Gaming Room Rules

2. While we encourage people to come to the game room and enjoy themselves, if there are other individuals wanting to play a particular game after another guest has been playing for an extended period of time, room staff reserve the right to force the aforementioned guest out of his/her position, so that every guest may have an equal chance to enjoy the games.

5. While we understand that some of our patrons would prefer to spend most/all of their time in the gaming room, we ask that gamers adhere to basic hygiene abilities and ask that gamers take a break. If a gamer should prove to be a distraction to others through poor hygiene, Naka-Kon reserves the right to remove the gamer from the room.
