TANTRUMCON EVENTS

Thanks to our generous sponsors and our partnership with Envoy we'll have a HUGE collection of games set aside at TantrumCon for you to play and potentially win!! Select a game from the Play-to-Win table, play it with your friends, and then add your names to the checksheet for a chance to be randomly selected to win it! The drawing for our Play-to-Wins happens on the last day of the con so you'll have plenty of time to play lots of games and get your name entered multiple times!

TantrumCon TournaMeals are legendary! These "eat and compete" events allow gamers to sit down and enjoy a meal while learning how to play a new game. Usually sponsored and hosted by designers or publisher, these big group events give you chance to make the most of your time and budget! They change each year and usually sell out quickly. View the event schedule to learn more and register for your spot at the table.

One of our most anticipated events each year is the Table Flipping Tournament that takes place every night at TantrumCon! There's trivia, prizes, and of course some crazy table flipping action! Audience members compete in a trivia battle for the privilege of teaming up with Special Guests in order to take place in the official flip! It's a slow-motion once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that's a great show for all!

TantrumCon hosts a number of different regional, state, and national championship tournaments each year. From the prestigious National Catan Qualifier and Crokinole World Championships to the North Carolina Board Game State Championships and hilarious Moonpie Eating Tournament (hosted by Rolling Dice and Taking Names) TantrumCon is THE place to compete!
