Rock Con 2025 Recap
A Day of Games, Community, and Pure Joy
What a day! On Saturday, September 20th, 2025, we welcomed gamers from across Rockland, Bergen, and beyond to gather under one roof — the second floor of IKEA Paramus — for an unforgettable day of board gaming at Rock Con 2025.
From the moment the doors opened to the final roll of the dice, the room buzzed with laughter, strategy, new friendships, and shared wins. Whether you were deep into a 3-hour euro game or discovering a quick card game for the first time, you were part of something special.
🎲 Highlights from the day include:
A packed library of modern and classic board games
Incredible volunteers and game hosts who kept the fun flowing
Raffle winners walking away with big grins (and even bigger prizes)
First-time attendees becoming part of the Banditos Gaming family
And of course… plenty of meatballs and mid-game snack breaks!
This video captures just a slice of the magic. Whether you joined us in person or are discovering Rock Con for the first time — thank you for being part of this growing community of players, learners, and game lovers.
