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. We have rooms that stay open the whole con for all-night gaming, too!

  • Host of events, including board games, RPGs run by Lurking Fears, Artemis ship bridge simulator, and more!
  • 2025 Tournaments: TBD
  • Annual Raffle: Chance to win great prizes donated by our wonderful sponsors.
    50% of the proceeds will be donated to The Spiel Foundation
