I can't wait to attend.
I'll be bringing 2-3 EDH decks this year so if anyone sets up a table Thursday I'll definitely join!
PAX East Attendee since 2011
I hope the guy with joust shows again.
I'm bringing Fury of Dracula (fresh off Tabletop highlighting it this week), Betrayal at the House on the Hill w/ Widow's Walk expansion, Dead of Winter w/ The Long Night expansion, Karmaka, Mafia, Pandemic (just the base game), Exploding Kittens w/ Imploding Kittens expansion, and Resistance.
I have a bunch more games I would consider bringing if anyone wanted to play them. Let me know. Twilight Struggle, Through the Ages, Odious Censor, Truths Too Terrible, Japanese The Game, Joking Hazard, Bad Medicine, Cards Against Humanity (several expansions), Drunk Quest and Disturbed Friends.
Robirex - I want to play basically every one of those games. I'm bald, and will be carrying a sign saying "robirex, find me." (I shit you not). There at opening. I intend to bring Secret Hitler, and perhaps some smaller stuff.
lmfao. I'll be there early too. I love Secret Hitler so I'm totally down.
Due to a room conflict this year, the event start time is changed to 5:00 pm . Tell your friends!!
Sounds good to me. More time exploring and settling in on Thursday.
It is looking more like I will bail on the Pokecrawl to come to the Westin earlier. We shall see!

I'll add to @GONG-00 . Last year was my first PAX and thus my first PAX board game night. I wasn't really sure what to expect either. I brought a bunch of games. You'll come downstairs to the Westin (there are signs telling you where to go, it's awesome) to this huge conference room. You'll find someone sitting at a table. They'll direct you to take a piece of paper and marker and write the names of all your games and your table number. Then take a second piece of paper and write your table number. You'll leave the paper with the name of all your games at the front so when others come in after you, they'll see a game they like and hunt for your table. They can either borrow your game if you don't mind or they'll sit down and start playing it with you. Alternatively, you can turn the top of the box on it's side and people know you're looking for people to play that game. There's so many people there man, you'll definitely have a blast. It's super easy too. Just come and enjoy yourself!
Mostly it's been answered above (thanks, gang!) but generally, the important takeaway is this: it's really simple. There's no complex organization or signup or anything, it's more like a giant board game night at your friends' house, only like if you had 300 friends. People bring games, share games, play games and we try to provide a person who can answer any questions when you get there.
For those who are socially nervous about the idea of injecting yourself into a stranger's game, this is a safe space with lots of other awkward people. We do try to make it easy to match people up but also encourage you to get out of your bubble a bit and meet new folks. You won't be alone.

Sadly the train from Chicago doesn't arrive until 8 PM & then I have to check into hotel so I probably won't be able to attend.
I'll be there. I was one of the last ones last year. Someone else can confirm, but I think it wrapped up pretty late. After midnight.
I would even settle for Kings of Tokyo, or Flux. Sadly I own none of these games, but I will be bringing my super-fancy Onyx edition Scrabble, Risk and Harry Potter playing cards. ^^ By the way, just wait til I bring out the Monocle. Then I Get Serious!! /s *mostly
SEE YOU SOON!!
I'd suggest taking the T or walking there.

Go. Tell the folks at the info table what you just said here. They'll find you a friendly group.
I just had a jimmy johns meal for that much.
I'm not shocked, but damn.

Yeah, it's kinda ridiculous. But it pays for the space so thanks for beering it up.
Also, we totally ran into each other at the table and I didn't say anything. Ha. Plus, you were chatting cookies. Didn't want to interrupt.
Anyway, besides that, loved tonight. Played a bunch of games, played some joust, saw new games to check out later, AND got to play Switch (Snipperclips). And it is great playing games with strangers. Had a blast playing Mascarade.

For those still there, the short walk to the bar in the lobby has more selection and draft beers (Sam Adams, Harpoon) are $6-$6.50.
Son of a....
Next year. Ha.
Also, I saw a TON of Secret Hitler being played.
