Best Of2024

Every year, fans of board games, role-playing games, cards and more come out to AdamCon, the Tri-State’s largest board game convention. AdamCon features over 1,000 games in its library, along with a variety of events, including the GI Joe RPG and a Monster’s Glare card tournament at its most recent convention, to board game demos and more. There’s also a big raffle with hundreds of prizes, and the proceeds go toward helping others, like those at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. theadamcon.com.
