PASCO, WA - The Tri-Cities annual gaming convention, known as "Games-fest," will take place over the Labor Day weekend. This highly anticipated event has become a staple in the local gaming community, drawing enthusiasts from all around the region to partake in a weekend filled with camaraderie, competition, and of course, a vast array of tabletop games. From the strategic battles of Magic the Gathering to the immersive storytelling of Dungeons and Dragons, attendees can expect a diverse selection of gaming experiences that cater to a wide range of interests.
While video games may not be on the agenda, the focus on tabletop games allows for a more intimate and interactive gaming environment where players can engage face-to-face, fostering a sense of community and shared passion for the hobby. The exclusivity of tabletop games at Games-fest adds a unique charm to the convention, attracting both seasoned veterans and newcomers alike.
Organizers of Games-fest are not only dedicated to providing a platform for gaming enthusiasts to come together but also have a noble cause at heart. Bill Stevenson, the President of GamesFest, shared that the event's mission extends beyond mere entertainment. "Our aim is to generate profits to purchase gaming supplies for school games clubs," Stevenson stated. This philanthropic initiative aims to support local school clubs by ensuring that they have the necessary resources to foster a love for gaming among students.
One poignant example shared by Stevenson highlights the impact of such support, mentioning a club in Richland where essential gaming supplies were lacking. With a commitment to supplying necessities like dice and gamebooks, Games-fest is not only enriching the convention experience but also making a tangible difference in the lives of young gamers.
In addition to the diverse gaming offerings, the event will also feature vendors showcasing a wide range of gaming products and memorabilia. Attendees can look forward to exploring unique items, expanding their collections, and engaging with like-minded individuals who share their passion for tabletop gaming. Furthermore, the auctions for vintage tabletop games add an exciting element to the convention, offering attendees the opportunity to acquire rare and sought-after pieces to add to their gaming repertoire.
