Buy-In-Games

KantCon promises to have all kinds of games to keep you plotting against your fellow players or other forces promising your ultimate demise. If you’re looking for a little something extra though, consider some of our Buy-In-Games. You might have seen some of these events on the badges page or in Warhorn, and wondered what they are. These are games that have something a little special or unique about them: they may require extra effort by the game master or prizes may be awarded to the players.  At the very least, each buy-in game you participate in gets you 5 tickets to win more prizes.  Buy-In-Games cost an additional $10 per game.

A description of the Buy-In Games follows the large stylish purchasing links below.

Terraria the Board Game

​

You've spent days mining through caverns, battling slimes, and scrounging for ore. Your base is partially built, your gear is ready, and now something massive is watching you from the darkness above. Its pupil dilates. It is time.


In Terraria the Board Game, players work together to explore a pixelated world full of dangerous creatures, valuable resources, and powerful loot. In this scenario, Paper Fort Games has set the stage for you — your party is geared up, the world is partially explored, and one terrifying boss stands between you and glory: the Eye of Cthulhu.

​

This session will cover the early to mid-game experience, giving you a taste of everything Terraria has to offer — combat, crafting, and cooperative chaos.

​

Extra raffle tickets will be awarded to players.

3d Betrayal at House on the Hill

​

You are out for a lovely drive in the rolling hills of the countryside when your car breaks down. Hmmm, no cell service. Good thing there's a giant House on the Hill. Let's go check it out. What's the worst that could happen?

​

In Betrayal at House on the Hill, players explore a 3d printed haunted mansion of their own design, encountering spirits and frightening omens that foretell their fate. Eventually, one of the characters betrays the rest of the party, and the innocent members of the party must defeat the traitor in their midst before it’s too late!

 

This game will largely use 1st edition rules with minor adjustments and a pre-planned haunt. 3d printed prizes will be available and extra raffle tickets will be awarded to players.

​Grimcoven

Grimcoven is a miniature boss battler game set in a dark Victorian universe where only the hunt matters. You must work together and take full advantage of the arena and its resources to achieve your goal.

​

To play, you take on the role of a hunter fueled by lament who has signed a pact with a coven of other hunters to venture on one of many modular boss battles. Every character has a distinct development tree you can use to advance. Build and execute your unique combo, such as teleporting into any space on the map, gathering lament, gaining extra dice, and firing up a devastating attack on the boss. Sometimes a special electricity die will help you power up your armor, while at other times, you will forge magical bullets to be fired at the right moment.

​

During combat, strategically use dice allocation to move around the board, fire up different combos, and gather lament to grow in strength. Build your character in roguelike fashion and try to claim the ultimate prize. Collect too much lament, however, and you may turn into one of the beasts you were sent to hunt becoming a danger to yourself or fellow hunters. 

​

Note: No traitor mechanics, though some game effects may cause you to damage others.

Extra raffle tickets will be awarded to players.
