Gen Con is almost here, and we’re not just showing up — we’re opening a doorway to the IV Studio Universe!
We’ve got three brand new game launches, a timeline on the brink of collapse, and a weekend of nonstop events. From shiny games to designer meetups and luxurious promo bags, Room 136 is everything you love about IV Studio all in one place.
Step inside. Stay awhile. Your next favorite game might be waiting.
Three New Games Debuting at Gen Con 2025
We’re debuting not one, not two, but three small box powerhouse games, each packed with shiny cards and wrapped in sleek, limited-edition boxes.
These games are easy to teach, quick to play, and endlessly replayable; and you’ll be among the first to try them.
Graft Curate the perfect harvest by drafting cards and collecting sets to fill your cargo hold with valuable goods. Ship it before time runs out or risk busting!
Pillars of Fate A clever mix of deduction and lane battling, where hidden information and asymmetric powers make both winning and losing part of your strategy.
Time to Panic Colorful chaos in a co-op race against time! Work together to reconstruct the timeline in consecutive order or risk breaking the timeline.
These are available in limited, numbered boxes, and once they’re gone, they’re gone! Demo them all in Room 136 and find your new obsession.
Trade Timelines, Win Prizes!
You know we couldn’t show up without a little mischief.
Our Trading Timelines minigame is all about player interaction and shiny prizes—basically the IV Studio motto at this point.
Visit the IV Studio Booth 2239 or Room 136 to start your Timeline journey!
Here’s how to play:
- Start with 5 random cards numbered between 1 – 36.
- Trade with other players to collect 5 consecutive cards.
- Turn in your cards at Room 136 to collect your promo prize.
BRINK Enters the Arena
You’ve heard the whispers. You’ve seen the minis. You might even have played the prototype. But now, for the first time ever, Brink is available at retail and you can grab it right here at Gen Con.
Set in the Moonrakers universe, Brink is a worker-placement game full of diplomacy, trading, hidden voting, and spacefaring exploration. Choose between the Standard or Deluxe edition, both loaded with political intrigue and high-stakes interaction.
Meet the Team, Poke Our Brains, Vibe with Us
Room 136 isn’t just a demo room—it’s our home base, and you’re invited in. Come hang out with the IV team, meet the designers behind your favorite games, and get a sneak peek at our latest Kickstarter project, Realm of Reckoning.
Whether you’re hunting for your next game, chasing promos, or just looking to get off the busy floor and into a space full of good vibes and great people, Room 136 is the place to be. You’ll find us there all weekend long, especially after hours, when we’ll be a little sillier, more delirious, and a lot of fun.
