New games start at the top of every hour, or sign up early to meet up with fellow players. We have plenty of space for all your favorites with a friendly and knowledgeable game staff to help you get your game on! WonderCon Games will be in Exhibit Hall C by day and the Anaheim Hilton California Ballroom CD at night.

Nighttime Games Attendees will be able to participate in more game demos than ever! 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 Anaheim Hilton, our headquarters hotel, next door to the Anaheim Convention Center.
About 98 percent of games remain free to learn & 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 gameplay 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 judges at Cardboardia will be running the Sanctioned Sealed Deck Magic, Lorcana, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! events. HeroClix will have its own judges from Majestix. The Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer’s League will have its own DCI judges. The Munchkin tournaments will have judges from Steve Jackson Games.
