The Game Crafter at Gen Con 2022

Hello Community Gen Con starts this week, (Aug 4-7), and we wanted to share the 4 special things we're doing there. We look forward to seeing everyone! Note: This newsletter is focused on Gen Con and then the next newsletter will jump back into new products, features, and upcoming events. Board Game Candy Booth (2551) We are running our Board Game Candy booth again at Gen Con! This year the booth number is 2551. We'll have 300 different board game pieces and parts to buy. We sell them by weight at $.25/gram. Fill up an entire bag and get 50% off your order. We'll be keeping track of the 3 largest orders and they will earn TGC shop credit at the end of the show! See our booth location on the map below. TGC Community Game Night This will be our 8th annual TGC Community Game Night! The event runs from 8pm-midnight on Friday, August 5th and will be held in the White River G & H Ballrooms inside the JW Marriott hotel. From the convention center, use the bridge to get to JW Marriott Hotel. You will arrive on the 2nd floor. Keep walking straight until you see an escalator going down to the first floor. Then you'll take a left and the White River Ballrooms will be on your right. Here's a map below to help you find it. This is an official Gen Con event and so you'll need tickets to participate. Right now we only have 3 event tickets left, but we did ask Gen Con events team to see if they could add a few more tickets. However, you are welcome to stop by with generic tickets and you can join us as long as we have room. Our event space is comprised of 2 ballrooms that they merged together and there's 22 round tables available. Bring your prototypes to play with others and be willing to playtest the games of other designers too. It's basically like a mini protospiel, so feel free to setup your game or sit down with other people and start playing. It's open format and there are no reserved tables or spaces. TGC Community Social We are hosting our 9th annual TGC Community Social event at Gen Con on Saturday, Aug 6th at 7pm. This is a great opportunity to meet other people from The Game Crafter community and enjoy some tasty food and beverages. This is not an official Gen Con event and does not require a ticket. We just ask that you RSVP to our facebook event or email us if you plan to attend. (This way the venue knows how many people to expect and how much space to reserve.) We hope to see you there! TGC Game Designer Table @ FEPH As we've done in past years, The Game Crafter is donating a bunch of board game pieces, assorted blank game components, and promo cards on our table in the First Exposure Playtest Hall (FEPH). Tavis won't be running a table there this year, but you'll see a black skirted table by the entrance that says "TGC Designer Table". You're welcome to grab some of the components if you're a game designer in our community or you are participating in the FEPH. To be fair to everyone, we try to put out new stuff each day so there's enough to go around. Check back the next day if it gets cleaned out. We do this at Gen Con and many other events because we love to support indie game designers and design events. We appreciate our community and this is one way we can give back. :) Upcoming Events Here's a list of upcoming events we're attending or supporting: TGC Community Game Night @ Gen Con [Live, Aug 5] TGC Community Social @ Gen Con [Live, Aug 6] Protospiel Coulee Con [Live, Aug 20] Protospiel Online [Online, Aug 26-28] Tabletop Terrace @ 2D Con [Live, Aug 26-28] Pacificon Protospiel [Live, Sep 2-5] Follow us on TikTok for new product videos.
