Gaming

For those who have the urge to grab some dice and wage war on your friends, AnimeFest has the gaming program for you! We're located in two places this year. We are at the Reunion Ballroom area and we have events in the Dealer's Room this year!

We've added some new games into the mix along with bringing back some of the classics and favorites of the con. Here's only a sample of what we have going this year:

• WizKids Games - Karl Pajak and his crew return to promote the very best of the WizKids gaming line! They will be running HorrorClix, MechWarrior, Pirates of the Spanish Main, Star Wars Pocket Model and other games! Come by and play these games!
