Welcome to the Looney Labs Gen Con Online page!

We’ve got lots of fun for you!

First, we have a Gen Con release—SPONGEBOB FLUXX!
You can purchase this new release at the Gen Con store, from your local game store, or from our webstore!

Next, we have a series of events for you to attend!
We’d love to see you, and all you need is a Zoom account (they’re free)!

No matter what you do at Gen Con this year, we hope you have a wonderful time at “the biggest four days in gaming!” (There are over 6000 events on the schedule and over 20,000 participants this year, and badges are FREE!)

Full descriptions of our events:

CHAT WITH ANDY
Hang out with Andrew Looney (you can call him Andy), Looney Labs’ game designer. You can ask him questions or he can show you our upcoming games. Maybe he’ll even pull out some of the prototypes he’s been working on lately!

DEMOS & STORIES WITH KRISTIN
Hang out with Kristin Looney, CEO of Looney Labs. You can ask her questions or she can demonstrate our upcoming games!

DEMOS & STORIES WITH KRISTIN—NOMIDS EDITION
This session will focus on playing several rounds of the new pyramid game Nomids.

DEMOS & STORIES WITH KRISTIN—ICE DUO EDITION
This session will focus on playing several rounds of Ice Dice, one of the two games in Ice Duo.

MARTIAN CHESS PLAY SESSION WITH ANDY
This session will focus on playing several rounds of Martian Chess, showcasing the two new colors of pyramids—Martian Red and Silver.

RETAILER ONLY Q&A AND DEMOS WITH KRISTIN
This session is for retailers only to discuss upcoming releases and special offers, to answer any questions you may have, and to field any comments or concerns you’d like to voice.

LOONEY LABS AMA
This “Ask Me Anything” session is just that—both Kristin and Andy will be available to talk about anything and everything the audience would like to discuss! Please keep yourselves on mute so that it doesn’t get too noisy, and ask questions in the chat. A moderator will pass the questions on to Kristin and Andy.

BIG EXPERIMENT RABBIT REUNION WITH KRISTIN & ANDY
Did you ever work a volunteer shift as a Big Experiment Lab Rabbit at Origins back in the day? If so, let’s get together! We’d love the chance to say hi to you all, and thought you may enjoy the chance to catch up with each other. (Please only attend if you were a part of the big crew it took to pull off the Big Experiment at Origins… thank you!)

PARSELY MUFFINS WITH ANDY
Parsely is an interactive literature event in which Andy plays a computer in an old-school text adventure and the audience takes turns giving him commands in order to solve the puzzling story. In the “Muffins” story in this session, you work at a muffin factory where mysterious things are happening.

PARSELY NEW MODULES WITH ANDY
Parsely is an interactive literature event in which Andy plays a computer in an old-school text adventure and the audience takes turns giving him commands in order to solve the puzzling story. In this “new modules” session, Andy will present several other Parsely stories he’s created and allow the audience to choose which one (or maybe two, time permitting) to play through.

HOMEWORLDS TRAINING SESSIONS WITH LAURIE
Have you always wanted to try Homeworlds, but found the learning curve a little too daunting? Or maybe you’re new to Looney Pyramids and just recently heard about Andy’s Homeworlds challenge (he’ll give you a medal if you can beat him) and want to get started? In this half-hour session, Laurie (one of the 19 medal holders and a Looney Labs employee) will walk you through the basics of Homeworlds. Better yet, bring a friend so you can learn together!

ZENDO RULES EXPANSION #2 PLAY SESSION WITH LAURIE
Looney Labs will be releasing a second rules expansion for Zendo in October. Play a game of Zendo and get a sneak try at a rule or two from this new set. Please only attend these sessions if you already know how to play Zendo, as these new rules are fairly challenging!
