Just One More…
Thank you to everyone who came to our fourth ever tabletop gaming convention Tabletop Oahu Spring 2026! The two day weekend was filled with demos, learn-to-plays, tournaments, role playing games, panels, miniature painting, shopping at our vendor and artist booths, buying and selling preowned games at the bazaar, and, of course, gaming out of our massive library and Play & Win offerings.
At Tabletop Oahu: Spring 2026, we had 486 attendees which is the most we have ever had at a Tabletop Oahu Convention and is running quite close to our attendance cap of 499! Will we beat the record at Tabletop Oahu: Fall 2026? Only time will tell!
The Numbers
Our top five games checked out from the library, not including Play & Win Games, are as follows:
- Lightspeed Arena
- Toy Battle
- Magical Athlete
- Moon Colony Bloodbath
- Concordia
And the most wanted games from our Play & Win selection were:Â
- Panda Royale
- Tokaido Duo
- Artistry
- Goats and Goblins
- Galactic Cruise
A Grande Giveaway
On a different note, we were thrilled to host a massive board game giveaway thanks to the generosity of Rio Grande Games! They sent us enough copies of Lyngk, Punct, Yinsh, Engine Thieves, Concordia, Woodcraft, Shipyard, Beyond the Sun, Resafa, Baltimore & Ohio, SNCF: France & Germany, Dice Realms & Zooloretto so that every attendee could take a game home for FREE! What game did you go home with?
Featured Guests
Also, we were so grateful to have the inspiring presence of our featured guests: legendary board game designer James Ernest (who is already planning to be back for Fall 2026!), and accomplished role playing game designer and Honolulu local Nicolas Logue. They are super awesome, super friendly, and super talented so we hope you took a little time out of your busy convention weekend to stop by, say hello, and maybe sit for a game or two.
Paint & Take
Speaking of a busy convention weekend, we increased the number of seats at our Paint & Take booth but it was still packed! Maybe it was thanks to the adorable on-theme miniatures that were specially 3d printed for our Spring event. Or maybe it was the amazing prize for the Paint & Take Contest that Monument Hobbies so generously sent us. There were so many great entries!
Role Playing Games
Our Role Playing Game Department went the extra mile to decorate the information booth and did their best to keep everything running smoothly. This time we had a total of 42 Games running over the convention weekend!
Artists & Vendors
We had Armchair Adventurer, Michis Toybox, Japanime Games, and BA Games showing off their wares! And of course our many creative and talented artists had their work on display in the Artist Alley. Many people let us know that the convention space felt a lot livelier and more fun thanks to having everyone in the same room! How did you feel about it?
Game Demos
Each convention, our volunteers host demos of games generously donated to our game library by our sponsors. These demos are great for beginners, and help get attendees oriented in a game and ready to play and teach their friends!Â

Sponsors
We had a ton of great sponsors for Tabletop Oahu: Spring 2026! Our sponsors help us put on a great show by donating games, prizes, labor, and time – many of our events would not be possible without their support. Thank you so much to all of the companies that help make our show awesome!
