Join ASC for a day-long event focusing on the science behind popular games of all varieties -- from video to board and high-tech to low-tech. Delve into social media as well with Foursquare check-in points, Instagram photo ops and the opportunity to contribute to a special Tumblr blog.
Event highlights include:
