– The Midwest Gaming Classic stands as our country’s largest retro gaming event with 10,000+ playable games—and the offerings keep growing each year. This year’s Tabletop Village will double in size and have a significantly larger selection of board games, RPGs, and card-based games, or beat your opponent in Beyblades. Try a new game, compete in chess, learn the thrill of speedcubing with a Rubik’s cube, go on a quest, or join in on popular games like Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, or Settlers of Catan. Upstairs in the Vendor Hall will be an assortment of new pinball games: Dungeons and Dragons, Metallica Remastered, X-Men, John Wick, Jaws, Venom, James Bond, Godzilla, Stranger Things, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Black Knight: Sword of Rage, Deadpool and Foo Fighters.
This year’s special celebrity appearances include something for every type of gamer: Mystery Science Theater 3000’s Jonah Ray, the creators of Activision, Green Bay Packer legend and host of The Gamers Lounge Podcast Ahman Green, a Devil May Cry reunion, gaming voice actors Christopher Sean and Carolina Ravassa, voices of one of YouTube’s biggest Minecraft-base roleplay series Aphmau, and game designer Harold Johnson, who helped shape D&D.
