Event Sign Up Forms

Image
Sign-ups will be processed on a first-come-first served basis for ticket holders, volunteers and event hosts - if the game is full we will do our best to mark that on the form and start a waitlist with other interested folks. That being said, please only sign up for games that you are prepared to attend! Any open seats left in games will be able to be claimed at the staff desk in person once the convention has started.  Game info can be found online using  Board Game Geek . If possible, we recommend watching a learn-to-play video or reading an overview ahead of time for longer games you may be unfamiliar with.  You can find the scheduled events  here  in visual format to help plan your time at the con.  Have fun, and happy gaming!   FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY

You'll meet new people to play games with and maybe even win a door prize!  If you would like to sign up for our planned events ahead of time (remember - space is limited for most games), event registration will open closer to the date (stay tuned via socials!).  --- Interested in volunteering to help run th...
