Capital City Gaming Con is the Des Moines area board gaming convention. It is a weekend full of fun and games held annually.

We believe in bringing people together (no matter their affiliations) through board games. The more people we can bring into the hobby, the more vibrant our local gaming scene will become.

We strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere for you to sit down with friends, new or old, to play some great games!

Capital City Gaming Con is organized and planned by a group of gamers from the Des Moines, Iowa metro area. While each of us have regular day jobs, we are also working hard to make this convention a success because we are passionate about growing the tabletop gaming hobby in our community.

Who are we? Take a look below to get a quick introduction to our team, and if you see any of these faces at the convention or around town be sure to say hi!
