What is a gaming convention?


Gaming conventions are great places to try out new games and meet new people to play games with!


The venue will be organized into a vendor market and areas to play different categories of tabletop games. 

This year Kootenay Con will feature areas for Board Games, Role Playing Games (RPGs) (like Dungeons and Dragons), miniature battle games (like Warhammer) and collectible card games (like Magic the Gathering). 

Throughout the weekend, there will be game hosts at designated tables ready to teach groups of people how to play specific games, as well as a large free play area where you can play any game you bring from home or borrow from the board game library. 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!).
