Frequently Asked Questions

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST BOARD GAME CONVENTION. HOW DOES IT WORK?

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. Badge holders may come and go from the hall as they please. Each badge holder can check out any game from The Vault and begin playing immediately. 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.

The convention will take place at Memorial Hall in Manitou Springs City Hall, located at: 606 Manitou Ave.Manitou Springs, CO80829
