I attended the World Boardgaming Championships (WBC) this year from Wednesday, July 24th through Sunday, July 28th held at the beautiful Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania. This year was a bit different as I attended alone because Alexander was on a trip to England to spend time with family and was unable to join me. I enjoyed a full 3 1/2 days filled with gaming, designer interviews, looks at new prototypes, visiting with friends, publishers and designers. This was my 6th trip to WBC (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023) and this is by far the best of all the different conventions that we attend! WBC is an event put on by the Boardgame Player’s Association (BPA), which is a non-profit corporation established to support the shared interests of board game players everywhere. This is a membership organization and I have been a member since 2019.
Upon returning home on Sunday, I set the camera up and just went over my time and what I did for about 40 minutes. I hope you enjoy the debrief and I am looking forward to attending again next year and playing lots and lots of great games.
Also, I wrote a Daily Debrief Series of posts on the blog while attending and you can read those at the following links:
