Summer is almost upon us and a gamer’s thoughts turn from school/work to the convention season. These are magical events where you can hang out with friends you haven’t seen in months, make new friends, meet the creators of your favorite games, and crush your feeble opponent’s faces in person. So here, my fellow HEXers, we give you a primer for where you can meet and play HEX in person this summer!
