Geekway to the West

St. Louis, Missouri

Approximately how many people attend?

300 (and growing year on year!)

Is it open to the public, or invitation-only?

Geekway to the West is open to the public.

What type of games are played at this event?

Board and card games, mostly Euros.

Why do you enjoy this event so much?

This is an event with four days of uninterrupted gaming in the St Louis area, which is local for me. The focus is on gaming, rather than vendors, so there's lots of gaming to be had.

There's a "Play and Win" - many new releases are donated. The more you play a copy of a game, the more chance you have to win it.

Cheap - only $25!

There's a big game library, and people bring their own games too.

What's not to love?!
