Like last year, WashingCon will have a full gaming library with hundreds of games that attendees can check out and play for free in the open gaming hall. Volunteers will be on hand to help teach games to people who want to learn a particular game. The gaming library will be open on Saturday from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm and on Sunday from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm.
In addition to the full-range of games, our library will feature a "play-to-win" section. As with other games, WashingCon attendees can check out and play these games. At 4pm on Sunday, we will randomly select one person who has played the game during the convention and award it to them to keep. You can take any games that you won at that point. If you are not present to claim the games you won at 4pm on Sunday, we will send you an email after the convention and you can pickup the games you won at Labyrinth Games & Puzzles within 1 week. Our list of games in this section will include a wide range of titles from publishers such as:
