Published: Thu 10th Jul

Do you enjoy hosting a handful of people for game night? How about a few hundred? That's what three board game retailers tried for the first time when they kicked off LFG Con in Burbank, CA.

We asked Dustin Staats, owner of BGE Tabletop, to join us on the podcast to talk about how their convention dreams started and what it took to make them a reality. Plus, Dustin shares how he made the transition from board game content creator to board game retailer.
