Tabletop Gaming

Tabletop gaming

At Capricon 2024, gaming hosts Capricorn Tabletop are pulling out all the stops to bring an array of free tabletop games for the whole family to enjoy. 

Games range from 15 minutes to multi-hour tactical strategy games. Most games are suitable for ages 12 and up and require some reading and numeracy.

Whether you’re an experienced gamer or would like to learn a new game, the gaming area at McCamley Pavilion is the place to be for tabletop fun. 

There’ll be a range of games set out for anyone to sit down and enjoy with a group, or if you need a little help getting started, there are also organised games with helpful volunteers on hand to explain how to play and offer suggestions on games to suit your interests.

Tabletop gaming ground rules

  1. Please treat the games with respect.

  2. Please keep them in the pavilion.

  3. Please pack them up after use.

  4. Please keep food and drink away from gaming tables.

There will be organised games at set times throughout the day. You can sign up with friends, or alone, whichever suits you. Please drop by the Tabletop Zone in the Walter Pierce Pavilion and sign up for only one session per game to allow as many as possible to have a turn.
