My daughter and I will be there! We won’t know anyone else, so it’s nice to hear how easy it can be there to meet new people and play. Hope we get to meet you, we’ve been making a list of games we want to try and your videos have been a great help with this!
Well, I had been looking at both Tantrum Con and Level Up and had been on the fence....until I saw your video. You were so upbeat and welcoming that I went ahead and booked Level Up! Hope we can get a game in or at least say hi. James (from Brooklyn) See you there!
Level Up Retreat last year was my first board game convention, and I went there by myself too. I was meeting up with some people from a Discord group, and that wound up being a blast, but I also appreciated the "looking for player/teacher" flags and used those when I first arrived.
Will be our third LevelUp. Wouldn’t miss it. Anyone on the fence, don’t be. Hoping this time we can meet you and Kim. Been enjoying the Buzz more and more.
For you to look the way you do and yet be in a notoriously 'geeky' (in the pre-2010 sense when nerd culture wasn't cool) hobby. Gosh, what a lucky hubby you have. If only my girlfriend could be as into board games as you are
My wife and I got our tickets immediately when they went on sale (I think she has badge #3 😂). We've been to Pax Unplugged a couple times, but this will be our first LevelUp. I'm super excited to meet you and Kim and play some games together!!
Thanks for this video I’ve been looking for a really good breakdown of this con. No one has really been promoting and talking about it and it’s only weeks away. Saw yours and board game Co vlogs of last year (hope you’re ok with the parking garage this year 😮). Been to other cons and I am really looking forward to this one since it’s more scaled down. Thanks for the video and hopefully get a game in with you all. 😊
We have yet to attend any cons, but this one has really been on our radar. Everything about it seems like exactly the kind of event we would be into - smaller, playing focused, NJ is drivable, lots of opportunity to mingle - it all makes sense. And the timing even coincides with kicking off our own channel in this new year! Sadly, life is pretty hectic right now and I don’t see it happening 😞 But you never know, maybe an impromptu decision is right around the corner 😂 Hope you enjoy and have a great event!
Darn it! This retreat sounds great! And I'd love to meet you, and Alex. But I'm already booked to go to Tantrum House con, and I don't have the budget to do back to back events. Also, do you know of any game retreats that are further south? I'm in GA. So NJ is a 13-14 hour drive for me.

SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU HAD FUN!

Thanks I checked out your top ten video for 2025, I'm kickstarting Avalon. Thanks for the great info
I wish I could afford to go to some smaller cons like Level Up Retreat. I would totally play games with you.
Great ambassador for promoting and playing games.
Oh wow, I hadn’t heard of this! Sounds interesting! It won’t work out this year but I’ll have to keep it in mind for next year :)

Darn! I'm already booked for another convention the week before. Maybe next year! Have fun!
Awww bummer! Next year, for sure! 🎉

I agree with you about making the friendship connections. That's most important.
❤️❤️❤️
Darn! can't make it. It would have been lovely to meet and play games in person. Have fun!
Would love to go but can't. Love your game shelf! ❤ Where did you get it? Im looking for a sturdy shelf for my games that is not a cube style shelf.

Dice tower East?!
@ It's more of a convention isn't it?
The answer is yes. I'm counting on you to play with Jenna and I on Voidfall. This requires planning.
YASSSSSSS🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wait what yes
AHHHH!! YAYAYy!!!
I much prefer the playing conventions to the selling ones
SAME!
Only an 8h drive. If I wasn't otherwise engaged somewhere else it might be tempting.
