Frequently Asked Questions

A hosted game is a scheduled opportunity to play and/or learn a specific game for free. The person facilitating your hosted game may be one of the following:
- A FallCon Game Host is a FallCon Volunteer teaching and moderating multiple tables of a specific scheduled board game.
- A Guest Host is a host with specialized experience in particular games, such as RPGs, wargames, miniatures, and FallCon Classics.
RSVP for upcoming in person or online events on our FallCon Meetup page.
In person: Format is drop-in but start times for games varies. You can bring along a favourite game, or use the comments field to request a game you’d like to play. Another attendee may be able to bring and/or teach. Most of our events are presented by Game Hosts from FallCon.
Online: Online meetups typically start in Discord to divide into virtual tables (channels) to chat while playing online in boardgamearena.com (BGA). Both sites are free, but you will need to create a BGA account to play, and allow a few minutes to review our Discord server terms and conditions before your first gaming session.
You can update your name and address from your Cardboard Events account. Select the convention and use the actions to edit the details of your badge.
If you have purchased a badge, you can give the badge to someone in Cardboard Events. Log into your Cardboard Events account, select the convention, then select Transfer Badge under the Actions section.
In order for them to sign up for events independently, you must "give" the badge to their unique email address. Log into your Cardboard Events account, select the convention, then select Managed Badges under the Actions section to reassign them.
FallCon has an extensive game library onsite, so there is typically no need to bring personal games! However, if the library does not have the game available, or you have a copy with extras that you want to play, you can bring it to the convention. We recommend you label it or have your name and contact information inside. You bring a game at your own risk and will need to keep it with you, as it is considered a personal item. FallCon does not have any storage for personal items.
