The list:

Warmachine : Three times
Descent : I really like this game. Its a more fleshed out Warhammer Quest type game based on the Doom mechanics, but more in the players favor as opposed to Doom's grim Dungeon Quest style survival odds.
La Citta : Ugly graphics and fussy images on the tiles that can be tough to read, but very cool resource management game.
Saboteur : Quite fun, if not erratic, beer and pretzels dwarven tunnel digging game with a variable number of unknown conspirators a la Bang style
Cash n Guns : Fun gun pointing for cash.
Medici : Auctioning game that has the single worst graphic and UI design set of any game I have ever seen. Truly piss poor graphic design, but the game play is pretty cool. Seriously someone probably let their friend's 12 year old design this because he had a copy of Photoshop he bootlegged off of his middle school's computers.
Through the Desert : Quick and easy game with little bits that look like sweetarts. Don't play if you are hungry for sugar.
San Juan : Puerto Rico card game derivative. Good stuff.
Daimint : More mining fun, Short, sweet... another beer and pretzels thing.
? : A carom (sp?) style dexterity game. Sort of like shuffle puck meets golf on a round board.

All in all this was a pretty damn good weekend. Kubla was hopping as usual. I am glad that Kubla remains a very strong con.

In many ways this con reminded me of the EpiCon that Eric and I worked in one Valentine's Day Con.

One of the guys in the gaming group keeps a log of the games they play and who played. Super impressive list. For the last year and a half they have played 580+ games. Quite an impressive load of games.
