Tonight Dan and Chris are once again welcomed by our good Cajun buddy BJ Rojas for our annual look at what you should Try (Available only to Demo) and what you should look to buy at GenCon ’23.

All 3 of us have varied tastes so there should be plenty of games for everyone! We talked about a bunch of game for Origins, and many of them will be available at Gen Con so we tried to keep them off our lists.

But We did list them to remind everyone about tons of OTHER great games as well.

Once a few days have passed I will post the lists here but for now just listen and enjoy the show! And please remember

to hit the guild on BGG and let us know what YOUR top games to try and buy are at Gen Con     Thanks for listening
