Mik, Starla, and Grant of Our Family Plays Games are the founders and leadership team behind the Omaha Gaming Convention (OGC).


They are committed to building on the success that was started with the first Omaha Gaming Convention in July 2026. Their vision is to make OGC 2027 an even bigger, better, and more memorable experience for the gaming community.


As OGC continues to grow, Mik, Starla, and Grant are determined to establish Omaha, Nebraska and the Omaha Gaming Convention as a must-visit destination for gamers from across the country and around the world, especially those seeking something different from the traditional convention experience. Their vision is to create a truly elevated board gaming experience where diversity, inclusion, and community are not just ideals, but core values at the heart of everything OGC represents.
