CardCon is a trading card game (TCG) convention that takes place alongside the Spellenspektakel, a major board and card game event in the Netherlands.[1] The event features tournaments for popular trading card games such as Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Disney Lorcana[2], and One Piece. These competitions range from casual play to high-stakes tournaments, attracting both amateur players and experienced competitors.[3]
Activities
In addition to tournaments, the event includes designated trading areas where attendees can exchange cards with other collectors, as well as vendor booths offering sealed products, special promo cards, accessories, and rare or graded cards. Special exhibits and artist showcases provide opportunities for fans to meet illustrators and creators involved in the trading card game industry.
Demonstration sessions and learn-to-play events introduce new players to various TCGs, while panel discussions and Q&A sessions with industry experts offer insights into game mechanics, strategy, and collecting trends. CardCon also hosts exclusive product launches and previews, allowing attendees to experience upcoming releases before they hit the market.[4]
The next edition of CardCon is scheduled to be held on November 8–9, 2025, at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, Netherlands. The convention brings together players, collectors, and enthusiasts, offering a platform for competitive play and community engagement within the trading card game scene.
