Had to pick between a game night with my old crew or a big convention, chose the crew

Last fall, my regular group wanted to play our first full campaign of Gloomhaven, but the same weekend was a huge con in Chicago. I picked the campaign, figuring the con would always be there. We spent three whole Saturdays around my dining table, and the inside jokes we made are STILL going. Anyone else skip a big event for a smaller game and have it turn out awesome?

Honestly, that sounds like the better choice.

Wait, you got through a full Gloomhaven campaign in just three Saturdays? How is that even possible? That game takes forever to set up and pack away alone. My group spent months on it and we barely scratched the surface. You must have played for like twelve hours straight each time.

My buddy Jeff kept the whole game set up on a spare table in his basement for those three weeks. We did play long sessions, maybe ten hours each Saturday, but the real time saver was never putting it away. It's a board game, not a life goal, so we just powered through the story missions and ignored random side stuff.
