2025 THEME: CITIES
We built this city on 🪨 AND 🎲!!
RinCon is an annual 3-day tabletop gaming convention hosted by the Southern Arizona Gamers’ Association, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. RinCon 2025 will be held at the Casino Del Sol Conference Center on tribal lands of the Pascua Yaqui people.
BUY YOUR BADGE FOR RINCON 2025
Ticket sales are now open! Early bird pricing for badges is available until August 25th – after that, the price goes up to the same cost as for onsite purchase. The casino will have full meals on offer right in the conference center, and we’ve got deeply discounted tickets on sale (until supplies run out). Your savings will be ~30% off the cash prices w/tax that the casino will charge onsite, and you won’t have to walk all the way to the various food venues in the casino area. Each ticket will be good throughout the weekend for one meal or beverage of the designated type on any day it’s available (no breakfast on Friday, no dinner on Sunday). There may be a limited number of concessions tickets available at the RinCon registration desk during the convention as well, but wouldn’t you rather not have to worry about anything once you get to RinCon?
UPCOMING EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our final Family Game Day Fundraiser before the convention is at Casino Del Sol on August 23rd. It will feature premium TTRPGs with a professional GM as well as a re-run of last year’s murder mystery LARP – all proceeds go towards special programming and guests. And don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter to get all the latest news. You can see the most recent newsletter here.
VOLUNTEER BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER THE CONVENTION
For every four hours of volunteering, you’ll get one day of your badge free, whether you help out before, during, or after the convention. You can also accrue hours for a badge for a friend or family member, so the sky’s the limit! RinCon is a 100% volunteer-run event; we truly appreciate how the community comes together to make it all happen! Sign up for volunteer slots in the following areas:
Registration desk or Games HQ at RinCon:Â Check people in, sell badges, help attendees find their games
Games Library/Play-to-Win Area at RinCon:Â Help attendees sign out board games and enter the drawings
RinCon Rover (general roving helper) at RinCon: General logistics help throughout the event
Shifts before and after RinCon: We need all kinds of help with all kinds of things – check out the list of tasks and shifts
8/23/25 Family Game Day Fundraiser: Help with set-up, tear-down, and registration desk. This is a great way to get familiar with duties you might do at RinCon.
SIGN UP TO RUN GAMES AT RINCON
After some behind-the-scenes coding magic to make the system easier to use (thanks John and Tony!!), the GM submission site is open! We’ve found that the Firefox browser doesn’t always play nicely, so to ensure the best performance, please use Chrome, Safari, or Edge. For every 4 hours of programming you provide, you’ll get one day of your RinCon badge free. Got a board game you want to get to the table? The best way to be sure you get to play it is to check the box “GM will be playing in game,” which reserves a seat for you. And remember, if your game fits with this year’s theme of CITIES, you’ll get a RinCoin when it’s run.
MAKE A HOTEL RESERVATION
Here are the instructions provided to us by the casino hotel. MAKE YOUR RESERVATION EARLY!! There’s a Kevin Hart comedy show at Ava Amphitheater that weekend, and they’re likely to be in a full sell-out situation earlier than usual. This means that we’ll only be able to add rooms to our block IF WE SELL OUT EARLY – so go ahead and make that happen!
