Hamilton is not exactly board-gaming central but what we do have is Boardgames by the Bay, a great little weekend convention by the fine folks at Seriously Board. While not Gencon by any stretch of the imagination you can still go and play games with people new and old in a great setting.
I had a great game of Manhattan Project with celebrity board game designer Martin Wallace, got to see some prototypes in action and met many great people. It was good to see Manifest, the SchilMil game in its final incarnation too.
Seriously Board give away so many games that I don't know how they turn a profit so I always make sure to buy a game from them.
This may be the last year for BGBTB, but there is still one more in November in Auckland so check them out!
