Even just being able to show people our games I think is a great part of the IGNM.

And empty tables can be a turn off for buyers, so as long as the table isn't already packed taking a look helps!

Some games being more popular than others is fine.

But the format seems to really encourage people to just buy what they want and then leave.

It was impossible for people to casually look over at the nearby tables and maybe see something else that might be interesting.

TM: The Dice Game wasn't bad at all. I think it just got lost in the shuffle of the original and Ares.

I've heard Aligned Left is better, since people have an easier time reading it. The only justification I can think of for Justified is if you have very close columns (since it creates a dividing "line" down the middle).

Good for if you wanna reapply back at the same company, I suppose.

Umurangi Generation definitely. One of the best games I've played, just for the atmosphere alone. It's not terribly long either.

Probably Doom.

I was too young to see R rated movies at the time too, so I had to drag my dad to it. He still (lovingly) gives me shit for that.

Next up is local friend Mike Trias. His first game was Upstaged, and now he is crowdfunding DJ Icon. The turntable mechanism has always been a highlight and players can use real vinyl to play the game!
