Betrayal Legacy Campaign

Betrayal Legacy marries the concept of Betrayal at House on the Hill — exploring a haunted mansion — with the permanency and multi-game storytelling exhibited by Daviau’s Risk Legacy and other legacy games that followed. Betrayal Legacy consists of a prologue and a thirteen-chapter story that takes place over decades. Players represent families, with specific members of a family participating in one story, then perhaps an older version of those characters (assuming they lived) or their descendants showing up in later stories.

Why would people keep exploring a haunted mansion for decade after decade, especially when horrible things happen there? Curiosity, I suppose, or perhaps an ignorant boldness that comes from the belief that we know better than those who have come before. Look at all that we’ve learned, marvel at the tools we have at hand! Surely we’ll all exit safely this time…

We will be running all 13 sessions of the Legacy campaign. You don’t have to commit to the entire campaign, but the more you participate, the more influence you have will have on shaping the game.

For each session you participate in, you will receive a ticket. At the end of the campaign we will have a drawing and the winner gets to take home the copy of the game.

Ticket to Ride 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 first ever tournament will be Ticket to Ride, an eminently accessible and classic game about traveling across the USA during the golden age of trains.  

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 will open up additional heats on Thursday or Friday 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.

Signups for the tournament will open when we open the general game signup in early September.  Want to be notified when we open signups so you can grab your spot?  Sign up for our mailing list and you’ll be the first to know.

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

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. Each spot will be half of a table to display their games. You can fit a lot of games in that space!

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.

Auction

New for 2024! 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! Buy an auction slip to reserve a spot in the auction to sell your game, or buy some auction credit at a discount to get even more of a deal. This is one of our favorite events at other conventions, we’re looking forward to bringing it here to New Mexico.

For sellers: Auction Slips are $1 and there’s a 6% fee on the final sale price, but you’ll only pay that 6% if your item sells. Reserves allowed with 2% fee of the reserve price if the game doesn’t sell. Multiple games can be combined into a single auction. Minimum bid is $5.

Auction slips available before the convention exclusively with a VIP package accompanying your ticket purchase. Slips will be sold in-person at the Convention at the registration desk. Limit two slips per seller, more may be available as demand allows.
