Board game lovers from all over the world are focusing on the second-largest board game convention—Gen Con. While many people are already heading to Indiana, those who can’t attend still have plenty to look forward to.
One of the biggest highlights this year is the 50th anniversary celebration of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). There will be many exciting events to celebrate this classic game. The convention guide is 172 pages long, full of various activities. Besides the main hall exhibits and events, the surrounding areas will also have many celebrations, turning the entire city into a board game festival.
For board game enthusiasts, the board game library is a must-visit. Here, you can try out both classic and new board games. Whether you want to explore new games or revisit old favorites, this place has something for everyone. For board game designers, Gen Con is the perfect platform to showcase your work, sign up for playtests, and share experiences. It’s an important place for industry networking and collaboration.
The Business Day is packed with activities, with 110 different events designed for educators, retailers, and other groups, offering plenty of opportunities to participate. The convention also has a second-hand trading area on the 5th and 6th floors of the Marriott Hotel, giving players a chance to buy and sell their favorite board games and exchange resources.
For those who can’t be there in person, Gen Con TV will be streaming live on various platforms, featuring popular games like Dungeons & Dragons, Blood on the Clocktower, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Shadowrun.
Gen Con is not just a board game feast but also a big stage for players and designers to connect and interact. Whether you’re attending in person or watching online, everyone can find something fun here.
Players, what’s your favorite event or activity? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
