GenCon Roadtrip – VickieGames

Yes, I did. Really. I rented a car. I planned my route. I booked motels. Just like in my board game Roadtrip!, I plan to see as much as I can as fast as I can. Our national treasures - both natural and man-made - await! You can follow along here as I continue to plan, as I visit sites, and as I blog. Stop back by frequently for all the fun!

Playing Roadtrip! on my Road Trip

Yup, I'm playing the same road trip with my game while I'm traveling. Using the rules for scalability, I've set out to play a custom long game of standard challenge with a custom home. I'm playing a turn a day every morning, and see how things unfold as I skirt along the highways.

Vehicle: Wayfarer Wagon (since I am actually in a car)

Passengers: Harvey, Helen, and Whiskers (picked to match road conditions)

Current Status

Board Location: California

Energy: Bushed (1)

Souvenirs: 3

Daily Synopsis

We are almost home. Though the trip has shaped spectacularly, I cannot wait to get out of the car from Harvey, Helen, and (even) Whiskers. Three weeks on the road is enough! We'll be home tomorrow!
