PPG is honored and excited to have you as our guest for the weekend. The convention doors open on Friday at 5:00PM and close on Sunday at 3:00PM.

Grab some friends, make new ones, teach games you know, or learn new ones…our primary goal is to provide a relaxing and fun space to play quality board games.
