Chi-TAG - Chicago Toy and Game Fair

Navy Pier (map)

Selected By: Nadine Sehnert

Mike and I will once again be traveling to Chicago for Chi-TAG. They have moved the location back downtown Chicago at Navy Pier so it should be better attended this year. Also, with it right downtown there are other things to see and do as well.

The web site ( http://www.chitag.com... ) is also listing Games 24x7 - a weeklong around the clock gaming experience free and open to the public sponsored by Rio Grande Games and including the latest releases from the Essen Game Fair in Germany.

So, Mike and I are probably going to take the Megabus (www.megabus.com) and for a total of $70 both of us can get there and back.

If you are interested in attending let us know and we'll try and coordinate some of the travel.

Is anyone going to BGG Con? I know some of you went last year. Post a message if you are.

    Although we didn't get to see the games from Essen like we had the previous year it was still a great time meeting everyone and seeing old friends. Next year, let's all go to Essen!!!!
