Welcome to Polar Vortex Game Convention!

Polar Vortex Gaming Convention grew out of many discussions over the years about creating a general gaming convention in the Chicago region with the potential to share a wide variety of tabletop gaming, promote this enjoyable hobby to the larger community, support local games retailers, support publishers, and benefit the general community. These discussions involved gamers, retailers, vendors, publishers, charities, and convention organizers. The result is the variety of gaming opportunities presented for you to enjoy.

The positive responses from each Polar Vortex Game Convention blow us away. Most attendees express how much fun they had, how many different games they could play, and how relaxed the convention felt. We plan more gaming opportunities for each year, and have worked hard to make improvements and ever strive to provide the best experience our attendees can discover.

On behalf of our convention partners, volunteers, con staff, supporting and participating retailers we wish you a thoroughly enjoyable weekend of gaming fun and camaraderie.

Relax, have a great time, and may your dice rolls & card draws be ever in your favor!

Convention Coordinator
