Gen Con has come and gone, but what games were the hottest? We talk about the convention (that we didn't make it to), and the games worth playing out of it. 

First up, though, is our question of the week: What's a game you've never played without the expansion(s)? Are there any that you'd never go back on?

• Acquisition Disorders: Origins First Builders, Verdant
• Game At the Table Reviews: The Golden Ticket Game
