Great video! Love this format. Probably the best Gen Con preview video I've seen (and I watched a lot). Great work.Quick, punchy overview, with some great little one-liners in there (don't take too much silver!)

[@saluk7419]

"Let's see if sail can follow suit" - I see what you did there.

[@RadarCornflakes]

Sorting by booth number. It's how I sort my personal try/buy list every year. Great video!

[@waldemarcordero5932]

Love this new format.

[@smashbroz4580]

Looks pretty fun! Wish I could go…someday

[@laszlofarkas956]

Thanks for the great video and the recommendations! :) I do not feel a big difference between this and the alphabetic version, but I can imagine it can be a big help for many. But I am eagerly waiting the Essen edition, as I heard, there will be some major changes how they set up the stands.

[@RollforCrit]

As long as I can get a map for it, I should be fine! And someday I'll finally get to Essen so I can experience it myself!

[@chezshirecat1872]

Lorcana is going to go like hot cakes, there was 5000 tickets for the demo and sold out in a seconds. Looking for the ticket to ride game demo.

[@gabdewulf]

Yeah the new format works

[@TheErnieforss]

I hope lucky duck has some dark quarter material. Im ready for that to deliver

[@hoser40k86]

the dice tower did an interview with Curt Covert from Smirk and Dagger and he said he was consolidating all future games under the Smirk and Dagger line and dropping the Smirk and Laughter end, I don't remember the reason though

[@RollforCrit]

Probably easier to just have one company.

[@JustinNichols66]

Great list. Dont think it was on the list, but I heard Arcane Wonders will have some early copies of World Wonders. Also Make the Difference by Oink looks like some goofy fun.

[@edwardking4431]

Would love to have you check out/demo our game Galactic Cruise if you get the chance!

[@RollforCrit]

I'll make sure to stop by! Though I cannot promise a safe shuttle landing on arrival.

[@edwardking4431]

@@RollforCrit Haha! We don't have a booth, so we will be in different places throughout the con. I'll shoot you an email and we can try and set something up!

[@chancethompson4311]

Hey quick question! Do you know any plans for slugfest and what they will be showing?

[@RollforCrit]

I currently do not have a plan to stop by their booth specifically, but I always try to snake threw every isle to see if anything catches my eye. I believe they will be showing off their Red Dragon Inn spin-offs, the dungeon crawler Tales from the Red Dragon Inn and a new Battle for Greyport expansion.

[@chancethompson4311]

@@RollforCrit thank you so much!

[@andrewroy9528]

You had all the Devir releases except Blind Business 😢

[@RollforCrit]

I'm sorry! Devir actually had a whole bunch of games that seem to be very popular, but when I was cutting down my list of games unfortunately Blind Business was one of the games I decided to remove. That wasn't to say I didn't like it! But if I included every game I thought looked good or had a lot of buzz, the video would be longer than Oppenheimer.

[@andrewroy9528]

@RollforCrit haha no worries I totally understand. I hope you get the chance to try it and I'd love to hear what you think of it!!

[@nyghost9991]

Respectfully, as of Sunday the FTC lost the case and Microsoft Activision blizzard Deal will go through

[@RollforCrit]

I heard! Still caused quite a bit of work for Microsoft get Activision Blizzard, and from most of the news I saw during the court case it seemed Call of Duty was really the main star of the discussion.

[@Katana622]

Mostly garbage this year. Nothing good at all. The con is still fun but its mostly shit.
