“We are committed to creating appreciation for video games, video game culture, and other related platforms, primarily through the presentation of conventions, tournaments, and other events that explores the culture of video games”. The Round Table Club.
GG or Good Game is an acronym used by gamers after the end of a round, game, or other to indicate that a match was fair and enjoyable. Playing good games is something all gamers have experienced. The team running Good Game Con are gamers from all walks of life ranging from bio-engineering students, competitive fighting game players, business students, and more. We came together and began working on this project which began as a tournament but became much bigger. As we continued to work on this event, our ideas grew and we realize that we’re able to do so much more.
We aim to create a hub for all gamers and non-gamers. For those who don’t know much about the world of gaming, we hope to inform you of the culture to the best of our abilities by exploring different aspects of this growing community. Good Game Con will have a list of activities ranging from video game tournaments, live panels, an artist alley, and much more.
Good Game Con wants to explore to different aspects of video games. One major component of video game is video game competition. With the increase in popularity in video game competition, people attending our event should experience the hype that is video game competition.
