Can we have a second Gen Con? Ok, we’ll wait until 2025. Join Suzanne and Conesy as we recap our experience at this year’s Gen Con 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Gen Con is most certainly a different convention from any other in the world, and there is always far more to see and experience than there is time in the 4 days to find. We’ll share our favorite experiences and games that we played over the BEST FOUR DAYS IN GAMING!!!!
If you were at the show, make sure you let us know what your favorite experiences and games were at the show in the comments!
Dice Manor is a recent addition to the game library. WiscoDice was given this game to review from Arcane Wonders. In Dice Manor, you play as a developer who is building a lavish manor. You start with just a foyer, build your manor up, market it, and give people tours through this ever-growing manor. Those who manage to build the finest manor, gather the best rooms, and provide first-rate marketing for their manor, will be the victors of this dice-rolling game with a bidding mechanic. Do you have what it takes to build a fantastic manor?

When I started prepping for this week’s Kickstart Monday post, I thought I would be talking about Knight Games new project. Since that was pulled down and is slotted to be re-launched later this week I had to do some quick research to find a second game to talk about. I always enjoy scouring Kickstarter for board games, miniatures products, and other just cool stuff that people are trying to get funded. This week I found two projects that I found pretty cool.
Infinity Game Table
Infinity Game Table
Let’s start with the Infinity Game Table by Arcade1up is an example of what the next generation may come to expect for tabletop gaming. This table features either a 32inch or 24 inch screen options running the Android OS. The table is wifi enabled, which is expected, with the ability to allow indy game developers to create and add their games to this system. Out of the box the system features all of the most popular board and card games such as Monopoly, Pandemic, Battleship and more. It will be interesting as the future of the tabletop gaming continues to see how technology continues to become more integrated with it. It’s not clear how easy the interface will be to use, but set up time should be a breeze. The table is featured to be able to be broken down and stored. This means you don’t have to leave the game table out and don’t have to pick up the game components after play!
