Origins 2017 Wrap Up
Origins is done and in the books and I’ve taken time to recover and come back to the regular world. It was a great time, like it always is, and I got to play a bunch of great stuff.

It’s almost convention season, which means Origins 2017 is just around the corner. With it being a measly two hours away, Origins was my first real gaming convention and one I’ve always enjoyed. BoardGameGeek has their preview up, so it’s time to look at what games are catching my eye.
I spent June 15th through 19th in Columbus, OH for my ninth Origins Game Fair. I love Origins, and this year felt busier than ever. While there were only 15,480 attendees, it felt like there were more people there over the course of the convention. But enough about the people, let’s talk about the games at Origins 2016!
May was a busy month, but in a good way. Lots of games got played, but not a lot of repeats, which means not much was done for reviews. But this sets me up for June to do reviews and talk about Origins. So let’s look back at May in review.
Origins is just two weeks away. While it won’t quite compare to the events of last year, Origins 2015 is looking to be a lot of fun. I’m excited by a number of games that’ll be shown in Columbus.
I’m still dealing with coming back to the real world, but Origins was an absolute blast. More people than I’ve seen in years and quite a few surprises. Here’s a quick rundown of the show highlights for me.
