Play Car Wars And The Fantasy Trip At BGG.SPRING!

Board Game Geek Spring Convention 2025 Logo

BGG.SPRING, an annual event in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, will be held this year over Memorial Day weekend from May 22-26 at the Hyatt Regency DFW Airport. The spring verson of the long-running BGG.CON convention is geared toward families, with no minimum age requirement. There will be dedicated rooms for different age groups, including a special area for younger players called Gamers-in-Training.

In attendance will be Nathaniel, a friend of Steve Jackson Games, who will host two exciting (and free!) events.

Learn to Melee the Steve Jackson Way is an introductory session that will welcome both those who have never tried The Fantasy Trip: Melee and those who are long-time fans. You will learn how to create characters and fight using the Fantasy Trip Legacy Edition rules. This event will be held on Friday, May 23, at 7:00 pm in the Wetzel RPG room.

Autoduelling aficionados can sign up for DEATHRACE 2025, a Circus Maximus-style race to the finish line. While the event, held in the Vandergriff room, begins Sunday, May 25, at 7:00 pm, anyone new to Car Wars Sixth Edition can arrive at 6:00 pm for Nathaniel's Autoduel Academy and learn how to play!

I plan to be at the convention as well, and can say with absolute certainty that it will be tons of fun, with many options for events and a huge library of games.

Limited badges for BGG.SPRING and tickets for the Steve Jackson Games events remain, so act fast if you'd like to participate!
