Open Gaming Convention
Everyone knows the best part about any con is the open gaming... countless hours of play, hundreds of games, a huge community of friendly people waiting for you to join them at the table. These are not just your grandma's old parcheesi boards... NBW opens its doors Thursday morning at 9:00am and runs through Sunday, 6:00pm (some folks like to arrive on Wednesday night to get a little extra gaming in, either in their room or at the Crux. ) NBW is a friendly gathering of 200 to 300 gamers playing euro-games, war-games, heavy theme, cube pushers, social deduction, fillers, new releases, and gaming classics. There are no schedules or events to book, the whole convention is open/pickup gaming... and it really does pick up ! Start Wednesday night to hit the town, meet old or new friends, go grab a dinner at the Falls... and be ready to jump right in Thursday morning.
Gaming... Northern Style
You don't want to miss 4+ days of gaming in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. Book your stay, buy your pass, and game all weekend... you can even take a break to visit the scenic Niagara Falls, only a short cab ride from the hotel.
Niagara Boardgaming Weekend...
- Amazingly affordable one day, weekend, or full convention passes
- Stay right in the hotel you will play in, no travel required at all
- Meet a group of gamers you will know by name
- It's like a mini-version of the Origins CABS board room with a fraction of the cost and all the fun
