Gen Con 2024 Preview: The Games

In Part Two of our 2024 Gen Con preview coverage, we go through an amazing amount of games that we are looking forward to demoing and picking up. We had a lot of fun recording this, but there are a few episode notes to mention as we lost some of our segments to recording corruption:

1) As a correction, Nexus Ops' first edition was 2005 but the second edition was 2012. Regardless, look up the new edition - the game is so very good.

2) Jason mentioned a game to pick up called Lone Wolves. This is from Wonderful World Board Games at booth 1356 and is priced at $20.

3) Mark mentioned Tír na nÓg from Grand Gamers Guild. They can be found at booth 2838. They are offering a deluxe version for $50.

4) Metrorunner can be found at Thunderworks Games' booth at 1363 for $60.

5) Rock Hard: 1977 is from Devir. They are at booth 2827.
