Game Night (instcon16)

[jordan]

GAME NIGHT

Gamers gotta game. Players gotta play. We’re talking world domination, saving the planet from viral outbreaks, solving puzzles crafted by spirits of the dead, and fighting demons in mythical worlds along side your friends.

Bring your friends or make new ones. Bring your favorite board game, or play one of ours. We'll meet from 8pm-11pm (or later if we can get a game of Werewolf going). Have some fun, stay up late and roll the die. Odds are you’ll have a good time.

Wednesday eve - mountain house east or west for game night?

[tankovpa]

Can I get my Game Night Badge for posting while I am here on the 2nd night?

[Chris_Hofer]

I don't think I got my badge.  Carrie can confirm I was there...I lost playing King of Tokyo.

[kstern]

New favorite game - Splendor!  Glad I came to game night part 2 tonight!

[davidlambson]

That was a lot of fun.  Can't wait till next year!

[cbarger]

Totally was having too much fun at game night last night and forgot to post in the community. I did send a pic to instagram and twitter though! It was my first time playing 7 wonders. I totally beat everybody (shhh the game teacher doesn't count!).

[zachw]

Game Night #2 was a success. I learned how to play San Juan.

[travis_thurston]

Game Night #2 was a lot of fun. I enjoyed learning how to play King of Tokyo with  @jhough ​.

[jhough]

It was so much fun! I'm so glad I went.

[straigle]

Done and Done. Sorry I didn't get to this earlier, all emails buried.

Regards,

Sean

7 Wonders is a excellent game!!!

[beth_ritter-gut]

Game night was awesome!  Played King of Tokyo for the first time, and met great people from all over!!!

[msl_adm]

And you are good at it...

[gouldt]

Was lots of games to choose from!

[SHEBENE]

I enjoyed several rounds of Fluxx the first night and was content to catch a few Pokemon the next night!

[kub26]

I had a lovely time at game night, and made a couple of new friends in the bargain!! This is a great event, so thanks to everyone who brought games and helped us n00bs learn how to play!

[msl_adm]

Anyone planning on a second encore tonight (7/21)?

[dmallick]

Always up for more gaming fun...and I know I'm not the only one.

[msl_adm]

I have two games with me... and am more than happy to meet up if others are interested. Anyone from Instructure know if the Mountain Lodge will be open tonight, and if there will be games out?

Deactivated user​ also set up a virtual game lobby - we could do that too.

[krudolph_wise]

We had a BLAST talking to and learning from McCall, MattG (the google guy!), and Renee! So. Much. FUNNNNN!!!!!!!

[jordan]

Those are a  couple of my faves Nate! You won't regret! Everyone I've played them with has had a blast and most end up buying them, as well!

[jordan]

Hey Matt and Zach! I love San Juan! if you have it on iOS we should play sometime! Though I must admit I'm rusty!

[straigle]

@Matthew I doubt we have the Mountain House tonight. I'm not there, but a tweet might work as well. I think lots of people did leave tonight as well. Would have loved to play tonight however. With the response we got last night for Part 2, I think three nights might work for 2017! Thanks for the enthusiasm!

[dmallick]

Mountain House was locked as of ~7:30, so I skedaddled, but another vote for a standing game night appointment at #InstCon17!

[buddyhall]

I don't think I got my badge for Tuesday night.

[DaleDrees]

Game Night!!! Had a great time, met some new friends and a new game too!

[zachw]

Thanks, Matt. Mostly I just copied your strategy from the first game and got some lucky draws.

[zachw]

Thanks for the invite, but I'm iOS-free for the time being.

[kschneider25]

dreesd It was fun to watch everyone play Flick 'em up (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/169124/flick-em).  It was especially fun to hear some of the sound effects.  LOL  

[DaleDrees]

I am so happy we had the guys from Oklahoma on our side! Sharpshooters!!! It was awesome to meet you too  @kschneider25 ​

[mmitchell]

Last year was my first time at Game Night and we had a blast playing Ultimate Werewolf so I was all sorts of excited to see TWO GAME NIGHTS this year! Maybe next year we can do all three.

I played (lost at) Splendor and had to go buy it immediately from Amazon. Great game! And Avalon is really fun when you don't know any of the players.

Game Night is now my favorite part of InstructureCon. Sure I go to learn stuff, but Game Night is where it's at.

[raynev]

Hey I never got my badge but attended the first game night. Loved learning how to play code names, and met a lot of new people!

Deactivated user​ hope you can make it next year for a Dixit rematch!

[raynev]

oops, just got it! yay!

[jbrady2]

I didn't make it to game night even though I had planned to be there. The time difference, being from Florida, and all of the walking I chose to do while there just had me too tired by the end of the day.  But, I would like to say thank you to everyone who posted the names of the games here. Everyone has made them all sound so exciting, that I plan to look many of them up, play them with family and friends, and be ready for the next time I am at InstructureCon.

[jordan]

Haha! Yes that was an epic night of games in 2015!

I'm glad you received your badge. Well deserved!

[carrie]

YES!!! WE'RE DOING GAME NIGHT AGAIN IN 2017!!!

It'll be Tuesday night from 7-11pm right after Josh's keynote/kickoff.

Location TBA (because I forget.....but pretty sure its different than last year).

[Chris_Hofer]

Very cool!  I won't be at the conference this year, but I remember learning King of New York (or was it Tokyo) at my last InstCon conference.  I've found some sweet games over the past year that I've added to my collection.  My "shelfie" is growing!
