Ropecon offers a huge selection of role-playing games. If role-playing is completely new to you, you can try it out in beginner-friendly games. You can immerse yourself in exciting adventures for a few hours, and experienced game masters are happy to help first-time players get started.

Many beginner-friendly games feature pre-made characters or very simple character creation, so you can start playing as quickly as possible. The rules are also often quite simple, so first-timers don’t need to worry about the game being too complicated. Many role-playing games require advance registration through registration system called Konsti, but some beginner-friendly games are organized so that anyone interested in playing can arrive at any time.

During the event, visitors and game masters are served by the Ropelarp Desk in Hall 3.

Registration for tabletop role-playing games takes place through the Konsti tool.

If you would rather step into a character’s shoes than roll dice, larps offer the chance to immerse yourself in another person’s role for a while. In larps, players portray characters using their bodies, while tabletop role-playing games are played through conversation around a gaming table. Ask the Ropelarp desk in Hall 3 for more information about beginner-friendly games.

Ropecon’s Experience Point offers a low-threshold opportunity to play, try out, and discover new games. The Experience Point features a variety of guided and beginner-friendly gaming sessions for many different tastes, which you can join either on your own or with a larger group. The Experience Point’s game helpers can also give you tips on finding suitable games and teach you the rules and basics of playing if necessary.

The Experience Point is an excellent place to discover new games, practice playing, and find gaming companions at Ropecon. For first-time visitors, it is the perfect place to get started and experience the joy of gaming!

The Experience Point info desk can be found in Hall 5, next to the Games Desk.

Tabletop role-playing games and larps are not the only things to play at Ropecon; the event also offers plenty of opportunities to play board games and card games. For example, the Finnish Board Game Society’s game library allows visitors to borrow a wide variety of games. In addition to the games themselves, the Board game Library in Hall 4 also provides advice and recommendations for finding a game that suits you.

The Board Game Society’s collection includes a huge selection of different games, so there is sure to be something suitable regardless of age or group size.

At Ropecon, you can also explore the world of miniature gaming and try out different games in guided play sessions. Miniature games combine strategy, tactics, and impressive gaming tables where small-scale figures charge into battles and adventures. No prior experience is needed, as the game masters will help you get started and introduce the basics of the games.

A key part of miniature wargaming also involves building and painting your own miniatures. You can try this at Ropecon’s miniature painting station and in the workshops held alongside it. Inspiration for your own masterpiece can be found in the miniature exhibition area, where competitions and displays showcase increasingly impressive works of miniature art.

Gaming opportunities also often appear spontaneously at Ropecon. If you see a game session that interests you, it is worth asking whether you can join the next round.
