We can't afford the plane tickets to Indianapolis this year (Matt had his bags packed and everything…), but that isn't stopping us from getting hyped! Gen Con is right around the corner, and the line-up of brand-new releases this year is looking absolutely stacked.

From massive board game return-to-forms and co-op cyberpunk poker to high-flying WWI dogfights and clever dice-rolling trick-taking games, Wayne and Matt break down 10 exciting new games coming to Gen Con that you need to have on your radar.

Are you heading to Gen Con this year, or watching the hype from afar like us? Let us know in the comments which game you’re most excited to get on the table!
