Convention Previews Are Live for BGG.CON 2019 and PAX Unplugged 2019

Convention Previews Are Live for BGG.CON 2019 and PAX Unplugged 2019
From gallery of W Eric Martin
With SPIEL '19 in the past — but with plenty of images and notes still to be uploaded and posted — I've now released convention previews for both BGG.CON 2019 (taking place Nov. 20-24 in Dallas, Texas) and PAX Unplugged 2019 (being held Dec. 6-8 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).

Neither convention comes close to the size of SPIEL, but publishers at both shows will be selling new games and demonstrating upcoming releases, so I thought I'd create previews anyway to highlight those offerings. Some publishers are taking preorders for pick up at one show or the other, and if you are a publisher who will be at either location and who hasn't yet received an info survey from me, please GeekMail me and I'll shoot the link over to you.
