Sponsored. As we have recovered from an incredible Gen Con this year, we thought it would be a great idea to share where you'll be able to find Office Dog at conventions over the next year! Gen Con had a lot of wonderful Office Dog Games events and activations! You could find The Hobbit: There and Back Again™ at the Asmodee booth to demo the first chapter or two and in the event hall with prized competitions. River of Gold made its appearance in the event hall with daily 'Gold Rushes' where we partnered with Modern Meeple to give some amazing prizes to the winners of the games. Crafting the Cosmos made its Gen Con event debut as well, winners of the game got to walk away with the game they just played with! The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring™ Trick-Taking Game was also at the show with prized events as well and we even announced the follow up game, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers™ Trick-Taking Game! We love to deliver the best experience at a convention and hope you will come say hi as we travel to all of our upcoming shows!
Our next stop will be Essen Spiel in October! Join us as The Hobbit: There and Back Again releases in all its cute Hobbit glory! The game's designer, master game designer Reiner Knizia, will be in attendance and be doing a signing of the game at the convention. There will be tables for demoing There and Back Again as well. Bryan Bornmueller will be at the convention as well signing copies of The Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking Game and we will be demoing The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game in the convention hall as well!
Office Dog then makes the trek over to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to attend Pax Unplugged in November. The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game will be making a special appearance at the show with a limited prerelease sale of the game, similar to the year before with The Fellowship of the Ring Trick Taking Game. Players will also receive a special gift with purchase, so put a pin in your calendar to pick up this game! We are so excited to bring all of our The Lord of the Rings™ events to you this year, with Hobbit: There and Back Again and The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game leading the way!
Office Dog will be starting the new year with TantrumCon in Charlotte, North Carolina, taking place in February. Put on by the amazing people at Tantrum House, the convention is a blast. We will be showcasing our games in the demo hall all weekend long, placing games in their Hot Games and Play-to-Win areas, and hosting a few Tournameals, which are these incredible events where you learn how to play, play to win a game, and get a meal thematic to the games! Keep an eye out for The Hobbit: There and Back Again, and The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game.
We are so excited to show you all of the wonderful games we have announced for these shows, but we also have some surprises in the works that we know you won't want to miss! The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game and The Hobbit: There and Back Again are going to be making a big splash at the conventions we are attending in the near future, but be prepared for our attendance and some cons mid next year as well. We are currently planning some adventures and exciting news at some of your favorite local conventions as well as retailer focused show, hoping to see you all at GAMA, Canada Plays, UK Games Expo and the Nuremburg Toy Fair.

Our Studio Has a Ton of Fun Planned for Con-Goers!
