Join us August 23-25th at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, for FallCon 37, Western Canada's longest running tabletop gaming convention. Brought to you by the FallCon Gaming Society, a volunteer-run, non-profit organization, this annual gaming convention has been running in Calgary for more than 37 years. We believe in the power of board games to bring people together: People + Games = Better Communities and Relationships The prime focus of the FallCon annual convention is to provide a welcoming environment for all to experience a wide variety of games and events, whether it be hosted games (with teachers), play-testing prototype games, giving TTRPG a try (think Dungeons & Dragons), visiting exhibitors, or painting miniatures. As the convention grows, we strive to maintain FallCon’s community feel. We invite beginners, families, expert gamers, and those curious about the board gaming hobby to join us. Whether you come solo or bring friends for a weekend of boardgaming at FallCon, use our app to browse scheduled games or watch for tables looking for more players! Advanced badge sales continue through August 16th (or while quantities last) and will be available for purchase at the door. Let the Games Begin!
