Gencon Heroscape events are up and ready to go!
As usual, we are keeping some events, tweaking others, and offering some new ones. If there's an event you'd love that isn't offered, consider organizing your own in one of the Custom Matches slots (previously called Open Play).

Prizes will be awarded as usual.

If an event sells out, it is possible we will take an equivalent amount of generic tickets for that event. (This is particularly true with the Flex Tourney and the Custom Matches.)

We hope to see you there! (Well, most of you...)

Here's a handy list of events by day and time:
