What are Participation Games?

Basically, they are what it says on the tin: games designed for the public to join in and have some fun. Unlike the many tournament games which generally require prior registration, participation games are open to anyone who shows an interest. They represent a window into the gaming community; a great opportunity to explore the range and depth of this wonderful hobby: miniatures games; Eurogames; card games; fantasy/sci-fi games and historical games are all featured. Participation games at CANCON are run by experts and enthusiasts eager to help you learn about their corner of the gaming world. Game systems range from cutting edge innovations to old favourites, but all offer you a chance to find your gaming identity.

Vampire: The Eternal Struggle (VTES) Wings of Glory WW1 Vietnam - A little bit of Soul Mobamon

VTES is a collectable card game designed by Richard Garfield (designer of Magic the Gathering).
Set in the World of Darkness, VTES players are ancient vampires seeking to overpower their rivals with cunning and brute strength.
VTES is designed for a table of 5 players but is still enjoyable with fewer players.
Games typically last 2-3 hours but using a timer to finish games early is common.
Pre-constructed decks will be provided but experienced players are invited to bring their own.

In 1914-1918, the Knights of the Air jousted in their flying machines. This game has been run every year, Pandemics permitting, since 2012. The system is the award winning Wings of War/Wings of Glory miniatures system from Nexus and Ares games. It takes 5 minutes to m learn, but a lifetime to master.

All miniatures will be provided, including Snoopy in his Sopwith Camel if desired.

Imagine you’re the Australian section commander ordered to clear the local village of VC.
YOU make the decisions – good or bad your men rely on your leadership.

Mobamon is the first board game to successfully merge the strategic depth of MOBAs like League of Legends and DOTA 2 with the beloved monster-collecting mechanics of Pokémon.
This isn’t just another arena game—it’s a complete tactical warfare experience where every Mobamon has unique abilities, every evolution matters, and every soul you claim brings you closer to victory.
