The big news of the day was the revelation of Richard Garfield's KeyForge, which Fantasy Flight Games had revealed during its In-Flight Report on Wednesday night before Gen Con opened. I've already written a long piece about this game, mostly focusing on the game's production and not its design, but that's mostly because I had played only twice at that time. (I've still played only twice at this point, alas. Too much Gen Con work and SPIEL '18 prep getting in the way!)
We cover a few other games that we saw at the show as well, while probably being ready to fall asleep in the process — or maybe that was just me?
