Moreover, it's July already and Gen Con is next month already? 😲 I hadn't the chance to look at BGG's Gen Con Preview yet, as I (finally) found the muster to post my hot 10 games of June'24-which _(shameless promo plug)_ included Cities, Captain Flip and Seaside. Three of these 75 games I plan to special order through my FLGS are also Cities, Xylotar and Pixies. (Plus expansions for Beacon Patrol and Sea Salt & Paper.) So focusing on those five games, if attending Gen Con, I would likely walk-don't-run first to *Pixies,* then *Cities,* then *Xylotar,* then *Seaside,* then *Captain Flip.* Obviously a lot more games to be had, as a majority of research for my July hot 10 will come from the Gen Con preview page; will be getting on that fairly soon. 🙃

That was a great list, many of those are on my wishlist as well. The game that I would probably bulldoze my way to (not really, I wouldn't be able to stop apologizing) is Nature. But I'd love to see/demo/get Wandering Galaxy and Slay the Spire as well.
@kovray 25 күн бұрын
Nature is a project of true passion, we're so excited for it, and having played Wandering Galaxy you'll love it if you enjoyed the previous Crossroads Games. We haven't heard too much of Slay the Spire, will have to look into it! Thanks for the suggestion.

You mentioned several that I am interested in. Gnome Hollow and Reef Project are probable purchases for me. I am stoked to demo Nature. A few others that I want to check out- FateFlip - It looks like a choose your own adventure game with cards. not sure if it repayable. But it is also fairly inexpensive so a possibility. I remember seeing Natera last year and I was intrigued. I would like to try to demo it this year. And I want to check out the solo game Witchcraft.

I'm making a run (or a fast walk) for Turnip, the Cascadia Roll & Writes, and Rock Hard 1977! I've played a different card game from Ken Jenkins that's terrific, so I'm sure Turnip is great too. I played the Cascadia roll & write when it was a prototype about roses - it was great then, and I'm sure even better now. And Rock Hard is from a member of The Runaways - enough said! Thanks for taking a look at River of Gold!
