Indie Mega Booth is arguably easier to get lost in than all of PAX itself. During PAX East, I found myself wandering the many games for several hours, easily losing track of time to the myriad of interesting projects.

Not only will there be more games than possible to play all of them during a single weekend, but there will be a Non-Exploding Kittens room in partnership with Exploding Kittens (one of the most popular Kickstarted card games ever) and Meow Cat Rescue. This cafe will both be an adoption opportunity for visitors, as well as a fundraiser for Meow Cat Rescue, which is a non-profit animal shelter.
In conclusion, PAX West is already packed to the brim with games and cats! What more could anyone possibly want?! It’s a shame I won’t get to go to this one, but we will have several writers at the event, covering all the awesomeness at ground zero.
