This year we have THREE different gaming rooms: Table Top, RPG, and Video Gaming courtesy of 2D Con. Let the games begin!

Tabletop Gaming Room (Wood Duck Pond)
The Tabletop Gaming Room (located on 2nd floor, “Wood Duck Pond Room”) is a family friendly environment. Parents are responsible for their children, and children should not be left unattended. We have a large selection of tabletop games available for large and small groups to play. 

Tabletop Gaming Hours:
FRI 5 PM to 10 PM
SAT 10 AM to 10 PM
SUN 10 AM to 3 PM

Featured Tabletop Game Events
FRI 8 PM: Star Wars Outer Rims with Fan Expansion Hotshots.
This events has both the base game and Unfinished Business expansions. We have also obtained a professionally printed expansion adding new characters, tiles, and cards.
 
SAT Noon: Hero Quest Demo with 3D Dungeon.
This is a professionally painted Dungeon and miniatures. Experience and easy to learn and play dungeon crawl.
 
 
SUN Noon: Grand Archenemy
This has been an event that we have started at MarsCon and has been a fan favorite. This is a One vs Many event where a member of our staff will take on all comers to reign victorious! Our largest event was 1 v 13 and the largest one by our staff is 1 v 9. Let us see if we can break both of those records this year!
 
Open Gaming Library
As usual we will have our large and varied gaming library for use at the convention with plenty of play space. Also feel free to bring games to share as well.
 
A small sampling of games we will have available are: Ticket to Ride, Zombie Dice, Magic the Gathering, Star Wars Unlimited, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Robo Rally, Formula Day, Warhammer Munchkin, Starfarers of Catan, King of Tokyo, Splendor, Lords of Eaterseep, SOL, Beyond the Sun, and many others. Some of these games were kickstarter only and not released to the general public.
 
Matt McMillan and the rest of the Twin Cities Game Fest team will be happy to meet old and new conventions friends. Additionally the wonderful people at Midwest Jedi are helping to sponsor us this year. We look forward to seeing you in gaming!
