Terminal City Tabletop Convention @terminalcitycon.ca · May 20

We've had to change the date and location for our 2026 show. The venue informed us that there would be construction happening (jackhammering) at Canada Place, so we needed to make a change!

New date and location:
March 13-15, 2026
Vancouver Convention Centre WEST
Exhibition Hall A

The fact that innocent Palestinians keep disappearing and no Western government is calling it out should worry all.

The more this gets normalised, the more this will happen. And not just on THAT piece of occupied land.

Why are we constantly okay with the rights of Palestinians getting run over?

Rami Ismail (رامي) @ramiismail.com · Mar 24

This is why we have a "Rasheed gets assassinated, maimed, or disappeared" production plan for Dreams on a Pillow, his game about the Nakba. Israeli terrorists, Israel's occupation, and the US genocide all mean we have to prepare for this outcome for him, too.

This is one of the few Pocketopia projects that hasn’t hit its goal yet. The premise seems clever to me, and I love the option for solo/duet modes. I’m in; anyone care to join and help push it across the finish line?

Kyle Tam is Hitting the Road, Jack! @percypropa.bsky.social · Mar 25

www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

All games must come to an end, but in the case of Hit the Road, Jack I chose to make it a bit CYOA and conclude with multiple endings.

It’s something I’ve done across a number of journalling games (Rasputin, Primadonna) - I guess it’s like a signature?

Hit the Road, Jack!

Hit the Road, Jack is a solo/duet game of adrenaline rush and creeping terror. Of chasing and being chased, of being forced to face your sins or to leave them all behind. It is a game of cat and mouse...

I watched an older Nancy Drew game playthrough a few weeks ago and was tickled to see that it featured a game I used to play when I was a kid - Scopa!
Last week I was glancing through the used games and found a copy at @terminalcitycon.ca!!
And - my partner has beat me at every game so far 😂

Shot live at Terminal City Tabletop Convention 2025, a YouTuber with zero Catan skills tries to win at our Settlers of Catan qualifier. Can he do it? Will he even win a single game?

Check out his fun video, you board game nerds!

Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025

Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet. In previous years, the people running it didn't do the best job. Right after the COVID lockdowns were over, a new group took over but it was so late (and I think they actually lost the reservation for the previous space for some reason?) that they didn't have a lot of choice in venues.

Last weekend's @terminalcitycon.ca was a celebration of all things tabletop gaming.

During the event, I got to play loads of awesome new games. Including four games that I'm certain will become massive hits when they arrive on game store shelves!
