If board games are your thing and playing such games for three days straight floats your boat, head to the Sheraton Hotel and Suites, 5151 E. Grant Road, this Friday for RinCon 16, Southern Arizona's premier gaming convention. 

The RinCon website promises games of all types: role-playing, minis, card games and life-sized versions of classics such as Pyramids and Catan. 

Play for hours, then buy the same games from on-site vendors so you can play some more at home. 

Steampunk is the theme for this year's activities.
