Two weeks ago, my wife and I were leaving Indianapolis.
“Why were you in Indianapolis?” you ask. (And thank you for asking.)
The short answer (or, as the kids say these days, TL;DR*): We went there to play games.
The long answer follows and involves something called Gen Con. Those of you who live in the Midwest or who play board games other than Monopoly and Clue probably already know what Gen Con is. If so, you can skip ahead a little.
Gen Con is a 4-day gaming convention that is currently held annually at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the Colts) in downtown Indianapolis.

What Is Gen Con?
Gen Con is a 4-day gaming convention that is currently held annually at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the Colts) in downtown Indianapolis.
It used to be held in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Hence, the name “Gen Con” which was originally short for “Geneva Convention”, which purposely, but light-heartedly, referred to that war thing in Europe.
