OTONACON BOARD GAME CONVENTION
OtonaCon Board Game Convention is the premiere four day tabletop gaming event in the Kawarthas! OtonaCon offers tabletop gamers all they can ask for in a four day gaming event.
​
Why would you want to come to OtonaCon?
​
The obvious response is that you love board games, of which OtonaCon has many. We have a library of over 400 games that attendees can check out, learn, and play. Within those games we have Eurogames, Ameristyle, Wargames, Party Games, Dexterity Games, and Card Games, so you’ll be able to find something that interests you at anytime of the day!
​
Maybe you want to buy new games for your collection or perhaps sell some games that you no longer play? We have a Bring and Buy Auction, where attendees can buy and sell their games to other attendees on the Saturday of the convention! It is an extremely popular and successful event, often with over 300 games being available for sale!
​
Each year we feature tournaments of some of the most popular games out there! Tournaments are a wonderful way to play great games with people you may not know, and therefore, make some new friends! Oh yeah, and you can win some prizes too!
​
One of the toughest things about coming to a convention is finding people to game with. What we have done at OtonaCon is created the Play Your Fave Gaming Project. Attendees are asked to teach and play their favourite games with other attendees at the convention. Why do we do this? We do this to encourage our attendees to meet other people at the convention, while sharing their favourite games, and form new bonds and friendships with people, while building the board gaming community.
​
Hopefully the above reasons whet your appetite to make the trip to Peterborough for a three day board gaming extravaganza! While you are here, you can make a vacation of it and not spend all of your time gaming. We have many amazing tourist spots within the city for you to visit! Below is a short list of some of those amazing spots and some local restaurants.
