Bower’s Game Corner Gen Con/Origins Game Bonanza 2026

AHOY THERE!

For the last 15 years, Bower’s Game Corner has existed in the background of my life. Through marriage, raising three kids, working in classrooms for a decade, and eventually becoming a stay-at-home dad, the channel never really went away. It was always there—usually running on way too little sleep, questionable equipment, and pure enthusiasm for board games.

The base funding goal of $3,000 supports on-site filming and production of 100+ convention videos at Gen Con and Origins 2026. 

Beyond that, stretch goals focus on improving the quality and amount of the content and covering more of the hottest new games in the hobby.
