There will be a curated list of games on offer, that are a great way to introduce people. They span strategy, social deception, cooperative, party, etc. Here are a few to give you an idea of what to expect:
Dead of Winter - Where you fight off a herd of zombies.
Forbidden Desert - Try to survive and escape the desert after you and your friends crash land your plane.
Coup - You and your friends are part of a resistance group and will lie, steal, and deceive your way to overthrow the maligned government.
Ticket to Ride - Where you build a railroad network across Europe against your friends.

Yes! During the event, we have two tournaments - one on Pandemic, and the other on Star Realms. The winners will receive a copy of Pandemic and Machi Koro respectively, courtesy The Bored Yogi.

Newcomers, especially people who’ve only played games like Monopoly, Cluedo, Pictionary, etc. There is a massive world of creative, challenging, and incredibly fun board games out there that we in India don’t ever hear about. This is an opportunity for you to try some of them.
More than the games themselves, the social experience is what's excellent. It is the number one reason we people play board games regularly. You find out new things about your own friends (like how they are incredibly good liars when they need to be) and you get to meet new people. It makes for memorable moments that you’ll be talking about long after it’s over.
Most importantly, you’ll definitely leave with more friends than when you walked in. You don't need to know any of the rules or have played games like this before. Everything will be set up, rules will be explained, and all your questions answered.
