INDIANAPOLIS—If it's early August, you can count on one thing: we're gonna be in downtown Indianapolis with 70,000 other board gamers, forgoing sleep, food, and general wellbeing to play a truly ridiculous amount of new tabletop games at Gen Con, the self-described "Best Four Days in Gaming."
(If you want some sense of what that cardboard chaos looks like, our Gen Con 2019 image gallery is a good place to start.)
Developer Paizo debuted the game's second edition at this year's conference more than a decade after the beloved RPG debuted.
And if you're really one to plan out your play in advance, it's never too early to consider it: next year's Gen Con returns to Indy and runs July 30 through August 2, 2020.
Watch out, though, as generating resources also causes waste—create too much waste and you lose.
The game bears some similarity to a game that two of the designers previously worked on, the well-loved medieval France sim Troyes.
