This was our first year at a new hotel, as our beloved Chelmsford Radisson told us it was

Sadly, I had to miss Boskone this year. First time since 2002 that I've missed one. :-(

I'm rather envious of your Codenames lineup; the people I know and know of are all great folks, and the odds are good that the ones I don't know are as well.

(Codenames is one of my favorite games and I plan to bring my copy to every con I manage to get to from now on, because it's compact enough to just keep on my semi-permanent packing list.)

I quite enjoyed Codenames! It was my first time playing, and my reaction after the first round was, "okay, I want to be the spymaster NAO."

It's hard to make a good party game. I wouldn't have expected it from Vlaada Chvatil, but I'm not disappointed.

I call it a gamer's party game, because it has the party game features of easy learning and very good scalability while still being a deep enough game to keep the interest of my regular gaming group at work.

That first picture of you is really striking!
