Tournaments

Each year, Gen Con Indy plays host to some of the most exciting and competitive tournaments for our Organized Play games, and this year looks to follow suit with a full compliment of North American Championships, including the first annual North American Championship for Warhammer: Diskwars. Additionally, you’ll find other tournaments for Warhammer 40,000: Conquest, Star Wars™: The Card Game, and more!
