"In our digital world, this retreat will be a welcome escape for families," said Jean Seiler, marketing director for Ruby's Inn. "While playing the games and exploring Bryce Canyon, families can interact and reconnect."

Taking place January 16-19 at the historic Ruby's Inn, the BryceCon Game Convention will mix tabletop favorites with the latest board game creations. The family fun continues outdoors with discounted winter activities, including free admission into Bryce Canyon National Park on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

"Winter is one of the most unique times to see Bryce Canyon," said Lance Syrett, general manager of Ruby's Inn. "BryceCon is a perfect fit for Ruby's Inn; we've always been about giving families memorable experiences."

As Utah's newest gaming convention, BryceCon comes on the heels of a worldwide board game renaissance. The popularity resurgence has led to the development of new, more strategic games and the rise of multi-day gaming conventions.

The game gathering will feature card games, narrative role-play games and various tournaments including sensations such as Ticket to Ride and Dominion. BryceCon will also provide an expansive library of over 150 games, allowing attendees to play their favorite classics or test out the newest tabletop arrivals.

"People love events like BryceCon because of the social aspect," said Gary Tanner, BryceCon's organizer. "We all enjoy laughing and strategizing around the game table."

Game vendors will be on site to display soon-to-be-released games and related merchandise for purchasing throughout the event. Organizers are also planning a game-centered flea market and prize raffle.

Located just outside the gates of Bryce Canyon National Park, Ruby's Inn provides the closest lodging to the park and a variety of onsite winter adventures, including snowshoeing, sleigh rides and ice-skating. Skate rentals and rink admission will be free of charge for BryceCon participants.

BryceCon admission is $30 for adults and $20 for youth. Registration is available online at www.brycecon.com. During the convention, Ruby's Inn will offer discounted room rates starting at $45 a night.
