Honestly, I’m mainly curious about this one because of the theme. But I’m not sure if it’s in there or not. Some things like character class specific powers for your hero, that sounds cool. I just hope that it isn’t too simple (or too complex). I like the idea of this one, a Dungeon Crawler with Dungeons and Dragons tied to it, that sounds cool. Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon ScrawlersĪnother roll and write on the list. Right now I’m kicking myself for not backing it on KS. I really want to get my hands on this one, but it isn’t that cheap. But a game that has a ton going on and a ton of great views. It takes the world style of Near and Far and Above and Below and puts it into a cooperative game.

But I really want to get this game, and I think most people will like it. In fact, this would be one that I wouldn’t be shocked if it wasn’t there. Sleeping GodsīGG (Board Game Geek) has it listed but I imagine this might not be a ton of copies. I’ll hopefully be getting this one myself, but if you think it sounds interesting, I’d probably check it out pretty quickly at GenCon. It’s building a dinosaur park, I’m interested in it for sure. I love my roll and write games, so this isn’t the only one on the list. Out of all the ones that I think will be at pop-up GenCon, this is the one I said I was looking forward to most.

And while the mazes on kids playmats at restaurants are fine, I imagine this is going to be more like the mazes in Labyrinth of Time and other video games, which is going to be cool. I loved mazes growing up, I still love them now. But to add in a Maze, now I’m very interested. The fact that this one has “scape” at the end of it means that it’s going to be some sort of an escape room style game. Mazescape: LabyrinthĮscape room games are all the craze. I’d love to try this one, but I think it’s going to be a good game. That said, a skirmish game, while I do trust the company, Brotherwise Games, to make a good game, it is still a skirmish game. It’s really one that I want to checkout mainly because I love The Dragon Prince. This is one that I’ve talked about before. But I’ll say decide for yourselves and checkout the videos that Man vs Meeple did as well as Tablenauts, which I have below. Silly game but man does it look like a lot of fun. You will be up around the table doing bug sumo wrestling as you push discs onto the board to try and knock off your opponents disc. Kabuto Sumo though is kind of a different sort of game. I always need to put a dexterity game on the list. The reviews on it thus far have been pretty good, so it’s on my radar to pick-up. It feels like a good combination of something like Azul and Potion Explosion but with a theme that more people will enjoy. I also like that you are picking groups of marbles to store or add to your drinks. Why, because the theme is just fun, I like the idea of mixing up drinks. And I’ve almost bought it from Miniature Market a few times. In 2019 the list was fairly off, and with shipping I suspect that some won’t be here. Also, note that if you are there, not all of these games might be there. But beyond that, I didn’t put these in a super specific order, it is just the 10 that are jumping out to me. It’s a gorgeous looking game that I still need to get to my table. I loaded this up and I immediately saw Kohaku, but I already own that. So, this list is going be games that I don’t own. So we’re going to do my Top 10 Board Games to Buy at GenCon this year, demo list coming tomorrow. That, however, doesn’t mean that I can’t or won’t talk about the things that are coming out this year. Instead I am doing Pop-up GenCon this year. However, like I said before, I do think it was the right call for me not to go this year. And as I see Tweets and Facebook posts from board game companies, I’m wishing that I was. Or they WILL break out and start eating your visitors, and we all know how that ends.I won’t be going to GenCon this year. And maybe hire some (read: a lot of) security. So maybe buy a roller coaster or two to attract visitors to your park the good old-fashioned way?Īll players will compete to build the most thrilling park each season, and then work to attract (and keep alive!) the most visitors each season that the park opens.ĭo you go big and create a pack of Velociraptors? They’ll definitely excite potential visitors, but you’d better make a large enough enclosure for them. You could play it safe and grow a bunch of herbivores, but then you aren’t going to have the most exciting park in the world (sad face). In Dinosaur Island, players will have to collect DNA, research the DNA sequences of extinct dinosaur species, and then combine the ancient DNA in the correct sequence to bring these prehistoric creatures back to life.
