If you are a part of the Metro Atlanta board game community, chances are you already know KennyCon by its well-earned reputation as “Georgia’s Friendliest Board Game Convention.” This coming winter, they will be hosting their massive annual flagship event in West Cobb County (Marietta, GA).

The KennyCon crew is dropping an incredible lineup of local tabletop gaming events starting late this summer.
First Stop: Mini-KennyCon Kicks Off the Fun in September!
Before they even hit the LUG Con exhibition floor, you can get a direct taste of this amazing community at Mini-KennyCon this September!

It’s casual, incredibly welcoming, and the ultimate way to meet new local players, clear off your shelf-backlog, and dive into a full day of open gaming without taking up your whole weekend.
Why Everyone Loves the Full KennyCon Experience
Whether you meet them at Mini-KennyCon in September or check out their showcase at LUG Con in October, you’ll quickly see why their flagship two-day tabletop gaming event every January is a must-attend tradition.
When you join their community in West Cobb, your badge gets you access to an absolute gamer’s paradise:
- A Massive 400+ Game Library: From deep strategic euro games and classic tabletop favorites to the newest hot releases, their library has something for every player.
- Play-to-Win Tournaments & Door Prizes: Play featured board games for a chance to win copies to take home to your own shelf!

- Free Pizza & Great Perks: They keep you fueled with free pizza on Friday night, snacks, drinks, and entirely free parking all weekend long.
It’s more than just a convention; it’s a tight-knit community where you can always find a friendly face willing to sit down and teach you a brand-new game.
