    Interesting. My son is a gamer. Didn't know it was this popular. He does a game night on Fridays. His game has figures that he paints and then uses them in the game. Sorry can't remember the name of it. Looked like you had fun.

    How fun! I’ve never heard of this con but love board games. Thanks for sharing with us. I have the Axis vs Allies game with an expansion pack. I’d never heard of it and then they were looking for it. Guess I’d best bring it out of storage. Hello, eBay. Haha That looks like a difficult, long game. Love that you all have game nights.

    Does GEN stand for Gaming Enthusiasts Network? That's my best guess.

    • @robertdean52
      @robertdean52 Před 10 měsíci +2

      That’s not a bad answer, but in fact, it’s for Lake GENeva, Wisconsin, which is where the show was founded in 1968, and its home until 1977 when growth caused the first move. Indianapolis is the 4th city to host Gen Con, and its home since 2003.

    • @robertdean52
      @robertdean52 Před 10 měsíci

      Gen Con is all flavors of table top games, with board games probably having the most representation. There are also collectible card games (e.g. Magic the Gathering), role playing games (e.g. Dungeons & Dragons), and games played with miniature figures (e.g. Warhammer), in approximate order of the amount of representation. Plus a whole lot of gamer-adjacent activity; cosplay, crafts, puppetry, music, dancing, etc.
