First, there was the show.

WeAreBoard is a weekly podcast about board games and the people who play them. WABCON is what happens when the listeners finally meet.

Listen to the show

Three days, one very long table.

Stacks of board games ready to be traded

The great game swap

Bring the games you never play and trade them for someone else's.

Shelves of board games in an open play library

Open play, all weekend

A library of hundreds of games, with volunteers happy to teach any of them.

WABPOD trivia

Teams, prizes, and zero mercy for anyone who skips episodes.

The Biñho tournament

Single elimination, one champion. Sign up and follow the bracket live.

After dark

We rented a whole house, so the party games end when we say they end.

Your hosts, in the flesh.

The three voices in your headphones, live on stage all three days.
