As the Exhibit Hall closes at 7:00 on Friday and Saturday, all remaining gaming will move over to the California Ballroom CD on the second level of the Hilton Anaheim, our headquarters hotel, next door to the Anaheim Convention Center.

About 98 percent of games remain free to learn and play for all WonderCon attendees; only some of the Sanctioned Tournaments will have a materials fee. Every participant will receive prize support, and every winner will receive even more, while supplies last. Pick up game-play entries or bring your own products. Players who bring their own sealed decks or boxes may have them inspected by one of the sanctioned judges.

The Dungeons & Dragons Adventurers League will have its own DCI judges. IGA: Indie Game Alliance will run Boss Monster 2 and Overboss tournaments.
