Title: Tips for Running a Game at a Game Convention Post by: Gwommy on November 04, 2009, 05:51:09 pm Does anyone have any tips for running a game at game conventions? I'm planning on running a Mega-Carcassonne game at an upcoming game convention in Detroit (Wintercon) on Dec 5. I'm planning playing a game with all of the expansions! I'm guessing for it to take up a 4 hour time slot. It'll be my first time ever even attending a gaming convention. Let me know if you have any tips or info for me. Thanks!

If you can devise a method to make the game run quickly, I'd try that. I think then you might be able to make it fit.

If you are playing Mega Carc, I really hope the players are not new to the game. That can be an astounding amount for a new player to absorb in one sitting.
Most of all, have fun. Sounds like a blast. Title: Re: Tips for Running a Game at a Game Convention Post by: CKorfmann on November 04, 2009, 11:09:16 pm Too bad you weren't a little closer, I'd try to come.
