Come interact with some of your favorite board game media personalities while they compete in a series of board game events! Who will become Master of the Games? You decide!
Description:
And so the battle lines have been drawn, the network captains have picked their troops, the scene of combat, right here in a Gen Con event room... Inspired by Battle of the Network Stars, Battle of the Board Game Networks pits personality against personality in a series of board game events. From pitching products to drawing poorly, media people will try to win it all to become Master of the Games! An event might include a game of Snake Oil where the audience determines which team pitched the better product. Another might involve throwing dice as panelists try to build giant Kaboom! towers. One thing is for certain, panelists will need to bring their A-game (and maybe a giveaway item or two) if they plan on winning over the audience. In addition, there will be several opportunities for Q&A where teams will take the time to interact directly with the audience and answer questions.
