The Coolest Games, Art and Cosplay We Saw at Gen Con 2014
The biggest gaming convention in North America was bigger than ever this year, with an explosion of board games, cards games, RPGs, miniatures, and cosplay. Here's what we saw that blew our minds.
Gen Con attendance grew over ten percent compared to last year, and has doubled since 2009. It's actually kind of insane how much it's growing and how big the hobby games market is getting ($700 million in 2013 according to ICv2). The launch of the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons is obviously driving a lot of interest right now, but gaming in general is growing in terms of game types and interests.
