Ashley Gariepy and Justin Gibbons share their thoughts on PAX Unplugged 2018. Make sure to check out our Guide To Board Game Conventions for lots of handy tips on planning your next con trip ! What Sets It Apart? Two of Meeple Mountain’s contributing writers traveled to PAX Unplugged this year, both for their first time. With non-stop events in collectible card games, war games, role-playing games, and classic board games, just about every corner of the industry had some kind of presence at this year’s PAX U. In just its second year, PAX Unplugged continued to draw thousands of board gamers to play the latest products from well over 200 exhibitors. Two years ago PAX Unplugged was launched in downtown Philadelphia and it became the first PAX to focus on Tabletop Gaming. Most PAX events cover a wide range of gaming culture, but have a heavy emphasis on video gaming. PAX (short for Penny Arcade Expo) conventions have had a rapidly growing presence in the gaming industry ever since the first PAX launched in 2004. Arriving with badges, they cheered and some hugged “Happy Gaming to All, at PAX Unplugged!” Out to their cars, they flew on the roads, to Philadelphia with daydreams of board game payloads. When what to their wandering keyboards appear? PAX Unplugged! Oh so late in the year! One more chance for the gamers to play, if they had any more pennies post-Black Friday. The gamers were nestled all snug in their beds, dreams of just one more Con in their heads. GenCon had passed with a roar of applause and Origins was a memory filled with great awe. The wallets were hung on the line out to dry, as credit card bills grew high as the sky. The board games were stacked by the shelfies with care, in hopes that no shelves would ever be bare. Join Ashley and Justin as they recap their experience at PAX Unplugged 2018 in Philadelphia.
