Twin Cities Tabletop Games Expo

DISCOVER LOCAL TABLETOP PUBLISHERS, DESIGNERS, AND COMMUNITIES.

PLAY GAMES AND MEET THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEM

April 16th - 18th, 2027 • Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

Come join TTGX in connecting with the culture behind the scenes: publishers and designers of your favorite games, local indies in your city, and the board gaming communities that tie it all together.

Minnesota and the Midwest are powerhouses of board game business and culture, hosting world-class publishers, unbeatable conventions, and a long and storied history of playing tabletop games. TTGX brings them front and center.

Join us for scheduled and free play board games, card games, big-game events, raffles, local board game communities, and a one-of-a-kind exhibitor hall packed with local publishers big and small!

Have a game you want to run? (It doesn't have to be local)

Submit a scheduled session and we'll work to fill your table.

Grab your badge and get ready for a wonderful weekend of gaming!
