As far as I’m concerned, special events are the most fun experience at the convention.  As previously mentioned at CMON Expo, this year’s special events have been turned up to 11.  There are a few new ones here just for Gen Con, so sign up early before they get sold out.

Think you’ve got what it takes to win?  One of the great things about CMON tournaments is they have something for folks at most every level from beginner to expert, and there’s always a prize for the winner (if not everyone).
