What is Rook’s Con?

Rook’s Con is an annual boardgame convention in our very own City of Bozeman. Rook’s Con will be held May 23rd - 27th. Rook’s Con is for anyone who enjoys playing and learning games. We want to encourage playing games, socializing and having fun. We will have competitive events as well as demos and a extensive open gaming library in order to provide options for all types of players.

How Does It Work?

Over 5 days of gaming at Rook’s Con we will be running Demos, Heats and Open Gaming.

• Demos: During scheduled times, demos will teach people about the 50+ games scheduled at Rook’s Con. The demo will provide a rules overview as well as have a GM available to answer any rules questions. You are welcome to attend any demo even if you decide not to play in any heats of that game. All badges will have access to game demos.

• Heats: Heats are for casual and competitive players who want to enjoy games with new people at Rook’s Con. Heats will also provide an opportunity to qualify for semi finals, finals and earn Rook’s Baubles and prizes for the game.

What are Baubles?

Baubles will serve as Rook’s Con lifetime points system. This system will recognize players who have placed highly in the competitive portion of Rook’s Con. Making a final table at Rook’s Con will earn you Baubles, the number of Baubles will be determined by the total player count and length of the game. These Baubles will be displayed on Rook’s Con badges in future years as well as on the Rook’s Con website.
