Last week Robinson had a honor to win Swiss Gamers Award 2013. 22 Swiss game clubs selected their favorite game of 2013. It turned out they like and respect Robinson. I was very happy and proud to hear that.  This weekend I’ll have a honor to be a guest of Ludesco, Swiss convention dedicated to board games.

Yeah, no coincidence here 😉

Three years ago for the first time I was at convention in France, two years ago for the first time in Italy. Last year for the first time in Ukraine and US. This year for the first time I’ll be at convention in Switzerland and then in China. Each year there is a new adventure. Each year I discover new country, new games, new conventions.  And what is most important, each time I meet new gamers. Gamers that stay in my life, people with whom I keep in touch on Facebook, Twitter, people that became my gaming friends.  Fabien, Christian, Toy, Alan, Oleg and Oleksandr… Every time I go to new convention I meet amazing people.

I can’t  wait to be there, at Ludesco, play games and have fun. Please, if you have chance, visit this convention. I hope to meet you there.

I desecrated Nurnberg fair. I say this straight, I went there and desecrated it. Celebration of our hobby, everybody happy, smiled, everybody’s wearing suit andtie. Publishers present new games, talk about plans, praise their achievements. Beautiful hall, exhibitions, presentations, lasting four days celebration of gaming world.

Well, and me. His Majesty Trzewik, wearing blue jeans, with a backpack on his back, blown hair and a big problem with lackoftime. I ran into halls, I met each partner, with whom I wanted to meet and click, I’m gone. Nuremberg took me six hours and forty minutes.

I exaggerated my objectives point of view for the fair. I had meetings and I had nothing more. In 6 hours I made 10 meetings. A taste of the fair?No. Discovering plans of other publishers? No. Having fun? Nope.

This was bad. This was crazy.

I will never do it again. Next year I will lower my objective oriented approach. I will spend more time having some fun. So, sorry for lack of report from Nurnberg. I have only few photos. And not to many anecdotes…

We prepared cute infographic for Polish version of Portal Games. It shows  how many conventions we visited last year, how many different countries, how many new releases that had premiere at convention and finally how many kilometers we did.

Quite a numbers, huh?

And you know what? When I look at my calendar for this year, it looks like we are going to double this ’kilometers’ number. Ha!

This Friday, at 7PM my time I will be guest of @BoardGamersAsk on Twitter. You can ask me any questions you like, and I will do my best to answer them in 140 characters! To join, just follow #BoardGamersAsk Happy to talk to you guys!
