We know that coming to a new to you convention, or even coming to a convention solo can be a bit overwhelming. We would love to help make it more approachable for all. Currently, we have the Players Wanted and Teachers Wanted signs, which have been great but we would like to do a bit more. Going to tables with Players Wanted signs can be difficult for those of us who are more introverted.

Both Stumptown and Granite Game Summits happened early in 2020 and they were luckily one of the last good memories before a long period of uncertainty. When we decided to bring back Granite Game Summit in 2022, we were still uncertain if we would be able to pull it off. We wanted to make sure our event was as safe and happy as it possibly could be. So we charged ahead with what made our event great at its core.

Wow! We were not anticipating the badges selling out so quickly. Thank you to our community for showing us such excitement for the return of Granite Game Summit.

We know how people love to have badges whether it is to collect or just use on social media. You can download your badges here in vertical or horizontal. You can download yours below!

There is no way to fully simulate the beauty of our live events where you can wander the halls, bump into friends and just grab one of the thousands of available games to play.

What if you could have an amazing experience at a convention and know that they are taking steps to do what they can to have as minimal an impact on the environment? At Granite Game Summit we are striving to continuously improve and do just that.

Are you thinking of starting your own convention? That is amazing! From my experience, it is a fun and stressful labor of love that becomes more rewarding with each passing event. While I am always learning and growing, I can share what we have learned so far. Hopefully, this series of articles can help you create something people will be excited about! This post talks about the art of handling play-to-wins.

In New England, Unity Games all-day event was a pillar in our local gaming community for many years and heavily influenced our desire to create Granite Game Summit. It has been 5 years since the last Unity Games, and we were elated that one of the former Unity organizers reached out to us about forging a partnership to create something new and something old.

Local GeekDad writer Jonathan Liu is teaming up with Stumptown Game Summit and sharing part of his extensive board game collection with us. With over 1200+ games available in his personal library, Jonathan’s generosity is sure to give SGS attendees a lot of options to play.

We here at G2S are a small group. There is only three of us who plan and organize our event so that hundreds of people can come together to game and have a good time. When it comes to the weekend of the event, we need a few more helping hands to assist in providing a smooth, meaningful experience for all. We need your help to make that happen.

Our change in venue this year has allowed us a new opportunity for those who will be staying on site. A private floor just of the hotel just for Granite Game Summit attendees. For just $280 (tax included) you can have a room on the exclusive Executive Level for both Friday & Saturday night during our event.

There are an abundance of food options nearby from grocery stores and fast food to fine dining and delivery. Hopefully this handy guide helps you!

Do you enjoy Granite Game Summit? Do you want to earn free raffle tickets for a chance to win GloomHaven, Lisboa and more? How about a shot to win a free 3 day pass for G2S19? 

We, the G2S staff, would like to thank all of you for helping us continue to grow and thrive. Our single day events, and our very first multi-day events have all been quite successful and we couldn’t have done it without you. It has been a really great first year and a half, we are unbelievably grateful for the opportunity to help build the community. 

You can now buy single day badges for Friday, Saturday or Sunday! Single day tickets still give you the opportunity to our usual open tabletop gaming, they also will also give you the chance to enjoy some of our new events.

Since the beginning, we have always seen G2S as a multi-day event up to which we were building.
