Northern FanCon’s guest list just rolled the dice on a new guest, and we have a winner.

In addition to being an actor and comedian, Becca Scott is also a tabletop gaming enthusiast of late-night talk show proportion­s.

Her film and television credits include the recurring role of Katie in Fail Lab, the series Tween Fest, the TV movie Hacker, and an episode in the mega-hit show This Is Us. She’s also the eponymous co-lead in the series Gregg & Becca with Gregg Maxwell.

It is her gaming side that really pushes her buttons, and her trip to Prince George will include some of that activity. She calls her board game interest more of an addiction, which is why she one of the internet’s most sought-after tutorial personalit­ies.

She is host of the online shows Game The Game and also How To Play.

Her YouTube channel has more than 4,400 subscriber­s. There you can find helpful (and hilarious) segments on all the latest board games, tabletop titles, and other ways to enjoy leisure time. The segments often include special guests from the analogue gaming and popular culture world (more than a million views for the one where she plays Lanterns: The Harvest Festival oncamera with Ivan Van Norman, Zac Eubank and Wil Wheaton).

“Stay tuned for what Becca has in store for her Northern FanCon appearance,” said event coordinato­r Norm Coyne.

What will that be? Let’s make a game of it and try to guess.

Northern FanCon will throw all its cards on the table from May 3-5 at CN Centre.

Tickets are on sale now at the CN Centre box office or at the TicketsNor­th website.
