Badges - Once again, to honor our loyal attendees, we will be offering a discounted Early Bird Badge for a limited time before badges will return to full price on September 1st. Badge sales will pause a week before the convention to allow us time to prepare and print but will be available for purchase at the door.Game Library, Play-to-Win, and Prizes
We are excited to bring back Board Game Wagon to provide our game library. They will have a curated selection of more than 1500 games for you to choose from! Library Hours (approximate) Friday: 12pm-11pm; Saturday: 8am-11pm; Sunday: 8am-3pm
We will also have play-to-win games (play a designated game and be entered into a drawing to win a copy of that game), tournaments with prizes, and prizes for helpers!
Events & Tournaments
Badge holders can reserve tickets for the events and tournaments during Capital City Gaming Con. Tickets are free (except for some special events as listed) and allow the badge holder to reserve a seat at the table for that particular event or game. Event signups close a week before the con and we will transition to in-person signups for events. The event signups will be located in binders at the registration desk.
Capital City Gaming Con will also host a series of "special events" that includes tournaments (with prizes) and events hosted by the con or community partners like local/regional board game businesses or influencers. We strive to offer a variety of experiences for badge holders.
Badge holders can also host events. Attendee submitted events will open September 1st and will be publicly available for signups October 1st.
Children
Children ages 5-10 can register for a $5 kids badge or get a regular badge. Kids badges cannot be used to checkout games or be entered into the Play-to-Win drawing. Children 11+ will need a full badge.
Food
Due to our contract with the hotel, we are not allowed to bring in food trucks or other food sellers. The hotel offers breakfast from 6am-10am and dinner from 6pm-10pm. One of the bonuses to the hotel’s location is its easy access to 60+ food options within 1.5 miles. Many of these offer delivery through third party delivery services like Door Dash, Uber Eats, and Grub Hub.
Parking
The best place to park is on the north end of the building, where there is a separate entrance for our convention!
