The 2026 Arizona State boop. Championship

LIMITED

Saturday October 3, 2026 9:00am - 12:00pm MST

BG45 (Tourney)

Limited Capacity seats available

A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players. Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes “boop.” Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten on the board one space away. Line up three kittens in a row to graduate them into cats… and then, get three cats in a row to win. The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, plus a seat at the final round of the West Coast Regional Championship at RAGECON 2027 (as well as a free badge to RAGECON 2027)!

RinCon Board Game Pentathlon

BG45 (Tourney)

Limited Capacity seats available

In the Olympics, the modern pentathlon tests an athlete's skill in five different events. In this event, gamers will be tested in five different board games that each use a different primary mechanic. Who will emerge as the RinCon board game champion?

Each participant will play these games:
-Akropolis (tile placement)
-Mountain Goats (king of the hill)
-Canal Houses (set collection)
-Canvas (ordering/drafting)
-Trailblazers (route construction)

All games will be taught, but prior familiarity will benefit players. Players will have different sets of opponents for each game, and the winner will be determined from the outcome across all five games. All participants will receive a participation prize, and there will be a special prize for those who finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places overall.
