28th Annual Chattanooga Rail Gaming Challenge

Come to the longest running rail gaming convention in the southeast as we celebrate our 28^th year! If it’s a game with a railroad theme, we play it!

As in the past, we will have 18xx and Puffing Billy tournaments plus open gaming from Thursday morning until Sunday evening. We hope to have a special Thursday night event for the early birds plus some special surprises as we gather annually for what has been called “train gamer heaven”. Learn new games or play old favorites. New games start every hour and new players are welcome^*.

The cost for meeting space is higher so the admission fee has to go up, but the rooms are cheaper so the overall cost of attending will be cheaper.

To get the convention rate (and for us to get credit for it), you must make the reservation through the links on the left. There are limited rooms, particularly the queen suites and on Sunday night, so if you have any difficulty registering the dates you want please email me so I can get them to add more rooms. The room block expires December 11.

Since we're on the hook if insufficient room nights are sold, there will be a drawing for all the people who are currently registered in the hotel room blocks on September 15, 2023 - the prize is one free entry for the tournament (refunded if already paid).

The Residence Inn only has suites with one King bed and a sofa bed available, so we also added rooms at the sister hotel, TownePlace Suites, across the parking lot. These have 2 queen beds and are cheaper, but it is a short walk to where the convention is held - it might be inconvenient in bad weather.

If paying online, register first. Then come back here and pay using PayPal - just paying does not get you registered.
