GenCon All Abuzz
Arcane Legions is the talk of the Con!
August 20, 2009 (Bellevue, WA) — Wells Expeditions™ wowed the crowds at Gen Con when they debuted their initial product offering: Arcane Legions™, a new collectable mass action miniatures game.
Gen Con is often the forum where publishers show off their new offerings, and though Arcane Legions is not scheduled to release until this fall, Wells Expeditions had product available two months in advance. With a booth full of demo tables, shields looming above their heads and beautiful ladies ready to show new players how the game is played, the folks at Wells Expeditions waited to see if the crowd they hoped for would come to learn about the game. And come they did.
As soon as the hall opened, the booth filled with players of all ages eager to learn how to play and to purchase the initial Arcane Legions offerings. Though the reward for a demo was a customized fortune cookie (demos far exceeded expectations and fortune cookies ran out on Saturday morning), many players further enjoyed the free Boosters that accompanied some of the fortunes! Many learned that although the Boosters are collectable (that is, contain randomized contents), Army Packs are faction-specific, so getting the army they wanted is easy on the budget. The booth was not the only place where Arcane Legions was a huge hit. All weekend long the tournament hall was running both Constructed and Sealed events, taking up a good chunk of tables upstairs and often completely selling out event spaces — making for exciting and competitive games.
Not to mention we also had our very first King of Con Tournament Champion Christian Busch!
Wells Expeditions also got an education, having a chance to field questions from curious attendees with fresh eyes. The company elaborated on product specs, scenarios and organized play and the specific and flavorful abilities of the game’s three factions. Many answers to these questions, including descriptions of the benefits of the primary factions, are answered at ArcaneLegions.com.
Wells Expeditions could not be more pleased with the buzz surrounding Arcane Legions — buzz they hope to continue at the Seattle Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in two weeks at booth 3017. If you are in the Seattle area, this is your chance to see for yourself what everyone’s talking about!
