Today, we talk about day 3 of Gen Con 2023, which is Saturday! We had an amazing time working at the Dice Tower booth, and thank you so much to everyone that stopped by and said hello! We didn’t get a lot of footage of that just because we were “on the clock,” but it was great. But the coolest thing of the day, was by far the Lorcana launch party. Disney and Ravensburger threw the most amazing event and we posted a little bit of what we were able to talk about from it.
