GEN KKKHHHAAANNNN 2018!

,Allright, allright, allright!  We're just around the corner from one of the largest gaming convention in the world so let's do a recap on what Mantic has going on this year!

Events

Kings of War/Warpath

This years events starts with a ton of Kings of War Learn to Play events.  You looking to get into King of War but you're sitting on the fence. Jump in a Learn to Play and have Mike Carter show you the sexiness of Kings of War.  All materials are provided for the Learn to Play events. Throughout the whole weekend we will also be hosting a Kings of War Big Game.  This is a giant board that consist of 2 armies at 10000 points a side.  Swing by and grab a couple of regiments and play some Kings of War! Not a fantasy player?  More of a sci fi player? We have Warpath: Learn to Play events to get you into the Warpath Universe. Jump into one of these events and see what a great game Warpath is.

The Walking Dead

For all you Walking Dead Fans, we have the return of Unhappy Campers. This scenario sees you either taking your survivor band to rescue Sophia or sees you preventing Sophia from returning to her friends, but watch out for Crazy Reggie!  You never know where he'll turn up.  This year we have a giant Walking Dead game called The Walking Dead: Walker Challenge.  This event sees you controlling one of eight heroes competing to gather three supplies while surrounded by hordes of zombies in a free for all battle.  Can you be the one get your much needed supplies and get out of the hot zone without getting bitten or shot in the back by your opponents?

Star Saga

Those of you who are a big fan of Star Saga, you're not forgotten.  We have a special Gen Con scenario, Prison Extraction.   In this scenario you're going to play one of four heroes, who have made some bad decisions. Now they have to do a "favor" for Blaine.  This favor finds you in a subterranean prison doing something your probably wouldn't be doing if you had a choice. This scenario will feature a 3d board where the map is revealed as you enter new areas.

Dreadball

Want to learn to play some Dreadball but don't have a lot of time, then the Dreadball 3v3 event is for you.  Based on 3v3 half court basketball, this version of Dreadball provides you with a fast game where your team consists of three players, and play is confined to half the pitch.  This will allow new players to experience the game without the clutter of too many players on the pitch and moves the game at a faster pace for an already fast game. Can you coach your team to a victory only using three players?

Tournaments

This years tournaments start on Friday with General Control Cup.  This is the 4th year for the Dreadball tournament and is a NADC qualifier which allows you a free spot at the NADC National Championships.  This tournaments starts at 9am.

Saturday brings us The Kings of Gen Con Kings of War tournament.  This tournament features differing army point values per round.  Each round increases the point value of your army.  This event is hosted by the Ohio War Kings.

Also happening on Saturday is the first annual Walking Dead: All Out War tournament.  This is a 100 point survivor band tournament.  Will Negan rule the day?  Will Rick brood before winning? Will a no name survivor take all?

Exhibitor Booth

Come by and try out our new Walking Dead game.  If you came to Mantic Open Night at AdeptiCon, then you were treated to a preview of this awesome new board game. We'll have it to try out here at booth 835.  Not only that we'll have Hellboy: The Board Game to look at!

Gen Con will be the release day of Terrain Crate!  A giant line of fantastic fantasy terrain.  The sets range from a wizards study to a dwarf mine.  Piles of gold and gems to a tavern.  These pieces are great to spruce up your D&D or Pathfinder game.  Dungeon Saga's dungeon doors and furniture have been a great hit and Terrain Crate just blows the doors off.  Get a Dungeon Depths set, $80, and receive a Terrain Crate Mini Set for free.
