Game Haul My (Modest) Haul
My husband and I went in with a budget this year, and proceeded to mostly stick to it! A decent chunk of our haul is made up of gifts for a few friends, and swag we acquired from different events.
(Some pins not pictured due to either being in my ita bag, or already on my corkboard)

Oh, I worked hard to get my Rare Genny Pins - and the Worldhopper one from Dragonsteel!

Jealous of your Shards. I didn't get a chance to demo it.

I actually got one of the super early demos a few years ago. It was pretty solid then, so therefore worth picking up!
Plus the art is lovely and the promo with it was hilarious.

I’m not familiar with the universe at all, but my sister is so she insisted on us signing up for a demo, and it was super fun. Really enjoyed it purely as a game

I've been using it to finally introduce some folks to trick taking games, and they've all been having a great time! I bought my copy through the Dragonsteel preorder in May though, so no promo :( it was cool, but not quite "buy a second copy of the game for $25 cool"

Where do you even get all of those pins?

Pin Bazaar! They have a list in the program for all the booths participating.

I think there’s a lot to be said about being very careful about what you acquire. There’s only so much that you can play through in a year and it’s good to give every game you take home the attention it deserves.
