Event description

Wellycon - the biggest, fun friendly board gaming convention in New Zealand. The con is run by a core group of volunteers with the aim of building community through games.  There will be plenty of bright characters to play games with - over 2000 people come just to play with you!

We have a huge game library (more than 1100 games to choose from) brought along by attendees (Wellycon doesn’t own any games), a friendly atmosphere, and volunteers to help you choose a game and meet up with others who like similar things.

Special events change every year; this year we have:

  • Play-to-win - borrow a game from the Play-to-win table, give it a try, and go into the draw to win it! Over 100 games in the PTW this year.
  • Prototype event - try out & give feedback on new games in development. Prize draw for participants.
  • Tournaments - several, including Pandemic Survival which is unique to Wellycon in NZ. Try out in pairs against others running the same scenario and see who saves the planet!
  • Try it out - Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), Call of Cthulu, Blood on the Clocktower, Table Top gaming, Chess and others. Trial sessions run by an experienced gamer, storyteller or Dungeon Master to get you started.
  • Quiet room - if you'd like a more secluded time with less people, we're here for you.
  • Late night Friday - game on into the morning, energy drinks provided!
  • Buy, Sell, Swap - find a new loving home for that game you just don't get to the table any more.
  • Food - pre-order your Grab&Go meal from Zephyr Cafe to save interrupting your gaming time!

Wellycon has a theme game every year, come along and find out what it is!
