Gen Con 2016 Preview — Now Live!

Gen Con 2016 Preview — Now Live!
From gallery of W Eric Martin
Phew! The 2016 Origins Game Fair is now in the can. The BoardGameGeek crew was on site in Columbus, Ohio for five days, livestreaming dozens of game demonstrations and interviewing plenty of designers, publishers, and passers-by. We'll cut up those videos into smaller bits, then post them on our YouTube channel and on the individual game listings in the weeks to come.

While you wait for those videos in case you missed the livestreams — which can still be viewed in their entirety via the links below each date in the top post on this thread — I invite you to turn your attention to BGG's Gen Con 2016 Preview.

Yes, we're already looking to the future, to the Indianapolis convention where hundreds of new games will be presented to thousands of gamers. The Gen Con 2016 Preview starts with 135 titles on it and will only grow from there, with publishers submitting new information from now up until the day Gen Con opens, that being August 4, 2016. I still have more info to add from notes in my inbox, and if you have details of releases not already listed, feel free to email me at the address in the BGG News header at the top of the page.
