Promos & Deals at Gen Con 2018
I know you’ve probably been busy working on your wish list from last week’s articles featuring games debuting at Gen Con. But if you’re anything like me, game promos not only improve your copy, but they make it better than the copy your friends have at home. That, by itself, is often reason to seek out these special releases that you can only get at conventions like Origins and Gen Con. Some of these can be acquired by visiting their booth, others with the purchase of the game and some for participating in a demo at their booth.
And what lanyard is complete without cool pins showcasing your favorite games or publishers? We’ve listed some of those for you also! Print out the Gen Con map and start marking off the booths you want to visit to grab these promos and deals. There are limited quantities so be sure to prioritize and get the ones you really want first.
