KantCon 2019 July 19 - 21

Looking to Try New Board Games? KantCon has you Covered!

We will be bringing back our massive KantCon board game collection this year so you can play some favorites, and try out new games. Now I know, who wants to spend all that time reading a rulebook at a convention? Don’t worry, we’re still going to be offering our Board Games on Demand events! In these sessions, one of our board game gurus will teach you the rules so you can just focus on playing. Their availability will be on Warhorn, so you know when and where to meet them to learn a new game! No board game experience at KantCon would be complete without our Play-to-Win games! There will be special games at the convention that you can try playing, which adds your name to a lousy for that game. Then, on Sunday, one random player from each list will be chosen to take the game home with them! There’s no extra buy-in for this, just your KantCon badge! You’ll need to be present to win on Sunday.

We are looking for ways to help boost financial support of KantCon without resorting to raising badge prices. One thing we are considering is trying to sell more merchandise, assuming this is something our attendees are interested in. Please help us out by filling out this short survey! https://forms.gle/JRSFZaJ9xnrygpyJ8 Also, don’t forget, our event submission is now open! We are taking submissions for any and all games you want to run at KantCon. All you need to do is fill out the form here after you have a badge: https://www.kantcon.com/event-submission

Do you like KantCon and want to see it continue for years to come? Then we need your help!  We're looking to add motivated gamers to our volunteer and coordinator staff.  It takes a lot of time and energy to keep a convention running smoothly, but with a great team the load is distributed evenly and easier to bear.  Without appropriate staff at the convention, attendees may struggle to find and enjoy their events.  And without appropriate coordinators working behind the scenes, KantCon may struggle to organize and exist in the future.  Whether you only have a few hours to spare or are interested in more involvement, we’d love to hear from you!  In return for your efforts, you’ll get a free badge to the convention, a few other rewards, and pride in knowing that you’ve contributed to an awesome gaming community in Kansas City.
