Time is running out!
The deadline to submit your favorite game for RinCon 2026 is THIS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th!
For every 4 hours of programming you present, you get one day of your badge for free – click here to submit your games. (The submissions site will still be open until 9/24, but the discount ends on 9/7). These benefits can also stack with volunteer hours, either before, during, or after the convention – click here to see what volunteer opportunities are still available. It takes a community to build a convention, so get involved and help make RinCon 2026 LEGENDARY! (Important: if you do run games or volunteer, hold off on buying your badge until we send you your discount code!)
Once we’ve had a chance to process all the games submissions, we’ll get everything up on our schedule link by the end of next week. Keep an eye on our socials and Discord, and we’ll send an announcement here as well. Sign-ups will open Sunday, 9/20 at 2:00 PM, so set yourself an alarm!
In other news…
The Flea Market is always a popular spot at RinCon to pick up a “new” game at a great price, and this year we’re doing something different: The RinCon Shelf of Shame Shop! Instead of our traditional flea market in a separate room at a single time, we will have an ongoing booth within the vendor hall where participants can sell used games that just aren’t getting the table time they’d hoped for, each during a designated time. For buyers, this means fresh new deals to check back and shop for throughout the day! For sellers, you’ll have more exclusive access to buyers during your shift, and more visibility from the folks already shopping in the vendor hall.
If you’re interested in selling your used games or gaming paraphernalia and accoutrements, click here to reserve a time slot for this booth, just like reserving a flea market table in prior years. Each time slot will be approximately 2 hours. Each seller will be responsible for setting up their items at the start of their designated time, handling their own sales and transactions, and clearing out before their shift ends. Check out the Zeffy listing for details and available times.
And if you’re interested in participating in the RinCon BGG Math Trade, you can find the details here.
We’ll be at Tucson Comic-Con in the gaming hall, running GIANT games and Artemis missions all weekend long – stop by and say hello! And we hope to see you all in one more month at…
Where the gaming is LEGENDARY!
