The World Boardgaming Championships (WBC) is a convention held annually since 1999 by the Boardgame Players Association. It was previously held in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but moved to the Seven Springs Mountain Resort in 2016.[1] It is next scheduled for July 26 to August 3, 2025, at Seven Springs Mountain Resort near Pittsburgh, PA.[2] This convention replaced Avaloncon, which had been run from 1991 to 1998 by Avalon Hill.[3]

Each year, the convention pulls approximately 2,000 people from around the world to compete to be named champion of their favorite games. The 100 best-attended games from the previous convention (the “Century”) are scheduled, with additional games added by vote of BPA members and through sponsorships.
