Welcome!

Buckeye Game Fest will be held May 2 – 5, 2024
The War Room at Buckeye Game Fest will be April 29th – May 5th.

Buckeye Game Fest is central Ohio’s premiere board gaming convention.  This convention has been a local favorite for over two decades, best known for our open board gaming space and featuring the Columbus Area Boardgaming Society’s extensive game library.  Check out a game you’ve been dying to play or bring your own. Our main gaming hall doors and tables stay open the whole convention.

In addition to open gaming, our show also offers the following:

  • Host of events, including board games, RPGs run by Lurking Fears, Artemis ship bridge simulator, and more!
  • 2024 Tournaments: Catan US National Qualifier, Dominion, and Cascadia
  • Annual Raffle: Chance to win great prizes donated by our wonderful sponsors.
    50% of the proceeds will be donated to a non-profit charity
  • Vendor Hall
  • Play To Win:  Play newly sealed games to win them. Each play = One Entry
  • Back by popular demand will be the Consignment Store
