CincyCon 2013 - What to expect.

CincyCon is a small, fun, local gaming convention. The kind of convention you go to meet gamers in your area, discover stores in your area, talk to gaming developers and most importantly play new games and some old favorites. I started volunteering at CincyCon their first year on accident. I showed up early and decided to help move some stuff, then I helped pack it up and out. That was four years ago and I have helped in one way or another since. Every year CincyCon has gotten bigger and better. And with COGS running some demos it is sure to be great.

CincyCon is going to have tournaments for games like: Flames of War, Games Workshop games and a lot of homebrew or historical miniatures games. There is a Saturday steamroller tournament for Warmahordes but the details are foggy and if all else fails, there can be a mini tournament saturday to quench your competitive thirst. Other interesting things are a massive quantity of roleplaying games, the flea market and pickup and demo games spread out through the convention.

Demo games are what COGS are bringing you and your friends. We will have copies of family friendly favorites such as: Pentago, Gobblet, Seven Card Samurai, Repello and Smash Up. Looking for something more complex that you can play at a table with your buds? How about: Game of Thrones boardgame, Lords of Waterdeep. Settlers of Catan, or & wonders. Sometimes you want to keep it competitive and stick with the cardgames. We will have Android: Netrunner, A Game of Thrones LCG and Starwars LCG. All these games are handpicked by the people that love games and playing them. If you play a game you love, we can go over some local stores that carry/promote the game so you can get all the games in you want.
