"Fantastic indie gaming event! Made so many great contacts and friends...and tried so many new games. The venues and staff are always too knotch. Perfect for publishers, reviewers and fans alike!" ~Evan Hunt, Originz: The Superpowered Card Game

What's the deal?

"What a great event. Perfect way to network and play some amazing games. Glad I attended." ~Jason Sirignano, Worker Placer

"It's the only convention where I feel I have a much more casual and personal experience with everyone who sits down to play my game." ~Jack Poon, Creative Cove Games

We're in the Board Game Renaissance: Tabletop gaming has enjoyed a massive resurgence in recent years - many people still believe that "spending time" means actually getting together in the same room as one another!

Family Friendly: The festival is designed to bring people of all ages together. Most featured games are playable with children ages 10 and up.

Cool New Games: Many of the games featured at the festival have yet to be launched, so you will be seeing and playing games with their designers, before the general public can get their hands on them!

Local Crafters: Support the "little guy" - this festival is dedicated to highlighting independent ("indie") game designers, the moral equivalent of "mom and pop shops" for the gaming industry. Our featured designers are mostly from Connecticut and surrounding states.

Pure Fun: Board games and card games are exciting and fun, by definition! What better way to support your community and spend time with your loved ones?!
