Welcome to CoreCon's non-electronic gaming room! We have a wide variety of games for all convention attendees to choose from. To sign up for all games, there will be sign-up sheets provided at the gaming information table. There will also be blank sign-up sheets for last minute pick-up games. So if you haven't pre-registered a game, you still have the chance to run your game at CoreCon!
The Game Central room also has an extensive Game Library for its attendees to use during the convention. So if you have a little down time, come on over to the Game Central room and grab a game! All we ask is that the games stay in the Game Central room, and you help us keep the Game Library games in good shape.
