Michael Dunn (special to GrogHeads), 20 August 2016
While GrogHeads doesn’t have the official presence at GenCon that we do at Origins, we still sneak in someone to play games and take pictures. This year, we borrowed Mike to do the honors for us.
As always, the venerable Rio Grande Games in attendance.

Kriegsspiel pics from Mike Davis’ game that he ran. Always good to return to our wargaming roots and play the game that started it all.
What’s Gencon without cos play?
Ares Games provided plenty of “Wings of Glory” and “Sails of Glory” for all.

A couple of the lads from DGS Games and their minis adventure game “Freeblades.”
Speaking of venerable, of course there was Settlers of Catan. (Insert wood for sheep joke here)
Many a kitten were exploded in the Oatmeal themed game “Exploding Kittens.” Oh the humanity!

Vast sea of gaming humanity in vendor hall. Many credit cards perished that day.
As expected, Pokémon Go loomed large at this year’s GenCon as many attendees wandered about heads down over their mobile devices capturing many a loose Pokémon. If only they glanced up to see Pikachu floating overhead.

The good munchkins from Steve Jackson Games made their way up from Austin, TX again this year.

Just in case anyone needed dice, Chessex was more than happy to provide. Friend-of-GrogHeads Anthony Gallela was in there somewhere.
The latest Academy Games offering in the Conflict of Heroes series, Bushido. Looks great as a minis game!
