It’s just about August of 2019 and that means one thing, Gen con is about to be in full swing in Indianapolis, Indiana. Ahead of the convention Gale Force Nine published a forecast as to what attendees can look forward to either purchasing, or playing, on the show floor.
As per the press release Gale Force Nine issued on 31 July 2019 the organization plans on showing off its flagship product for the convention—Dune: The Board Game—along with a series of other products ranging from Dungeons and Dragons accessories to various other tabletop games that will be released in the coming months—including: Star Trek Ascendency, Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Coprs, and Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks expansions.
Dune: The Board Game is the primary focus for Gale Force Nine for the coming 2019 presentation and will be available to play at Gen con:
In Dune the board game you control one of six factions in the never-ending battle to control the illustrious spice ‘melange!’
We are only just getting started with Dune! Gale Force Nine hold the master licence for this product so some expect expansions, more content, and new games in the near future!
Additionally, Gale Force Nine has announced both Star Trek Ascendancy and Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps will both be playable at the Gale Force Nine stand. However, the former will not be available for purchase until October, while the latter will have additional information provided by September 2nd.
Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks will also be showing at Gen Con:
