   FallCon is the largest and only boardgame convention in Calgary, Alberta featuring a broad range of modern boardgames and miniatures. During the three day convention, attendees can learn new games by signing up for hosted game or check-out a game from the library in the open gaming session (ambassadors are available to make game recommendations or to help with rules / finding other players). The family friendly event also features a live auction Saturday night and a Flea Market Sunday morning. The 2017 event will be at SAIT.Calgary has a strong boardgame community, which the Calgary Herald credits to events like FallCon and game store The Sentry Box [1]. The convention is managed by a team of four directors and the approximately 30 Board Game Ambassadors, who all volunteer to teach boardgames to the general public. The event started as a group of wargamers putting up their own money to rent the hall for the weekend and play games with a few of their friends. in 2010 FallCon had approximately 400 attendees, and has expanded 5–10% per year since. In 2015 FallCon has an extensive 1400+ boardgame library listed on boardgamegeek.com under the user name DBezzant. FallCon holds a 400 used game auction that only takes 2hrs to complete on the Saturday evening of the event. 2015 FallCon announced some changes to the line-up of their event, including a giant version of King of Tokyo. The online signup for hosted games has been reduced to only the select few staples of FallCon: 12 Man Titan, Formula De, Roborally and Circus Maximus. Several gameshow type events has also been added, including Wheel of Fortune, Wits & Wagers and Things in a Box, and a Family Game Zone has been added. FallCon 365 is a directive managed by one of the FallCon Ambassadors to expand the Boardgame community to the general public. This directive hosts approximately a dozen different free gaming events each month. These events a generally held at local game stores, the Legion 285, or at several Calgary Co-Op grocery store community rooms.
