Pintastic 2024 was in Marlborough the weekend of April 12-14. One again I only attended on Friday, but I was able to attend some seminars, patronize some vendors, and play A LOT of pinball.
As always, a highlight of the con was the homebrew room. Great to see (and play) the work and creativity people put into their projects. Jaws, which was homebrew last year, is back as a new game from Stern.
