This includes entry into the convention for the entire weekend, a free game (first 250 badges), door prizes, open gaming, registering and attending events, library access, play-to-wins (“P2W”), and more!

TICKETED EVENTS:

There will be several returning favorites (Swap Meet, Klask tournament, etc.) and many new favorites! Event registration begins July 1.

What is the differences between a Badge and a Ticket?

A badge gets you in the door, access to the games library and play-to-wins, and the open gaming areas, along with free games and door prizes. A badge will also let you create (submit) and join EVENTS after July 1. Each seat/spot at an event is called a "ticket" in the tabletop.events system. While most events have free tickets, some will have a small cost for supplies, due to the nature of the event, etc.

What is a “Play to Win” (P2W)?

A large portion of the games available to check out and will be given away at the end of the convention. Play select games and have an opportunity to win them. A partnership with Double Exposure to provide even more titles to win.

You must pick up your games by 5 p.m. Sunday. Remaining games will be donated to a local board game charity.

For any games that were unplayed, there will be a random drawing.
