DragonCon started in 2007 with a mere 40 attendees; last year it had around 280! It’s come far from its humble beginnings, and it has plenty of events for you to enjoy! Roleplaying games, card games, board games, LARP, and miniatures, plus a showcasing of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. They’ve also got this cool thing going known as “The Board Game Libaray”; a place filled with all sorts of board games that you can borrow and play! A small sampling of these games includes: The Settlers of Catan, Netrunner, Monty Python Fluxx, Illuminati, and various Munchkin games.

It’s not quite clear if entrance to the convention itself is free or not (I haven’t received a reply yet from the organizers at this time of writing). Certainly all the events themselves require money. The prices are as follows:

Full Day Ticket – 60 NIS. This will net you free reign to join all of the convention’s activities.
Single Activity Ticket – 40 NIS. This will allow you to participate in a single activity
Library Ticket – 20 NIS. This allows you to enter the Board Game Library, and participate in the convention’s lectures.
Note: All tickets allow you to enter the Board Game Library and play the games therein. You must have a ticket in order to enter it.

If you are aware of any convention taking place here in Israel, please notify me, and I will do my best to report on it!
