Gen Con 2019 is officially over, but our minds and bodies are still recovering. The epic convention simply gave us too many games to play (and take home) -- so many that we need two industry guests to help us process it all. Joining us this week: Lizzy Funkhouser (content creator at Board Game Spotlight) and Derek Funkhouser (board game development manager at Skybound and also a content creator at BG Spotlight). Between the four of us, we got to check out roughly 5 trillion new board games. So join us for an hour-long discussion about (some of) those.

Our four topics:

1. ​Christina: Our Gen Con games of the show
2. Lizzy: What we're willing to buy full-price at the show vs. waiting to get online discounts later
3. Derek: Why it's important for content creators to build community at conventions
4. Shoe: Our favorite early prototypes from the show (games we'll have to wait a long-ass time to see a retail version of)
