  Gaming Programming

This year, the gaming room will be bigger and better than ever before. We have a wide range of gaming events—including Board Games, Collectible Card Games, Role Playing Games, and Miniature Games. The gaming area will be split between dealers and game manufacturers, offering many types of games for purchase, and our dedicated team of Game Masters, running all sorts of games for your enjoyment. In addition, tables will be available for open gaming. The whole weekend will be filled with strategy, adventure, fun…and a few surprises.
