TABLETOP FREEPLAY
Seriously, we have so many tabletop games, you have no idea. We will have 6,000+ Freeplay seats and 3,000+ game library in 2024, without exaggeration. Think about all the pieces we’ll need to organize! And you just get to come enjoy it!
Look, here’s what we want you to do. Think of a tabletop game, and go to the Tabletop Library. We’ve probably got it. Check out the game. Find a table. If you’ve come with friends, force them to play with you. It shouldn’t be hard. If you’ve come alone, we’ve got a solution for that too...ask a Tabletop Freeplay Enforcer for a Looking for Group (LFG) marker. If you know you’re going to want to try a specific game at the show, you can even plan ahead and make plans to meetup through our Board Game Geek page.
If playing for fun sounds like a waste of your incredible talents, you may be interested to know we also have an absolutely bonkers schedule of Tabletop Tournaments every PAX for your to partake in. There are so many we can’t even fit them on a sign anymore.
Oh, did we mention that many of the vendors in our tabletop freeplay area stay open later? It’s true: You can keep shopping after the expo hall closes at 6:00 PM, perfect for when you win a brand new deck of cards and seem to be short on sleeves!
Ok, now that we’ve hyped it up enough, here’s a quick glimpse into what you can expect to be playable this year in our library. View the list on Board Game Geek.
DECEPTION ZONE
You may have found this webpage, but can you figure out which one of your friends is a werewolf? Head downstairs to the newly expanded location of PAX's Deception Zone, room 118A. Our Storytellers will guide you through games of Blood on the Clocktower, Werewolf, Two Rooms and a Boom, and more! Registration for each day's games is in-person, each morning of the show at the sign-up table just outside of this room.
