ConnCon continues to promote gaming as a great hobby for all ages! This year we introduce our Teen and 'Tween Zone in the board game room. As always, families are welcome in all our gaming areas! But this will be a special zone specifically for gamers from the ages of 10 to 16 to meet and try out a variety of board games and activities with people their own age. Come down and pick out a game from our library on your own, or check out any one of our scheduled games to learn with a teacher on hand!

Bohnanza Beans! Beans? Yes, Beans! More beans than you could possibly plant in your fields. Bohnanza is a card game from German designer Uwe Rosenberg where players plant beans in their fields and watch them grow. The problem is you'll likely to be forced to uproot your beans and plant new ones before the old ones can be sold! To succeed at Bohnanza you'll need to be a shrewd and clever trader to get your maximum beans to market!

Pitch Car. PitchCar is a dexterity game where large wooden puzzle-like pieces are used to construct a race track that looks very similar to a slot car track when finished. But instead of using electrons, up to 8 players use finger-flicks to send little round pucks around the track.
The first two Extensions as well as the Special Long Straights will be included for more turns, faster tracks and jumps!

Snow Tails Snow Tails is set in the snowy world of the Arctic Circle, where brave sledders compete in a test of skill and endurance. Action is fast and furious and not all sleds may make it to the finish. Huskies only have one setting and that is full speed! Hang on to your furs, the reins, your sled and anything else you can get hold of!

Tales of the Arabian Nights. In Tales of the Arabian Nights, you are the hero or heroine in a story of adventure and wonder just like those told by Scheherazade to her spellbound sultan! You will travel the land seeking your own destiny and fortune. You will learn stories and gain wisdom to share with others. Will you be the first to fulfill your destiny? The next Tale is yours to tell! There is, of course, a winner in Tales of the Arabian Nights, but the point of the game is less to see who wins and more to enjoy the unfolding and telling of a great story!
Choose your actions carefully and the skills you possess will reward you: become beloved, wealthy, mighty - even become sultan of a great land. Choose foolishly, however, and become a beggar, or be cursed with a beast's form or become insane from terror!

Zooloretto Each player uses small, large, wild, and exotic animals and their young to try to attract as many visitors as possible to their zoo. But be careful - the zoo must be carefully planned. Before you know it, you have too many animals and no more room for them. That brings minus points! Luckily, your zoo can expand. A zoo of a family game in which less is sometimes more...
