Space in tournaments is limited by the number of sets we have. Please register early to avoid disappointment, and if you can lend us a Puerto Rico or Settlers set for the tournament then we would be very grateful!

Thanks to all attendees who supported previous years' OxCons. We're always pleased to hear comments on the way the convention is growing and changing.

All prices are half price for full-time students and unwaged people.

The convention is organised by Oxford University Board Games Society; there may be some changes to the details outlined here but we don't expect that to be the case. The Society meets every week in Oxford and welcomes both students and non-students as members.
