It's always good to participate in well-organized gaming events hosted by people who do it for the love of the hobby. But when this event has a Minas Gerais accent, takes place in our land and has an “uai” in the name, the satisfaction is even greater.
As we announced, we were present at the 2nd UAI Board Games, in Belo Horizonte, on the 1st of April. THE Conclave is always participating in events across the country, however, interestingly, this was the first major gaming event in Minas Gerais, Conclave state, that we have participated in for a long time. And what a pleasant surprise!
The event brought together around 450 participants, not counting stores, support staff and members of the organization. It lasted from 10 am to 10 pm! Of course, in the end we were all dead and smiling. It was attended by four shopkeepers specializing in board games. That is, played? Liked? Want to take it home? You can choose who to buy from. There was a food court serving snacks, lunch snacks and tropeiro beans (!). To play all day without getting hungry! There were bags and themed shirt stores, games made available by the organization and by the shopkeepers. Lots of games raffle and lots of fun with games all day!
To the Conclave four demonstration tables were assigned. But, like what happened in the The Meeple, in Niterói, we soon spread through the event. At a given moment of the day we were able to count more than 15 tables with the games of Conclave. The successes were Room 25, barony, Lords of Scotland, Ultimate Warriorz and Dead Man's Draw that just didn't leave the tables. There was a time when there were several simultaneous tables of these games. And, of course, everyone else took turns during the event.
Congratulations to the event organizers for the initiative. We hope that it will last for many, many years, with the same quality, seriousness and competence in the organization. Once again we are very happy to see that the hobby of analog games grows more and more in our country. The 1st edition of the UAI Board Games brought together around 300 people. In this one, a few months later, 400 participants were expected and the mark was surpassed. The challenge will be the location for the next edition, as the audience should grow even more.
In MG, we play BG, iau! See you at an event out there!
