Gen Con, the largest and longest-running tabletop gaming convention in North America, today announced international board game publisher Ravensburger as a returning Co-Sponsor of Gen Con 2026. Ravensburger will receive dedicated event space and physical and digital marketing at Gen Con’s upcoming 2026 convention as part of the agreement.
“Gen Con is where the tabletop community experiences what’s next, and we’re proud to continue our partnership with an event that has played such a key role in our journey,” said Stephane Madi, CEO and Managing Director, Ravensburger North America. “Fans attending this year’s show can anticipate exciting experiences from an immersive panel playthrough of our newest Disney Lorcana TCG Illumineer’s Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue to our first Gen Con Challenge Championship Qualifier (CCQ) to the return of fan-favorite speed puzzling and Disney Villainous tournaments. Every year we’re inspired by the passion of fans, creators, retailers, and partners who make this community so special, and we look forward to celebrating another unforgettable Gen Con together.”
At Gen Con 2026, fans of Ravensburger have an opportunity to be among the first to get their hands on several new games, including special, early access to the new Illumineer’s Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue from Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game. Gen Con 2026 will also be the first time fans can purchase Mind the Lines (the English-language localization of the 2025 Spiel des Jahres nominee Krakel Orakel), an innovative drawing party game. Several other new 2026 games will also be for sale, including the newly launched Horrified: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Ravenloft and three new entries to the Disney Villainous franchise.
In addition to sales opportunities, fans looking to get hands-on time with Ravensburger games can visit one of Ravensburger’s multiple event and demo spaces, including Ravensburger’s Booth (#2001) in the Exhibit Hall and Ravensburger’s event space in Event Hall E. The fan-favorite Ravensburger claw machine is back by popular demand this year, featuring a show-exclusive plush tied to the new edition of the classic dice rolling game, Las Vegas. Plus, attendees can pose in the cosplay area in front of Disney Lorcana TCG and Horrified: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Ravenloft backdrops.
