How do I get access to the Game Library? The Game Library is now included with your badge! There is no extra cost to check out games or use the tables.

Can anyone check out a game? Attendees with a valid Origins Badge & valid photo ID (Government issued) can check out a game. You can check out one game per ID at a time. Only the ID Holder can check out/check in the game.

Does the game I check out have to stay in the Board Room? Yes. The games are meant to be checked out for you to play during your time in the Board Room. Once you are done playing the game, bring it back to the desk and check out another one if you like. Any games not returned by the time the library closes down at midnight, will result in the attendee’s ID being kept overnight and not available for pick up until the next morning.

Will there be game giveaways? Yes, depending on the sponsorship support for the Board Room. If there will be game giveaways, it will be announced on this page and in the Board Room Facebook group before/during the show as details become available.

What is Buckeye Game Festivals? I thought CABS ran the Board Room? BGF currently runs the Origins Board Room as well as the local gaming convention Buckeye Game Fest. Buckeye Game Festivals grew from CABS. They are the original convention committee that worked on behalf of CABS for previous years in the Board Room (Now the Origins Game Library). They have partnered with CABS to bring you a great experience in the Game Library.
