Re-Roll: The Week’s Tabletop Game News, Special Gen Con Edition
The first day of Gen Con is behind us and what an enjoyable time it was. Sure there were a lot of people and everyone is a little tired this morning, but there was so much to see and do. There were a few announcements and some rumors.
The Crush Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Controllers have been designed with sleek lines and curves inspired…
Bottom of the 9th was released on iOS and Android.
Rule & Make announced a Terminator 2 game. GeekDad gets a preview of that today.
Smirk and Dagger will be expanding their product line with some games that are every bit as emotion-inducing and fun as the rest of their games. The new line will debut in 2018 and be called Smirk and Laughter.
We had a in depth discussion with Cryptozoic about their QST, a tabletop subscription box. There are a lot of talented people involved and the level of production that will go into these games will be substantial. These games will be very collectible. More on that after the show.
