If games be the food of life, play on!
So many games, how will you play them all? During SnowCon weekend you give it your best try. To make it easier we use an online scheduling tool called Warhorn. When you register for SnowCon online, Warhorn creates a profile for you that allows you to view the weekend gaming schedule online and choose the games you want to play. Warhorn won’t allow you to double book yourself in the same time slot. What games you’re playing and when will always be visible so you can find time to eat. (Amateur!)
What games are available to play? We’re glad you asked.
Board Games
Board games of every shape, size and level can be found on the schedule. Many of these are open to the novice or new player with a seasoned game master guiding your way to maximize your fun.
