While I failed to take many pictures of the day, I did get this interesting shot of a small band in full Star Trek appearance playing a secret concert in the gorgeous glass crossroads in the skywalk. This was a fantastic interview with a lot of interesting insight from the duo, and I highly suggest fans of the game head over to Random Number Gaming to check it out. Many folks I talked to had just learned there was an Attack on Titan Trading Card Game and were excited to see how it plays – in those cases, I’m always ecstatic to teach because the game is so easy for anyone to pick up, and as one plays and learns it, the depth of gameplay really starts to reveal itself.ĭuring the day, the booth was visited by well known DBZ (and more) content producer Didier Greenleaf, who sat down with designer Richie and brand manager Aik to do an interview about MetaX’s present and future.
The Demo staff were kept busy, rarely getting a break with one attendee after another asking to try the game out, but there couldn’t have been a better team for it – everyone’s passion and excitement shone through, and we saw a lot of smiling faces – and purchased product – throughout the weekend.įriday continued much as Thursday had – the group was split between events, exploring the exhibit hall, and giving their all to the swarm of attendees looking to try out MetaX. The slick promo Mikasa being given out on Thursday and Friday sure didn’t hurt people’s interest, and all players demoing also got to take home a Demo Deck to show their friends. Several in our group had volunteered to help demo MetaX at the Panini Booth, and throughout the weekend it was constantly packed with new eyes and new faces learning the game – as well as some old ones stopping by to say hello.
Some spread to various tournaments throughout the weekend such as the MetaX Sealed Deck events (where the value was absolutely insane), while others wandered the packed exhibit hall to see the sights and buy the goods. As GenCon began in earnest, the group separated to partake in a variety of activities.
