Join Rob from This Board Game Life as he unbags the goodie bag he picked up at the Gen Con AEG Big Game Night 2026. He walks through each of the four games he played at the event, showing off the components, player counts, and play times, and points out a couple of promo flyers tucked inside the bag too. Stick around for a look at everything included and find out which titles caught his eye.

The bag features a mix of AEG and Flat Out Games titles for a range of group sizes. Jumblejack is a 4–8 player hidden-identity deduction game built around a poseable pirate doll with magnetic accessories like a cape, hook hand, hat, and sword. Assemble is a small, light card game about building the ultimate team of heroes, while Word Hype is a word-guessing party game for 2–10 players in the vein of Codenames. Rounding it out is Honeypot, a 1–6 player game from designer Joseph Chen, plus flyers for upcoming Kickstarter titles Electrify and Whisper Stone.
