Quickfire Questions with… Knavecon
Limerick is geting ready for more dice, tabletop miniatures and cards than it can handle. Knavecon, the boardgame convention, is just around the corner. I will be popping along for a few hours Saturday to get my tabletop fix. First though, I was lucky enough to get some time with the organisers for a very quick chat. Knavecon is on this Saturday, 8th September! So super quick! This is Quickfire Questions with afterall!
Arcade: So what is Knavecon all about?
Knavecon: Knavecon is Ireland’s Boardgame convention. We provide an environment for gamers to get together and play boardgames, either ones they bring themselves or borrow from our large library. It’s a laid back non competitive fun event that runs official from 10am in the morning until 4am or so the next day.
It is perfect for people to meet up with other gamers and kick back and enjoy their hobby in a relaxed friendly comfortable environment. It’s also perfect for new gamers to try out and maybe get involved. Aside from the massive library of games, there’s free coffee all day to keep people sharp, kids corner for younger gamers, game shops, buy and sell of second hand games, events, raffle.
