SCG CON Returns!

“SCG CON is one of my favorite events.”

No tricks.

All treats.

After nearly a two year hiatus, SCG CON returns to Roanoke, Virginia on Halloween weekend… and we'd love to have you join us!

The fun begins on Thursday, October 28, when Star City Games hosts a pair of Last Chance Invitational Qualifiers, plus a special Commander Celebration Early Access event, at Downtown Roanoke's City Market Building. Make plans to join us for a relaxing day of good food, good friends and good fun to kick off an exciting SCG CON weekend!
