Play-to-Win games

Hot Games
Several tables will be allocated to “Hot Games” during the convention. Hot Games are newer or trending games that are getting a lot of buzz in the board game community. These will be set up so that attendees can sit down and try them throughout the weekend.
Event Submissions
Badge holders may also submit their own events for other attendees to attend. Typically, this is geared towards specific games that you’d like to play and would be willing to teach to other guests. We make our best efforts to accommodate guest event submissions. Event submissions are handled through the tabletop.events site.
Contact us at cardboardcaucus@gmail.com if you have questions about events or an idea for an event that will need special accommodations.
Game Garage Sale
Back by popular demand, we will host a board game “garage sale” on Sunday of the convention weekend. You can purchase a seller’s table or just browse and haggle for gently used games at a good price.
Artemis
Returning this year is the space bridge simulation game, Artemis.
