Visitor Testimonials
From families:
"What a fantastic time we all had at AGE in 2007! The organisation was smooth, the traders were friendly, and the gaming was terrific. Both our daughters enjoyed themselves thoroughly - our eight year old competed in the Blokus tournament, and our four year old could hardly believe there were so many games that she could enjoy. They're already asking, 'When can we go back to Albury?'"
The McHarg family - Melbourne
"Yep, the expo was terrific. I would seriously consider coming with the whole family as part of a driving holiday, as I think they could definitely find a day's enjoyment in the expo trying new games and maybe going in the Blokus tournament if that's on again in future years.
Thanks for everything and I hope the whole event continues to go from strength to strength."
Paul Kidd, Brisbane
From teachers:
"The Australian Games Expo was a fantastic opportunity to see adults and children engaging in mentally stimulating, fun activities with one another. What was especially great was to see how relevant to curriculum and key learning areas these games were, and the degree to which kids, paricularly, were enjoying them. Most of all these games are really suitable for use in schools, they play quickly, are intelligent, and utilise and reinforce skills across a broad range of important areas like Language and Mathematics."
Giles Pritchard - Primary School Teacher.
From gamers:
"I would like to thank you for putting together a wonderful weekend. The Settlers comp was fantastic and winning makes it even better. I think you have out done your self. I look forward to coming to Albury again next year and will be telling everyone I know to go. "
Simon Plummer - Winner of the Settlers of Catan Tournament, 2006"Great start to what will hopefully become an Aussie Institution. I will be living in Melbourne next year and will definitely make the trek again.
Thanks to all the organisers. Your efforts were definitely the key to the excellence and smoothness of the event"
Tyrone Busuttil, Canberra
"I attended the expo last weekend and played in the Catan tournament also. I just wanted to let you know that I thought it was a great event.
I very much enjoyed the expo itself, I had not expected to see so many games and individual companies. Playing in the tournament was a fantastic experience, it was played in a very charitable spirit which made for lots of fun, even while losing. I'm really looking forward to attending again next year."
Jeff Davies."The Australian Games Expo is a fantastic family event and a great way to play games, socialize with others, meet publishers and designers, and to generally have a fun time. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who loves games, particularly board and card games."
Andrew Stapleton"I was pleasantly surprised by the emerging depth of the Australian publishing scene."
Patrick Brennan, Boardgame News
"I'd just like to say thanks to everyone involved in organising the event. It was great fun and I will do my very best to come back next year."
Terry Hogan, Sydney"Great time, great people, bigger and better than last year. We'll be back for number 3. "
Doug Adams, Melbourne"Just got back home to Sydney from Albury... it was my first Australian Games Expo and I had a thoroughly great time. I now have a whole bunch of new gamers in Sydney to get in touch with and some gamers in Melbourne to look up if I get down there for business. Big thanks to everyone who beavers away making this work."
Steve McIlhatton, Sydney"The best thing about the tournament was playing tremendously fun games against competitive but friendly players. No one moaned or complained about their numbers not coming up or the robber being placed on them - we all understood that these things are part of the game. ... A final comment on the organisation of the tournament, which was excellent. It was efficiently run with a minimum of fuss. I will be back next year for sure!"
John Clark, Canberra"I just wanted to say thank you for organising the expo this weekend, it was terrific. I can only imagine what an awesome undertaking it must be to organise an event of this magnitude on your own; getting sponsors on board, booking exhibitors, and running the tourneys as well.
You did a great job. I had a lot of fun in the Catan tourney, despite being bundled in the semis :)
I look forward to competing again next year, as well as catching up with all the people I met during the event."
