PeliCON

First off PeliCON wants to thank all of the amazing Table Top Players in the greater Gulf Coast area for trusting us and coming to PeliCON 2026!!! We had people from Oklahoma, Louisiana, and all over Texas.

With your help we were able to raise $3440.00 in raffle prize money and donations for the Galveston County Food Bank.

Our main mission other than to learn awesome new games is to give back to the community and to have an event where every dollar you spend you feel you are getting value for. We will be posting pictures from the whole weekend soon and we are looking at doing some single day events in the future to really key in on some aspects of Table Top Gaming that we feel we can do better on.

Most importantly we want to thank our main Sponsors The Shock Doc Electrical Services Company , Hometown Bank , and Weird Giraffe Games . Without our sponsors we wouldn't have been able to do this.

The Twilight Imperium Store Champions Tournament begins Saturday at 10AM at PeliCON 2026.

The best TI4 players from across the area will battle for the championship trophy and ultimate bragging rights. Expect alliances, betrayals, politics, war, and the kind of galaxy-shaping moments only Twilight Imperium can deliver.

There may be an open player slot available. If you know how to play TI4 and want a chance to jump into the tournament, stop by and check with the PeliCON Krewe before the game begins to see if you qualify for entry.

One player will claim the throne and take home the trophy.

One of the coolest things happening at PeliCON this weekend is our Play-to-Win game library.

All weekend long, attendees can sign up for scheduled games, learn something new, sit down with other players.

We’ll have titles like:

Brass: Birmingham ( #1 on BGG)
Galactic Cruise
Rebirth
Habitats
Point Galaxy
Cascadia: Rolling Hills

It’s one of the best parts of tabletop gaming: trying games you may have never played before, meeting new people at the table, and possibly leaving with a new favorite game in your hands.

To find Play-to-Win events, just search “Play to Win” in the event schedule. Also there are play to win sign ups at Game Library for play 2 wins not scheduled.
