2025 Special Events and Swag

Dominion Tournament

Get your name on the official MañanaCon trophy and win a game!

We’re hosting an official MañanaCon tournament this year, and we want you to play!  Our second ever tournament will be Dominion, the eminently accessible and classic deck-building game..  

The tournament will proceed with opening heats early in the weekend.  Our opening heats will be:

  • Friday at 7:00 pm
  • Saturday at 10:00 am
  • Saturday at 2:00 pm

We may open up to one additional opening heat on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday as demand requires.  Each player may only play in one opening heat.  The winner of each opening heat will get the chance to compete in the Final on Sunday at 11:00. Each opening heat must have a minimum of two players for the winner to be eligible.

The winner of the final will get a free game and will have their name engraved on the official MañanaCon trophy!  This trophy immortalizes winners of our tournaments year after year after year.  This will be the only chance to get your name on the trophy for this year, so make your plans to play today!

GM: John Spence

Flea Market

Want to sell your old games and get cash? Looking for a deal on something new-to-you? Check out the Flea Market!

MañanaCon has first-come, first serve spots for attendees to display their games at the con.

Sellers post prices for their games (either print out a sheet and keep it with the games, or put some post-its on your games). When somebody wants to buy the game, they can find the seller at the con, give them their cash, and take the game. Easy!

Caveats: these are used games and we can’t vouch for condition or completeness! Ask the seller for info. Sellers, make sure you keep an eye on your games at the convention. It’s a high-traffic area in the main room of the convention with access only to con attendees, but we won’t have anybody posted to watch the games or take payment for you. We’ll lock up the room when we leave every night.

Live Auction

Want to get rid of that game that’s collecting dust in your closet? Want to score some great deals on used games? Come to the auction Sunday afternoon! This is one of our favorite events at conventions, and after a successful debut last year, we’re looking forward to making it bigger and better for this year.

For sellers: Bring your game to the front desk and fill out an auction slip to reserve a spot in the auction to sell your game. New this year: there’s no longer a fee to purchase an auction slip!

  • All game sales are subject to 10% selling fee to support the convention.
  • Reserves allowed, but in order to discourage games that don’t sell, a 3% fee of the reserve price will be charged if the game doesn’t sell.
  • There’s no fee for games without a reserve that don’t sell.
  • Multiple games can be combined into a single lot for auction.
  • Minimum bid is $5.
  • Auction slips will be distributed in-person at the Convention at the registration desk. Limit two slips per seller, more may be available as demand allows.
