Game Library

Our game library and playing area, organized by Buckeye Game Fest, uses the Columbus Area Boardgaming Society (CABS) library containing over 1,000 games! You can of course bring your own games to enjoy in the playing area, or check out one of the many games in the library. Regardless of what you choose to play, you’ll enjoy a quality playing experience with mats provided by Game Toppers!

F.A.Q.

What games are available in the library?

You can view the current CABS Library listing here: http://cabsgamers.org/library

How do I get access to the Game Library?

The Game Library is now included with your badge! There is no extra cost to check out games or use the tables.

Can anyone check out a game?

Attendees with a valid Origins Badge + Valid photo Id (Government issued) can check out a game. You can check out one game per ID at a time. Only the ID Holder can check out/check in the game.

Does the game I check out have to stay in the Game Library?

Yes. The games are meant to be checked out for you to play during your time in the Game Library. Once you are done playing the game, bring it back to the desk and check out another one if you like. Any games not returned by the time the library closes down at midnight, will result in the attendee's ID being kept overnight and not available for pick up until the next morning.

Will there be game giveaways?

We certainly hope so! Depending on the sponsorship support for the Game Library, there may be game giveaways. If they are available, it will be announced on this page and in the Facebook group before/during the show as details become available.

What is Buckeye Game Fest? I thought CABS ran the Game Library?

BGF currently runs the Origins Game Library as well as the local gaming convention Buckeye Game Fest. Buckeye Game Fest grew from CABS. We are the original convention committee that worked on behalf of CABS previous years in the Game Library. We are partnered with CABS to bring you a great experience in the Game Library.
