Our Founders
Rooted in three years of collaboration, Our Family Plays Games (OFPG) and The Board Game Wagon (BGW) decided to launch this convention. Together, they’ve hosted numerous successful game nights and other board game events in Omaha. They have participated in conventions locally and across the country. As industry professionals and dedicated hobbyists, they know what they want from a board game convention and it is their goal to deliver that experience with OGC.
