Letchworth Garden City’s board game convention is back!
All day, all games, all welcome — tickets on sale soon
FBG Con is a friendly, welcoming community event for board game lovers of all experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or wanting to try modern board games out for the first time — you’re in the right place.
What’s On
A full day packed with games, people, and good food. Here’s what to look forward to.
Open Gaming
Dozens of large gaming tables ready to use all day. Bring your own games or dive into something from our games library — just sit down and play.
Social Deduction
Four thrilling sessions of the hit social deduction game Blood On The Clocktower will be running throughout the day. Sign up in advance via our Discord to secure your spot.
Bring ‘n’ Buy
Clear out your collection or bag a bargain! Bring along games you no longer play and sell them to fellow attendees. Feel free to advertise on Discord beforehand.
Games Library
Not sure what to play? Browse our shelves of games — all free to borrow and use on the day. Something for every group size and taste.
On-Site Food
No need to leave - our food van serves up burgers, rolls, teas, coffees, and soft drinks throughout the day to keep you fuelled for gaming.
Want more options? Letchworth town centre is a short stroll away and has plenty of options too.
Family Friendly
FBG Con is open and welcoming to everyone, and under-12s are free!
Whether you’re bringing the whole family or coming solo, you’ll find a friendly face and a seat at the table. We just ask that under-18s are joined by a responsible adult.
Blood on the Clocktower
Blood on the Clocktower is an award-winning social deduction game of lies, bluffing, and deduction. One player is secretly the Demon — and everyone else is trying to figure out who before it’s too late.
Unlike many similar games, even eliminated players stay involved — making it an incredible experience from start to finish.
