About this event
The gaming area is a hugely popular destination for OH!CON and we aim to get as many new folk playing games of all kinds as we can. We want to encourage complete beginners to take part, as well as more experienced players. We are looking for people who are happy to work alongside the fabulous people from Gateway Nerds to lead a range of boardgames, for a range of ages and abilities (young and old, new and experienced players). We also offer VR sessions, TTRPGs, retro-gaming and wargaming.
