About The Event

Poster for Winter 2023

Since 2020, we've been running our convention online to protect players during the pandemic. When it's safe, we'll operate as a hybrid convention, simultaneously running offline and online sessions for people both in person and remotely, locally and internationally.
Since 2015, we've been hosting events where people can meet to share, explore & enjoy social games of all kinds on tabletops and screens. Originally one day twice a year, we're now a whole weekend each Winter. All are welcome within our code of conduct for a safe and fun experience, whether you're already in the gaming world, or just curious about what people play these days. We have plenty of virtual tables available, and each day is full of opportunities!

 

Games Library

(For mountain locals or people willing to visit us in June/August)

You can now borrow from our library of public games to enjoy them at home!. We're limiting it to one game per person, but you get to keep it for just over a month, including Ettin Con weekend!
