Over the past few years, gaming at Comic-Con has grown by leaps and bounds. Currently, gaming occupies a good deal of the mezzanine level of the San Diego Convention Center and has established a not-so-far-off outpost at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, where you can play until the wee hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

The Comic-Con 2006 gaming schedule will once again include live-action demos, premieres of new games and products, and, most important, company-sponsored tournaments featuring prizes including cash and merchandising.

Comic-Con also offers gaming in a relaxed atmosphere (so relaxed that many visitors spend their entire day in the gaming rooms!), where both the newbie and the old hand can learn new games as they play. Many companies offer live demos on the Exhibit Hall floor, and some include playing areas in their booths where you can get both beginning training and advanced tips on how to play various games.

This represents the Comic-Con International 2006 Programming Schedule as of this moment. Please note that this schedule is subject to change. Panelists scheduled to appear at each event are also subject to change. Please check the schedule signs outside each door for updated information.

Seating in all event rooms at Comic-Con is on a first-come, first-served basis. Because of the sheer number of attendees, simply having a badge does not guarantee a seat in programs and events, nor an autograph from a specific celebrity.
