Most of the things shown are board- and cardgames, but there are booths with videogames and roleplaying games as well.
On most booths you get a decent explanation of games and many even offer short demo-rounds.
There’s also a game-lending area, where you can borrow most games and play them on your own.
Honestly, I wasn’t really impressed when I went to that Con two years ago…
They were heavily focused on boardgames and entertainment for kids.
There was a room for RPGs and tabletops, but it felt less than what Harry offers in his shop.
I think the VFGC is more suited for players like us, but if some of you decide to go there I might show up too.
They expanded the LARP-section, and let dressed people in at no fee.
The main focus was still board- and kids games, but the consoles got (or used) less space (but that space was now used for dolls).
Games I’m probably going to buy:
Thunderstone Advance(liked the original, the new Base-set is good for starting, compatible with the previous expansions, has a bit new rules that build upon or chanbe the old ones. Streamlined and made better)
Die Zwerge (plays a bit like Fury of Dracula but without one player having to take over the evil side.)
