Sad I won't be joining you all this year. Trip last year was definitely an experience. Made some friends on the way back during the layover in Albany, too! But plane tickets were so cheap this go around (got them during a sale) that it would've been silly for us to take any other way. Have fun, guys! Metal Gear Line should definitely be done at least once.
PAX East 2014: 3-Day Pass [X] | Hotel Room [X] | Transportation [X] | Time Off [X] | Costume [ ]
NEED TWO ROOMS IN THE WESTIN ON THURSDAY NIGHT! Please PM me!
We Didn't Playtest This (At All, Either, and mini expansions)
Hero Brigade
12 Days
Dungeon Roll
Boss Monster (and THK)
Incredibrawl
I'm thinking Carcassonne, Zombicide, some iteration of RISK, and/or Flash Point may make the list, but I don't want to pack too much and a couple of those seem like they may be difficult given the size of the games and number of components to play on the train's tables.
Other games our group should have with us are:
Coup
Citadels
Saboteur
Zombie Fluxx
Werewolf
One Night Ultimate Werewolf
King of Tokyo
Guillotine
Hanabi
Bang! The Dice Game
Eaten By Zombies
Lemonade Stand
Smash Up (and expansions)
Sentinels of the Multiverse
War of Indines
Once Upon A Time
Cthulu Gloom
Given the size of my group we've got quite a few games, so if there are any games someone is wanting to try out or hoping someone else will bring feel free to post that too and I'll see if we have it.
In the regular train cars no, but we take over the diner cars and play at the tables there. There are only 1 or 2 times we have to leave (like dinner for those that have sleeper cars since it's a set time), but other than that they're pretty cool with us playing. People played Flash Point, Pandemic, Ascension, and numerous card games last year without any space issues. Zombicide and Risk may be pushing it size-wise for the tables, but the tables "comfortably" seat 4 and I think we squeezed in 5 a few times.
Here's a picture of the tables in the cafe car for example. They're big enough to handle most games. As long as the game doesn't have a ton of fiddly bits, it should be fine. Card games or games with flat components work best.
Unfortunately I can't remember all that was offered last year. I brought a bunch of snacks/drinks for the way and only bought one meal on the train. I want to say it was like $7-10 for a small meal (sandwich, drink, and maybe chips?)
Super stoked.just got asked to stay at the hotel thursday night free of charge.looks like ill be buying train tixkets tonight aslong as some are still available
It should go into South station with the other trains i would guess, just looked on the site you can take that one or the 174 Northeast looks expensive though.

Wow yeah thats way too expensive how much was yours?
Around 61 dollars i think, i am coming from Buffalo on the 443 LSL (aka Metal Gear Line).
You may want to check out the carpool thread, or even look at flights to see if it is cheaper. But hurry as things are filling up fast (the April 10th LSL is already sold out.)

I'll be flying solo from Chicago this year. It'll be my first year taking the Metal Gear as I've been in Boston for college for all the previous Pax Easts. Super excited about meeting you all. Still lining up what games I'll be hauling with me.
Can't wait, anybody know how the meals are served on the train? does everybody go to a dining car at a set time? or can you just get stuff at any time?

You can grab stuff whenever unless you have a sleeper car. Then you have a set dining time that they clear the entire dining car out for, and nobody else can get anything at that time.
I've got Ascension: Rise of Vigil, along with Blokus Duo (2-player Blokus) and PairsInPears, a really fast word game by the guys behind Bananagrams. Also bringing my bad Magic deck, my 3DS with Mario Kart, and my bad phone for Spaceteam.
Anyone else bringing anything rad?

Those menu prices do not look bad, but the sold out may be a issue i guess we just gotta get there fast before food sells out.
