AVALONCON . . . (July 31st through August 4th, 1996, at the Marriott Hunt 
Valley Inn)

In only four short years, AVALONCON has become THE place to be for boardgamers 
interested in pursuing their hobby to the highest level. Avalon Hill's "back 
to basics" approach has proven immensely popular with gamers who revel in four 
solid days of competition, free from the commercial distractions of other game 
conventions.

Engaging in rated play with legitimate seeding systems and proper recognition 
for winners has given the boardgaming hobby a new sense of direction and 
esprit de corps which is truly infectious. Come see why 98% of all AVALONCON 
attendees swear they'll return to this Baltimore suburb next year for more of 
the same.

This year's AVALONCON will also include computer game tourneys and 
demonstrations of our latest games.
