MaricopaCon is Arizona's first kickstarted gaming convention. It started at Jason's house and was held there the first two years. The 3rd year brought about the Kickstarter project and a public venue. This will be the 12th year at a public venue and it will be made possible by the kickstarter supporters and GMs. We specialize in small and cozy feel with a chill atmosphere. MaricopaCon brings together many of the local game designers who have had many successful kickstarted projects of their own! We are a 501c3 Non-Profit specializing in teaching games to all people.
