Who are you planning to catch up up with at the next Play Con? Perhaps it's a once a year meet-up, or a close buddy? Give 'em a shout out!

Well, we were super chuffed to receive this comment from our colleagues in the board game space, Thinker Themer, regarding Play Con. 🙏

"PlayCon was hands-down one of the most welcoming and well-organised events we attended in 2024. The Boardgame BBQ team are true experts at creating an incredible atmosphere that makes everyone feel right at home. We can’t wait to see how they build on this success and make it even better in 2025!"

We're really excited to see Amy and Maggie, and all of our content creators in 2025! 🇦🇺🦘❤️

So who are you meeting, or hoping to have a game with at Play Con?

Someone deserves a sticker ... 🤣.

It's so cool seeing a picture of someone who managed to defeat our ticketing system against all odds haha! Well done Rhiannon, and thanks everyone for a fantastic start. Our hearts are full ❤.

Want merch? You got it, and it's freaking hot🔥.

Here we unveil the Official Play Con 2025 t-shirt which you will be able to pre-order with your tickets. It's cyberpunk-fantasy, and it's perfect.

This shirt was designed by Sam Phillips of Sam Phillips Illustration, best known for the artwork behind many of the Garphill Games such as the Circadians Series, Hadrian's Wall, Raiders of Scythia and many more. Funds raised from the purchase of the shirt will again be going to a charity of Sam's choosing, which is KidsCan, an organisation helping kiwi kids facing poverty.

What do you need to know?
* The shirt is in one colour only, similar to what is shown in the image.
* The shirt is available in men's and women's sizes only. No children's sizes.
* The cost is $35.
* For pre-order only.
* For pick-up only at Play Con.
* Will you regret not pre-ordering? Probably🤣.

We are so excited to show you this. So who's in?

Play Con. Bring it on 💪.

So we got you all excited, and now we have nothing to say ... yet. We're just one big tease right? There will be announcement coming soon though! ❤️

Can you think of a game that requires you to be patient? Maybe a game you still enjoy, but you have to wait a long time between turns?

A game that comes to mind is T'zolkin. Those cogs can be quite frustrating as you wait for them to hit their mark, and often you've mistimed things anyway! 🤣🤦

Are you ready for round 2 of the largest board game focused convention in Australia?

If your pumped, can you leave us an emoji below? Something cool! 🤟👏🫶. Is there an emoji for being so excited, that we may just wet our pants? 🤣

Stay tuned, for an announcement in the next week! Keep an eye out on our socials and be sure to follow our Play Con page to get notified first.

The Play Con team are super psyched for 2025 and we hope you are too!!

We were so lucky at Play Con 2024, to have well known designers from Joey Games , Garphill Games and Wallace Designs teaching their games, both current and upcoming. Did you get a chance to play a game with Phil, Sam, Bobby or Martin? If so, how was it?

So, if you could pick any designer, which one would you choose and what game would you like them to teach you?
