Mystic Era

MondoCon is finally just around the corner, and the Mystic Era free photo area is ready to welcome visitors once again!

With Halloween approaching, we’re bringing you a darker, more mysterious style this time.

The photo area will evoke a witch’s lair, complete with spiders, cobwebs, eerie lighting, and a glowing cauldron.

Next to the exhibition area, you’ll find Senga, whose unique, handmade accessories will be available to use during your photoshoots — along with plenty of spooky new creations!

You can also meet Kriszti, who will be offering free makeup at MondoCon.

Our models will transform right before your eyes into creatures born from a dark and mysterious world.

Once the transformation is complete, you’ll be able to take photos of them — and, of course, pose for photos together with them!

Come and join us!

Alkotók Tábora – Creator’s Camp

As All Hallows’ Eve draws near, the gates once again open just a crack toward other worlds… And this autumn, the Alkotók Tábora Foundation will be there to guide you through them.

Deep in the Cursed Forest, the cauldron is already bubbling, a witch’s wand cuts through the air, and something tells us… this year, we won’t be rolling only dice.

Whether you’re a greenhorn adventurer or a seasoned horror survivor, everyone is welcome here — provided you survive the night.

Find us at the Purple Counter, where the witch’s cauldron is smoking away!

At this MondoCon, these are the games we’ll be summoning you into:

  • Dungeons & Dragons 5/5.5E – the classic that never goes out of style
  • Vaesen – Nordic folk horror emerging from mist-shrouded forests
  • Dread – where you don’t roll dice, you pull from a Jenga tower… and gamble with your own fate
  • Fallout – a post-apocalyptic wasteland seasoned with mutants
  • Call of Cthulhu – cosmic horror that will leave you changed by the end
  • My Little Pony – because sometimes even the darkness needs a little rainbow
  • Avatar Legends – elemental powers and inner balance in a magical world
  • Cats of Catthulhu – when even your cat knows that something is terribly wrong in the house
  • Everyone Is John – one body, several insane minds… which one will you control?
  • Cyberpunk RED – a neon-lit dystopia where the horror comes from technology
  • Goblin Quest – chaotic, hilarious, deadly — all three at once

Only at Autumn MondoCon! You’ll also have the chance to try the beta version of Budapest 1899, one of the Hungarian projects featured by the Gamefound RPG Party! A unique, mysterious turn-of-the-century Budapest awaits you — perfectly suited to the Halloween atmosphere!

And if that’s not enough: this year, we’re bringing a surprise photo spot along with the games. The only question is… will you dare to step in front of it?

We’ll also have a special guest: the Lidérc Műhely from Veszprém! Dressed as witches and evil wizards, they’ll introduce the public to their recently opened magical hideaway.

Karuta

What is karuta? Come discover and try one of Japan’s traditional games, a true peak of reflex and memory games! It is an art intertwined with haiku, based on a collection of one hundred poems.

Our club has now been active for ten years and warmly welcomes anyone interested. Even far from Japan, we actively practice this art twice a week, training both body and mind. I can personally confirm that the game is just as exhausting as it looks—but just as exciting as well.

Don’t worry, no knowledge of Japanese is required to play. All you need to do is enjoy the game—we’ll help you through any complications.

Both the game and the club are free, so if you like it, you are welcome to join our training sessions anytime!

Star Trek club – Kóbor trekkerek

The Kóbor Trekkers will appear as usual, with a few new additions. A thematic Star Trek exhibition, tribble- and weapon-petting, Star Trek face and body painting, and a Borg regeneration chamber photo wall. The popular Parent Preservation area will also return. The well-known Borg dodgeball will take place in the ConArena.

And of course, there will be conversations about Star Trek and sci-fi. 🚀

VTES

The time has come for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle (VTES) to step out of the shadows and reveal itself to you!

VTES was designed in 1994 by Richard Garfield, and it was the third collectible card game ever created, following Magic: The Gathering and Spellfire.
On the fall con, we’ll be there to present this cult classic card game that has been running for over 30 years, where ancient vampire clans clash for power in the Dark Night.

Come and meet our Community, try the game, and immerse yourself in the world of the World of Darkness!
Join us and step into the shadows of the Masquerade, and let the struggle for dominion over the eternal night begin!

Shogi Budapest

Shogi is a board-based strategy game similar to chess. In Japan, there are 10 million active players, and the game is spreading to more and more places around the world. What makes it unique is that the pieces are never permanently eliminated from the game — right up until the last moment, there is an intense battle to capture the opponent’s king.
Shogi was introduced to Hungary two decades ago, with the first club established in Debrecen, followed later by another in Budapest. By now, the player base has grown large enough for a national championship to be held annually
