With messages pinging back and forth about new releases and livestream times on popular digital community platform "Discord," "TBD Gaming" could be mistaken as a chat room for typical console enthusiasts. But, scattered across multiple continents, its members are concerned with a distinctly more analog pursuit board games.
Today in Taiwan, one of my new-found favorite board game conventions is happening, 150BG.con, and I wanted to share with you some details about it from our friend, and one of the organizers of the convention, Smoox.
This is the fourth instance of the convention, which derives its name from the cost of each of the games that will be exhibited: 150 NT$!, around $5 USD. (Even a ticket to the event costs 150 NT$!)
Last year, I was able to play one of the games released at the convention,
矩陣謎語 (Lost in the Grids), a cooperative game where players attempt to arrange square cards in a grid such that no row or column has more than one card of any suit or number. It whetted my appetite to try more of these releases!
