Video gamer? We’ll have the game-makers from the International Games Developers Association of Chicago and Bit Bash to tell you about and let you play new games in development. They’ll also offer an opportunity to check out Oculus Rift VR. And we’ll have screens open for free play of Mariokart and Super Smash Bros.
Board games more up your speed? Come play with friendly local game stores Cat and Mouse Games and Chicagoland Games/Dice Dojo, and get to know the people behind Bonus Round Games Café, who hosts pop-up events and will open a board game cafe in Chicago this spring.
