Market Spring 2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This show has grown considerably in my absence! I attended the first Tokyo Game Market, the only show focused on table-top games in the country, many years ago during my first stay in Japan. At that time, it was held on two floors of a public-use building in Asakusa. Eventually, it grew enough to move to the Tokyo Big Site convention hall. This year, it was half again as large as my memory of the last show. Game companies spent some real money on booths, presentations, and displays and the self-published area seemed to go on forever.  Unfortunately, all of the games are in Japanese, so I usually do not buy much at the event.  I was content to see just how strong my favorite hobby is becoming here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab\u306b\u4f4f\u3093\u3067\u3044\u308b\u9593\u306b\u3053\u306e\u30a4\u30d9\u30f3\u30c8\u306f\u5927\u304d\u304f\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u6614\u3005\u3001\u79c1\u306e\u6700\u521d\u306e\u65e5\u672c\u306e\u6ede\u5728\u4e2d\u306b\u521d\u3081\u3066\u306e\u552f\u4e00\u306e\u30dc\u30fc\u30c9\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3068\u30ab\u30fc\u30c9\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u306b\u7126\u70b9\u3092\u5f53\u3066\u305f\u6771\u4eac\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u30de\u30fc\u30b1\u30c3\u30c8\u304c\u51fa\u73fe\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3000\u305d\u306e\u3053\u308d\u306f\u6d45\u8349\u306e\u516c\u6c11\u9928\u306e\u4e8c\u968e\u3092\u4f7f\u3063\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3000\u305d\u306e\u3046\u3061\u306b\u6771\u4eac\u30d3\u30c3\u30b0\u30b5\u30a4\u30c8\u306b\u5f15\u3063\u8d8a\u305b\u308b\u307b\u3069\u5927\u304d\u304f\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3000\u4ee5\u524d\u306e\u30a4\u30d9\u30f3\u30c8\u306e\u601d\u3044\u51fa\u3068\u6bd4\u3079\u3066\u4eca\u5e74\u306e\u30a4\u30d9\u30f3\u30c8\u306f\u4e94\u5341\u30d1\u30fc\u30bb\u30f3\u30c8\u5927\u304d\u304b\u3063\u305f\u3067\u3059\u3002\u3000\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u306e\u4f1a\u793e\u306f\u9ad8\u3044\u30d6\u30fc\u30b9\u3084\u767a\u8868\u3084\u5c55\u793a\u304c\u9ad8\u304b\u3063\u305f\u3067\u3059\u3002\u540c\u4eba\u8a8c\u306e\u5834\u6240\u304c\u5e83\u304b\u3063\u305f\u3067\u3059\u3002\u3000\u6b8b\u5ff5\u306a\u3053\u3068\u306b\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u304c\u305c\u3093\u3076\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3060\u304b\u3089\u79c1\u306f\u3042\u307e\u308a\u8cb7\u3044\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002\u3000\u4e00\u756a\u597d\u304d\u306a\u8da3\u5473\u304c\u65e5\u672c\u3067\u5f37\u304f\u306a\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3092\u898b\u3066\u5b09\u3057\u304f\u611f\u3058\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-06-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"770\" data-link=\"http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-06\/\" class=\"wp-image-770\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-06-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-06-150x100.jpg 150w, http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-06-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-06-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-05-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"769\" data-link=\"http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-05\/\" class=\"wp-image-769\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-05-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-05-150x100.jpg 150w, http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-05-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/bradweier.com\/bradblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tokyo-game-market-spring-2019-05-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Brad&#8217;s Gaming Abodanza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Okusawa, I taught my old, favorite Bohnanza to some new gamers, as well as my less favorite Guillotine.

Finally, I gritted my teeth through Salem, a Werewolf-style game, which I despise, because I was being such a good sport. In Kanda, I thought another old favorite, Hey That&#8217;s My Fish, and tried a Reiner Knizia classic card game that was new to me, High Society.
