Garage SaleIt's not a Kanata Con without our ever popular garage sale. So if you're looking to thin your collection to make shelf space for new shiny games, bring your games in and we'll help them find new homes. Or perhaps there are games you always want to own, come by and peruse our sale for good deals and relinquished treasures.

Events
Ice Cool 8 Player Race
Race around the hallways of your highschool, collecting fish, all while cutting class!
In Ice Cool players take turns flicking their penguins around the the halls of the school, trying to get them through the doorways that contain fish of their colour.
In this race you want to be the first player to collect all of you fish and reach the goal.
The setup will handle up to 8 players at a time.
Terror Below Demo
Terror Below is a game of government experiments gone wild in the Nevada desert. The faster you move, the more vibrations you make, attracting the attention of the vicious worms underground. Navigate the difficult terrain to collect valuable worm eggs and deliver them to locations around town to claim bounties. If you're feeling lucky, collect items and weapons to go hunt 'em.
The goal of Terror Below is to be the first player to score 20 victory points (VP) by collecting worm eggs and delivering them to locations around town — or alternatively, by hunting down and killing those vicious worms.
During the game, your squad of unlikely heroes will visit locations around the small desert town to find bounties, scavenge for weapons, and try to survive as you distract the worms. Eventually, those worms will attack. If you are in their path of destruction, you better be prepared for a fight!
During this demo, come by and play a few turns to get the feel for this great new game from Renegade Game Studios!
Bosk Featured Game
From majestic Maples to ancestral Oaks, players nurture their trees aiming to thrive over the course of a year in a beautiful National Park.
In the spring, players carefully grow their trees, scoring as hikers enjoy traveling the trails in summer.
When autumn comes, leaves fall in the ever-changing direction of the wind, guided to cover the terrain and other players’ leaves. Points are awarded in winter for the most coverage of each region in the park.
All day Sunday Bosk will be the featured game from Meeples to Go. Come on out and give it a try. Someone from Meeples to Go will be on hand to help teach you, and maybe even fill an empty space at the table.
