At any Game-itoba event, or any event where Game-itoba is providing a gaming space, we ask that participants help us provide an excellent gaming experience for everybody. We strongly believe all participants, regardless of their gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion should feel safe and included.

If you have any concerns about the behaviour of another participant, please bring those concerns to a member of Game-itoba Staff as soon as possible so that we may address your concern. We ask that you support Game-itoba and each other to ensure our gaming community is one of inclusion and respect!

Be excellent to each other.
Harassment, disorderly conduct (behaviour or language that is discriminatory, obscene or abusive) will not be tolerated. Such behaviour may result in ejection from the event or gaming space. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Game-itoba is a family-friendly event.
Consumption of intoxicants, possession or display of weapons (real or imitation) are not appropriate behaviour. Welcome participants to your games of all ages as appropriate. Let’s help nurture the next generation of gamers with excellent gamespersonship.

Show off your Game-itoba badge with pride.
At events organized by Game-itoba directly, Game-itoba badges must be worn at all times and displayed prominently while on-site. Use the sections on the badge to let everyone know who you are and how you would like to be addressed.  Badges are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and cannot be replaced. If you do not have your badge, you will not be allowed entry.

At events where Game-itoba is providing a gaming space for another event/organization, the badging/wristband policy of that event applies

Cosplay.
Game-itoba asks that participants consider suitability of a costume in the context of a tabletop gaming environment in confined spaces. Game-itoba reserves the right to ask participants to remove/modify costume items that may cause offense, present a safety concern or are likely to contribute to obstructions within the gaming space.

Games library.
The majority of our library belongs to gamers just like you, who have been kind enough to lend us their games for the event. Please handle the games with care, repack them as you found them (or better) and ensure games are returned before the end of the event. If damage or loss occurs, parts are missing or there are other issues with a game please let us know as quickly as possible. If you find random board-game components (meeples, tokens, rules sheets) please return them to the Game-itoba Library so they can be reunited with their box.
