    CALLING ALL GAME RUNNERS!

    Board games! Card games! RPGs and minis! Nuke-Con is ready for you to bring your best-loved game — or maybe the one you need 5 players for when there’s only three players in your home group. Or do you have a game design you want to play-test?

    There will be about 500 gamers looking for something to play. Time for all you folks who love games to decide which ones you’re going to share with the rest of us.

    Don’t delay! The sooner you get your game into the schedule, the better your chances of getting exactly the slot you want. Submit your event and thank you for sharing your favorite game!

    GAMER GARAGE SALE – New System!

    Unleash your inner Marie Kondo and declutter your game hoard at the Nuke-Con Gamer Garage Sale!

    This year, it’s gamers selling directly to gamers, so you can ditch the silent auction suspense and snag those board game bargains before someone crits your wallet.

    Sell your gently used (or maybe not-so-gently used) games and accessories to fellow fanatics. It’s the perfect way to make some extra cash for new loot (or pizza, we won’t judge).

    Saturday, October 5th from 12-2 pm. Get all the details on the Gamer Garage Sale Page
