Avast thar me hearties!
There’s a new Board Game Con in Arkansas!
Date: Friday and Saturday December 19-20, 2025
7 am Friday until midnight Sunday
Place: Marion County Fairgrounds
513 E Seawell Ave, Summit, Arkansas 72677
Open gaming all day Friday and Saturday. Lots of table space is available, so bring the big box! No take-down needed once the convention starts.
We will have an auction to lighten the cargo in case of rough seas and a treasure hunt with lots of swag for the winning crew.
The galley will serve slumgullion and hardtack. Bring provisions for the pirate potluck.
No rum or ale at this family friendly venue, and smoking is permitted on the aft deck only.
Light thematic cosplay encouraged, so look like the inner pirate you know yourself to be…but please don’t smell like it. Authenticity and deodorant are great shipmates.
Hotels available in Yellville (2 miles away) and Harrison (half an hour north.) Restaurants and grocery store nearby. Campgrounds and RV parks in area.
Cutthroats, crewmen and wenches are welcome aboard.
Cabin boys and scullery maids under twelve must be accompanied by a quartermaster (guardian.) Unaccompanied minors will be conscripted to swab decks and peel onions.
Cost: 20 American doubloons for a single day, or 30 doubloons for the entire voyage.
