Play-to-Win is coming to PeliCON!

Do you like free games? Check out a game from the Play-to-Win section of the library and you could have a chance to win it!

Participation

To participate in Play-to-Win you must have a valid PeliCON badge. To be entered, a badge holder will check-out a game from the Play-to-Win library and upon check-in provide their name, badge number and phone number on the entry card for the game that was played. Every badge holder that played may fill out an entry for the game. Attendees are limited to one entry per check-out but are able to check-out the same game multiple times throughout the convention (although this will not increase your chances at winning). It's that simple!

Results

Winners will be randomly chosen from all entries per game on Sunday. Game drawings will be ordered based on game value and/or hotness from highest to lowest, as determined by PeliCON organizers. Participants are limited to winning one game per badge.
