EGS
Hello! We're RIT's Electronic Gaming Society (EGS), a student-led club on campus with the goal of providing a central hub for fans of casual games to meet, play video games, and have a blast doing so in an open and laid back environment. Keeping in line with this goal, EGS has partnered with Tora-Con to host a dedicated game room alongside other student-led clubs RITFGC and RWAG. The aim is to provide a space where convention-goers will have the opportunity to play a number of games, and generally just have a moment to catch their breath from the excitement of Tora-Con. In this game room, EGS intends to host a variety of casual pick-up and put-down party games such as Mario Kart, Mario Party, Wii Sports, Smash Bros, and potentially others! Stop by, stay for a while, play some games, but most importantly: have fun!
