Tabletop Utopia 2

We're happy to announce the second (of what we hope will be many, many more) Tabletop Utopia being held at the Connecticut Convention Center happening October 11-13, 2024.

With a focus on tabletop gaming, primarily board gaming and roleplaying games. We expect some tabletop strategy miniatures games, and possible some trading card games to be scheduled as well.

With our inaugural event (in March 2024) we changed up the traditional 4-hour game session schedule to 2 hour and 30 minute game sessions, along with a 30 minute extended break between the morning and afternoon sessions, and a 1-hour break between the afternoon and evening sessions so people can get out for a quick bite, or just spend some down time socializing. It worked out pretty well in most cases, RPG's ran in double sessions, longer board games also ran double sessions, and most board games fit nicely into single sessions.

This scheduling will allow us to offer 16 game sessions for more typical board games, and 8 sessions for more traditional tabletop roleplaying games.

Need more than 5 hours to teach, play, and finish up your game? You can combine up to 6 sessions on Friday or Saturday, or up to 4 sessions on Sunday!

Looking to play a specific game?

Become a Game Host, bring a copy and teach/run your favorite game to fellow gamers.

We expect that Game Hosts will play the board game they are teaching, where RPG Hosts will serve as the storyteller/narrator of the adventure they are running.

Game Hosts have access to a discounted badge registration rate, and after successfully completing 4 sessions, their badge registration fee will be refunded.

Successful sessions (a session in which a Game Host has two or more additional session participants) will be further rewarded with a $10 vendor credit being issued for the Game Host to spend with any of our Sponsor Vendors at the convention.

You'll find registration, hotel, and event submissions information on the pages here.

Book your room at the Marriott Hartford Downtown (attached to the Connecticut Convention Center) through September 20, 2024.
