We bring you back to a time not so long ago, not so far away — to PAX Unplugged 2024 in December 2024 in Philadelphia, PA. PAX Unplugged focuses on tabletop and card games, more than video games experiences as might be seen at other PAX events.
Youtuber Kohdok shared some highs and lows and a few stories from PAX Unplugged 2024. In a compact 18 minute video, Kohdok energetically jumps into experiences, primarily from the show floor and from exhibitors he engaged with. A few vendors were missing inventory, including a vendor who stayed at an AirBnb, one which rejected all their freight and nearly came to the show empty-handed. So the lesson is it’s critical to secure the freight and make sure it gets from Point A to B.
Kohdok goes on to talk about the hits and misses from the vendors bringing their latest and greatest card and tabletop games to PAX Unplugged. And, of course, he names names of the big companies that would be expected to have a floor presence but actually didn’t attend the show. Maybe the biggest miss for Kohdok, sadly, was missing Saturday due to falling ill, probably from “con crud.” If you’ve been to any larger event a time or two, that is (or will be) a relatable experience.
One unique addition toward the end of the video is what he discovered thrown away at the show, from samples to interesting boxes. Check out Kohdok’s entire fast-paced video from PAX Unplugged 2024, which is loaded up full of interesting tidbits and insights
