Singapore’s largest homegrown tabletop gaming convention, TableCon Quest 2026, returns for its third edition on August 1 and 2 at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, bringing together board game enthusiasts, trading card game players, role playing fans, miniature hobbyists and families for two days of gaming, creativity and community.
Organised by Eliphant and Genesis Frontier, the event will take place across Halls 404 to 406 from 10am to 8pm daily. Since its debut, TableCon Quest has grown into one of Singapore’s leading gatherings for the tabletop gaming community, reflecting the increasing popularity of board games and tabletop experiences across the region.
The global tabletop gaming scene continues to expand as more people seek social activities that encourage face to face interaction away from digital screens. Industry estimates suggest the global board games market will approach US$16 billion in 2025, while younger audiences, particularly Gen Z, are increasingly embracing tabletop games as both a recreational and social activity.
Visitors to TableCon Quest 2026 can look forward to a wide range of activities catering to both newcomers and experienced players. The convention will feature competitive tournaments for trading card games and board games, an Open Play Area where attendees can join casual gaming sessions, and rol- playing game demonstrations including Dungeons and Dragons. Publishers will also participate in the popular Play and Win programme, allowing visitors to try selected games for a chance to win them in an end of convention lottery.
Creators Alley returns with an expanded showcase of independent artists and designers offering original artwork, commissions and merchandise, while exhibitors will present the latest tabletop games, miniatures, collectibles and hobby supplies. Families can also enjoy beginner friendly activities including cat miniature painting sessions and casual games suitable for players of all ages.
One of the major highlights this year is the return of the Bushiroad Card Game Festival, which will feature tournaments, demonstrations and stage activities for popular titles including Cardfight!! Vanguard, Weiß Schwarz, Shadowverse: Evolve, hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME and the newly launched Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME. The Singapore edition forms part of Bushiroad’s expanded regional festival, which also takes place in Tokyo and South Korea, while celebrating the 18th anniversary of Weiß Schwarz and the 15th anniversary of Cardfight!! Vanguard.
Fans will also be among the first to experience the Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME, which officially launches during the convention and will be available to play throughout the event.
Grand Archive returns with an even stronger presence this year, featuring its own dedicated tournament alongside booth activities for competitive players and newcomers alike.
The Indie Wavemakers zone has also expanded significantly, welcoming a larger lineup of independent tabletop developers and publishers from Singapore and across the region. Visitors can discover original card games, worker placement games, narrative adventures, party games and other innovative creations from emerging designers.
Additional exhibitors include miniatures specialist HammerHouse, showcasing the new Starcraft Miniatures game, the Ultraman Card Game, as well as numerous Singapore and regional studios presenting wargaming, deduction games and strategy titles.
