KingCon Postponed

Rather than scramble and offer an inferior experience, it has been decided to postpone KingCon until the Fall giving us time to find a new venue. This will give us time to make KingCon an even better event than it would have been this May. It is unfortunate that the hotel garage collapsed, but we will make the best of it and make it an event to remember! As soon as we have that new date, we will post it on the KingCon website: www.kingcon.ca.

Meanwhile, certain events will happen anyway. The Warhammer 40K and Fantasy events will take place at Kingston's Gaming Nexus on the 15th and 16th of May. The Board Game Blitz will run at Minotaur on Sunday, May 16th. 4-Colour 8-Bit will run it's Legacy Tounament on Sunday, May 16th as planned.

Soviet Era Board Games

I don't read Russian, so I have no idea what the names of these board games are, let alone how they were played, but I love the artwork. Some of the box art is awfully dire.
