Gen Con 2022

Posted on Leave a comment

Only a few more weeks until Gen Con is here. Taking place every year in Indianapolis, Gen Con is the biggest gaming convention in the U.S. It usually features a mix of discovering new games and celebrating old favorites, and this year we’ve got some big stuff planned for both.

Launch Party

The Second Edition of Castle Panic is coming out later this year along with a new expansion, and we are throwing a launch party to celebrate! The party will take place on Thursday, August 4th at 8pm EDT in rooms 144 and 145. We’ll have multiple copies of the new edition plus Crowns and Quests (the new expansion) on the table so everyone can see the amazing new art and try out the games before you can buy them. Each attendee will receive an exclusive pin that is only available at this event. We’re also holding a raffle drawing to give away some great prizes. We’ll be raffling 3D prints of some of the minis that were used in the prototypes of Castle Panic Deluxe as well as copies of Castle Panic and Crowns and Quests to a few lucky winners!

Tickets are $2 and this event is filling up fast, so reserve your space now if you want to attend this celebration of all things Castle Panic.

Booth #2323

When you’re walking the vendor hall, be sure to come see us at Booth #2323. You can get a sneak peek of Castle Panic Deluxe and see the new artwork and minis up close. We’ll be taking pre-orders for Castle Panic 2nd Edition as well as the Castle Panic Deluxe Collection and Castle Panic Wood Collection that were only offered through Kickstarter previously. While you’re at our booth, you can pick up our exclusive enamel pin that’s part of the Gen Con Pin Bazaar. Share your loyalty to the castle with this mighty dragon.

That’s right. We’ve made a huge version of Castle Panic and it’s taking over our booth! This giant game measures 10 feet across and is sure to make some jaws drop. Get your picture taken in front of our (almost) life-sized castle and show your friends how awesome Gen Con is.
