Calling all board game, cards and RPG enthusiasts: AdamCon, Cincinnati’s largest free board game convention, is back for a full weekend of fun.

AdamCon will be held Friday-Monday, Jan. 17-20 at Woodlawn Community Center. It’s free, but visitors are asked to have a badge, which you can get on AdamCon’s website.

At the convention, guests can play from over 200 games in the game library and take part in a variety of events. There will also be food vendors selling snacks, drinks and meals.

AdamCon is again raising money for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital through its raffle, which is offering a record number of prizes this year. In 2024, the convention raised more than $23,000 for the hospital through its raffle and nearly $40,000 since 2020. 

You can also purchase a raffle ticket online here if you are unable to make the convention but want to donate.

AdamCon runs from 6 p.m. to midnight Friday, 10 a.m. to midnight Saturday and Sunday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday.
