Splotter Con 2026
Splotter Con is a welcoming, player-focused board gaming convention in Pittsburgh dedicated to celebrating every game from Dutch publisher Splotter Spellen – from beloved classics like Food Chain Magnate and Indonesia to rare, hard-to-find titles such as Chameleo Chameleo and Spöl – all in one place, with multiple copies available to play, learn, and compete over in a friendly community atmosphere. It brings together fans, collectors, and designers (including special guest, designer Jeroen Doumen), features fun contests and our signature Devil’s Egg tournament, and offers social gaming experiences, an inclusive atmosphere, and unique swag – all set in a single convenient venue for a relaxed yet deeply satisfying weekend of gaming.

Documentary & Photography
- We will once again have Anna Brewer and her documentary crew filming throughout the weekend, and we’re also hoping that our friend and photographer-extraordinaire, Larry Rippel, will be joining us. During registration, you’ll be asked to check a box indicating whether or not you consent to being photographed or filmed. Attendees who do not consent will be required to wear a red wristband (or possibly a red lanyard) so our media team can ensure no photos or footage of you are shared publicly.
