Not going to lie, it was my first time bringing a game, I brought the oldest game, a 1932 pure mechanical game, and it didn't hit me til the day of the show, that this thing could be really abused.

But I was astounded by how everyone played my machine, when they did play it, they were very respectful.

On the last day, I felt a little let down because I felt the machine wasn't getting a second glance, but after moving it next to card whiz, while I was playing it, a little girl was enamored by it, with her mother saying don't you wanna play something else?

She said no because she'd loved it.

That moment cemented the game bringer experience for me, and I'm glad to have a wonderful show to bring it to, I'm eager to bring that and my Oktoberfest for next show.

Cheers to staff, I've been to every pintastic and every single one has been a solid show, and cheers to David S for making my first real volunteering an smooth experience.

And cheers to all those homebrew game makers!

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm going to see about spending some time with that plunger and fine tune it, and yeah, I absolutely love EMs.

To whoever brought the ace high for one day, I've been waiting to see that again since the second pintastic, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it Saturday, thank you, and a special thank you to EM bringers.

You can find most DMD games if you look hard enough, but those EMs are harder, cheers to you and whoever brought my favorite, grand slam.

Oh yeah! Was a countertop game and is hard to find in any condition, but this one had the legs, which is even harder to find.

Even with the legs it is a tiny game

I was so glad to be able to play that!

I've brought a vintage game before and I know the risks, and let me tell you, it's a pleasure to see the hard to find ones there, I especially loved playing woodrails there like ace high and China Town over the years.

Thanks to everyone who take those risks and allow us to play those pieces of living history!
