Confession, I am a little bit of a gamer. A tabletop board gamer, but a gamer none the less. My husband, on the other hand, has his favorite video games and totally dressed up like this for Halloween. Now picture him trying to keep track of our three little trick or treaters in that get up. It was a fun night!
Whether you are a traditional board gamer or a competitive video gamer, be sure to enter the giveaway for tickets to Salt Lake Gaming Con at the end of the post!
Tabletop games are a huge part of our Trost family gatherings. We’ve been playing Ticket to Ride for almost five years every Sunday night. I triple dog dare you to challenge me to a cross-country route race! The United States board with the expansion pack is my favorite, but the European version is growing on me. Before that it was Settlers of Cataan interspersed with games of Aquire.
Growing up it was Risk, Monopoly, and Life. I learned to NEVER trade with my older brother. His analytical game strategy far surpasses mine. We’ve started our own kids on Sequence and Phase 10.
With all this gaming background, it was so fun to discover Salt Lake Gaming Con and I am excited to be giving away tickets! Here’s the 411 on what you can expect at the convention.

I would love to surprise my brother and sis in law with this. They LOVE games more than anybody I know. We love having them teach us new ones all the time.
