Welcome to Game-iToba, Winnipeg’s new gaming convention. Get to know us a little better by reading all about us and our mission.
For up to the minute news, events and information be sure to follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
~~More pictures coming soon!~~
We had a quest for everyone who won a game at Game-iToba 2018. Inspired by Wil Wheaton's TableTop show, we wanted to celebrate any winner of a competitive game, or the winning team of cooperative game or scenario (e.g. Flash Point, Pandemic, or everyone living through an RPG scenario).
Winners are immortalized here in our 2018 Champion Album. At the con they also received a tiny trophy (champ bison meeple) and a ticket* for the Champions Prize draw, which includes Pirate Fluxx with a promo card thanks to Looney Labs, Codenames, and Forbidden Desert.
The more games they won, the better the chances were to get a prize and the bigger their herd grew!
*Games must have taken more than 15 minutes to play to keep odds fair
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first convention that took place Nov. 16 to 18, 2018!
Game-iToba 2018 featured drop-in games, scheduled games, tournaments & play to wins, local vendors and organizations, miniature painting demos, and The Vault (a giant pick up and play library of over 600 games). #boardgames #cardgames #RPGs #Miniatures

CTV News Winnipeg did a great segment on Game-iToba 2018 (Scroll to 20:25 on the Nov. 17, 2018 video)! They captured some great shots of local designers and their games: Chinook Games' Borders of Kanta, Googly Beard Games' Over da' Boards, Paragon Studios' Mythic, and James Van Niekerk's Minions of Mordak! As well the free painting demos put on by Maxx Collectibles and members of the Manitoba Model Soldier Society.
