Dale Yu: 4th Report from the GoF – The Prize Table

One of the great traditions of the Gathering of Friends is the Prize Table.  It’s a scheduled event on the Saturday of each Gathering where the attendees get their names drawn out of a hat and get a chance to come up to the Prize Table area and choose a game to bring home.

The games on the Prize Table all donated by the attendees – each one bringing in at least one game to add to the “raffle”.  Many of the game companies that attend the Gathering donate multiple games – so many so that in previous years, there have been multiple rounds of game picking during the Prize Table

At this point in the week, the table is only about 1/3 full – but I thought it would be neat to show what is already up there.

The big ticket table – so far, Antiquity, Big Boss and Hotel Life are on this one

    GoF prize table pics are something I look forward to each year. For some reason, I’m terribly enamored by them. I use to really enjoy Doug’s recordings of the early pics for his podcast.

    There’s an extra special prize this year not yet on the table – you’ll know it when you see it!!!

    Hmm, I hope I get it! Actually, I’m curious to know what I get off the table. I’m having James Miller pick for me… I’m awaiting word from him to see what I get!
