Welcome to the homepage for our 11th anniversary mini-con.
This Memorial Day weekend (May 22-24), we're hosting three days of gaming and events. There will be raffles and prizes and gift bags with hundreds of dollars worth of games and stuff.
We had a blast doing this last year for our 10th anniversary and so we're doing it again this year.
There are some tournaments planned, as well as some games hosted by Danny! with more to come as we figure out the schedule.
Speaking of scheduling - we have game scheduling so that you can make sure that the games you want to play are filled AND so you can maximize your gaming weekend!
Tournaments
$15 buys your seat - OR pay absolutely NOTHING if you have bought your 3-Day EmpireCon Pass. That's right, not only do you get three days of gaming, swag bags, and game scheduling - your Pass also nets you entry into tournaments held during the long weekend!
Join us on May 23rd at 12 PM for Wingspan.
We'll be playing without any expansions, add-ons, or promos - just good ol' base Splendor!
All entry fees go towards the prizes - which means that the more players, the greater the rewards.
So tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell complete strangers and put it all on the line for the brass ring!

Sunday May 24th we're playing with the Heat Championship System.
It's a whole season in one day! Players customize their car before each race and placement is worth a number of points towards winning the whole circuit. Be careful, though, as the weather, road conditions, and events will change every race!

Events by DANNY!
Danny is hosting some of his favorite oddball and social games!
What a fuss. The frightfully fearsome feudal lord Fieso has held the fascinating fairy Fabula in captivity since the famous February festivities. In order to free the fairy must you redeem her from the Fieso's fetid and fusty feculent fetter. Frustrated you flee into the Finnish fjords in order to fetch a few of the fascinating fetishes so highly favored by the foul prince. Frantically you begin bartering with the local folks: a few Florins will get you some Fish which can be traded for Flowers, which again can be traded for Fur, Fruits, Flutes, Fettucine, Furniture, Fuel, Fiddles or maybe even a fridge. When your finances allow you to obtain 3 different fetishes you have won the game.
The mascot racing betting game that needs no introduction (other than this one!) You know it, you’ve maybe even played it - but you haven’t truly experienced it until you’ve played it as announced by Danny!
We'll have PitchCar set up the whole weekend for both drop-in play AND scheduled fun!
Build your own track, choose your car, and pitch it! Choose the best trajectory using the safety rails, stay on your wheels and don't go off the track if you don't want a penalty! This outstandingly beautiful game of skill is made of wood and is composed of 16 track parts, which allow you to build a vast number of 3.9 meter long tracks.
