b'Opener: Skipped this part since all we\'re doing is talking about (mostly new) games played! Closers: Skipped this, too, but you can think that my suggestion that listeners subscribe & participate in the Boardgames To Go guild as my unofficial closer Geeklist: Post-BGGcon 2019 (with Greg Pettit) \\xa0 (Gregarius) \\xa0 [/floatright]Another year that I didn\'t make it to BGGcon, but of course Greg Pettit did...he\'s an "every timer"! Since 2010 (a decade, hmm...) Greg and I have been recording this episode after the event, whether I was able to join him or not. Greg tells us about the event, its new location, and then about a whole lot of games played. Even oldtimers like Greg & I find ourselves playing new games as well as some old favorites at an event like this. Since these are often first plays of a new game, I like to solicit "1-5 star ratings" instead of BGG ratings. What\'s the difference? Maybe nothing, but in my mind, stars are more of a gut feel after an early play that measures excitement to play again, as well as (or maybe more than) an analysis of a game\'s long-term evaluation. As Greg says, it\'s easier to give 5 stars to a game you just had fun with than to say it\'s a 10. -Mark'
