Gooncon: report and photos
Yesterday a bunch of us headed out to Rangiora to attend Gooncon - a board-gaming day to raise money for the Chch and Japan earthquakes.
I played Puerto Rico (win), Ticket to Ride (convincing loss), and half a game of Space Truckers (?) (was starting to get the hang of, but it was time to go). My passengers and I also took an extended lunch break at a nice bakery/cafe one of us knew.
I estimated there were 20-30 people there, the organisers have reported making $188 for the cause so that's about the right number. (Entry was $7 but I'm sure I wasn't the only one who handed over a $10 note and said "keep the change".)
