There are a lot of things to do at the NOVA Open. The Board Game Room (BGR), which inaugurated in 2015 with the support and sponsorship of Atlantis Games & Comics, returns with a full schedule of games you can register for. The BGR is open to all registered NOVA Open attendees, and has a full library of games available for checkout throughout the convention.

The team is hard at work on the 2024 schedule. In the meantime there were some of last year’s offerings:

• Ticket to Ride Learn-ament

• Wingspan Learn-ament

• Azul Learn-ament

• Sneak Peak playtest of Nature

All events will have a game-master available to teach and answer any questions you might have. Register for scheduled game or stop by anytime to see what we have going on. You won't be disappointed.
