MidCon
XXXI
13th – 15th November, 2009
Thistle Birmingham City Hotel, UK
Please
note, the deadline for bookings has now passed. If you wish to attend the
convention and have not already booked, just turn up and pay on the door.
Furthermore, you cannot now reserve rooms via the convention organisors; you can
try ringing up the hotel directly but I think they have run out of rooms, so you
will have to try one of the hotels or B&Bs nearby.
MidCon XXXI takes place in a
comfortable hotel in the centre of Birmingham from Friday afternoon (1pm) to
Sunday evening (6pm).
The convention features:
-
the opportunity to
play board games with like-minded adults, including all the hot games
from this year's Essen games fair
-
the MidCon music and general knowledge quiz for
teams of four on Saturday evening
-
the chance to buy
even more board games
-
the chance to sell your surplus games on the Bring & Buy stall on
the Saturday afternoon
MidCon is primarily about playing games and meeting people.
You can play any of the number of games people bring along
with them, including the hot new games from the Spiel
games fair in Essen, which takes place a month before MidCon.
Popular games include 18XX, Puerto Rico and Power Grid, but
you are welcome to bring along your own favourite games –
you will almost certainly find some people willing to play at
least one of them. Costs

MidCon costs £15 for the whole weekend (day rates are £8 / £10 / £8 for Fri /Sat / Sun)
