FallCon Gaming Society

The FallCon Gaming Society is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that has presented an annual board game convention in Calgary since 1987. What began as a yearly weekend of playing board games has expanded into an annual convention and year-round board-gaming events.

At the FallCon Gaming Society, we believe in the power of board games to bring people together. Gathering around the table to play a game promotes connection and relationship-building while crossing generational, racial, gender, ability, and socioeconomic boundaries.

People + Games = Better Communities, Families, and Relationships

The FallCon Convention
FallCon is an annual three-day Board Game and Miniature Convention in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The convention is produced by the FallCon Gaming Society, a non-profit organization, run entirely by volunteers, united in their passion for tabletop gaming.

The prime focus of the FallCon annual convention is to provide a welcoming environment for all to experience a wide variety of games and events, including hosted games, tournaments, play-testing prototype games, engaging with exhibitors, and taking part in a live auction of 300 games.

As the convention grows, we strive to maintain FallCon’s community feel. Each year, we welcome more than 800 attendees to our event, many returning year after year. We invite beginners, families, and anyone curious about board gaming to join us. Whether you come solo or bring friends and family for a weekend of board gaming at FallCon, our volunteers will help match players with tables seeking more players. Our volunteer Game Hosts are also on hand to help select and teach games from our Open Gaming Library, as well as to host and teach games from scheduled signups. FallCon is the ideal place to celebrate the best of unplugged gaming and develop new (or renew) gaming friendships that you can connect with throughout the year.
