Google map directions to location of 10 hour gaming day in downtown West Palm Beach!
Between that pink building and the two white Trump Plaza towers.
If you see this church below while on Flagler Blvd, you are in the right place! (Yes, our event is at a church, but FlaMinGoCon is a secular event and everyone is welcome. This church is just nice enough to rent us a nice sized hall with plenty of parking.)
Following GPS to the address, 211 Trinity Place, will get you on the SOUTH side of the church. The entrance you are looking for is on the NORTH side of the church -- facing a small street called Tanglewood. If you don't see a big parking lot with a big tree... keep going around the church.
In the back is the entrance to the parish hall. Look for the red awning behind this tree.
FlaMinGoCon the First on January 24 will feature a Roborally tournament and a Splendor Tournament. Demos of both games will be offered earlier in day. Prizes are adorable plastic flamingos. No, you can't pay your rent with pink rubber duckies, but your bathroom will be much cuter!

Board games have certainly improved our lives around here. Fun, friends and occasionally a life lesson.
And here at FlaMinGoCon, we hope to improve your community relations in West Palm Beach on January 24!

One fun thing about game conventions is getting to play more obscure games you can't find at the book store or national toy store chain. We have game creators trying out new games and avid game owners wanting to find new players to try out their favorite little-known game.
FlaMinGoCon is small, but you can still have some of this experience on January 24. Three more games you will be seeing are Microvore, Super Dungeon Explore and Conjure, along with folks who will teach you how to play!
A little like Chez Geek, a little bit offensive -- okay, a lot offensive -- and a lot of redneck stereotype.
But what's not to like about a game with dozens of little plastic pink flamingos!? And the photos of the different classy trailers are a hoot as well. More fun with more players, and it takes up a lot of room!
Sure to be available for play at FlaMinGoCon The First.
