- For rooms with dividers that can be opened, we'll be opening those spaces to create the "Big Hall" feel that many attendees requested.

Bring N Buy : Sell More - Buy More
Due to the great success of previous years game market, we are keeping the INCREASED number of items each seller can offer at the "Bring n' Buy" event on Saturday. You may now bring up to 25 games for sale. You will still need to fill out a "seller registration form" AND an "item form" for each one and they can be found on the bring n buy page. Games for sale should be kept in your room or vehicle until Saturday morning as there is very little room for storage prior to the Saturday sales event.
Open Gaming Convention
Everyone knows the best part of any con is the open gaming. Long stretches of play, hundreds of games, and a welcoming community ready to pull up a chair and get you into a game. This is not your grandma’s old board game shelf.
NBW is a friendly gathering of a few hundred gamers coming together for nonstop, open, pick up gaming. You will find euro games, war games, heavy thematic titles, cube pushers, social deduction, quick fillers, brand new releases, and all time classics hitting the tables around the clock. There are no schedules to manage and no events to reserve, games start organically and keep rolling as long as players are ready.
Many attendees arrive early to ease into the experience, reconnect with friends, meet new faces, grab a meal, and get some games going before things really ramp up. When the convention kicks into full gear, it is easy to jump right in, find a table, and play as much or as little as you want, whenever you want.
