Atlanta Game Fest 49

Atlanta Game Fest

Celebrating our 22nd year, Atlanta Game Fest is a chance for boardgame fans to gather, socialize, see old friends (as well as make new ones) and really stretch out and get in four full days of fun and games. We get a great group of friendly folks who make getting into a game easy. There will also be an extensive selection of the games folks are most interested in playing now, since they went to the trouble of bringing them for play.

"Atlanta Game Fest! It is honestly the most friendly, welcoming, competitive and fun group around!" --Casandra

"The best of folks. The newest of games. The kindest of teachers. You'll find good people at 10 am or 10pm to play with and you'll leave marking your calendar for the next one." --DJ

"Great Games and Great People! So much fun getting to play games and learn new games in a friendly, welcoming environment!" --Paul

"The Best Gaming event in Atlanta." --Dave

Here is a list of past Game Fests

Schedule of Events

Thursday

10am game room opens. Registration is usually at the table closest to the main entrance in the game room. There should be a sign. Games along the wall are available for play. The owner has put their name inside each box, often stamped on the inside of the top lid, and has also made a sign with their name taped to the shelves or table/wall near their games to aid in returning the game. Games on the table are available for play. Games and anything stored under the tables are private property.
Finding people to play with is easy: They come to play with others at these events, so if you see folks milling about feel free to ask if they are looking for a game. There is also a dry-erase board where you can put game requests. Finally, we have "players wanted" and "teachers wanted" signs available. The main point of the event is to get folks into games, so if you need any assistance just ask Ward or anyone handy. We get a great group that makes the event easy and fun.

Friday

Open gaming all day!.

Saturday

10:45am set-up for Flea Market (Norcross)

11am-12pm Flea Market
The flea market is a great chance for folks to clear out some shelf space and get those unplayed games back into circulation. Remember, an unplayed game is an unhappy game. The flea market is free for all members; however, dealers may not sell new games at the flea market.

Selling games at the flea market is free (with your membership). There is no additional charge. However, if you have a lot of games to sell at the flea market you can reserve a table for $20. You can register and pay when you pick up your badge.

noon Roborally
Cube. Leon. Be there! (Meet at registration)

Sunday

We have the room until 11pm.

Memberships

Memberships for all four days are $75 each, $140 per couple, and $160 per family. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Memberships are limited and may not be available at the door. The price is the same as paying in advance, but no snazzy pre-printed name badge unless you email in advance that you are coming; then we will try to make you a badge as well.

Single-day memberships are not available. We suggest you register in advance to ensure a spot. Walk-up memberships will only be available if space allows.

Please note a list of names of attendees will be posted to the Facebook page prior to the event to make sure there are no omissions or corrections for the badges. If you wish to opt-out of having your name on that list, please email and we will not include your name on that list.

Hilton Atlanta Northeast

The Hilton Atlanta Northeast Locally known as the "Castle on the Hill," the Hilton Atlanta Northeast is located in the Peachtree Corners/Norcross area of metro Atlanta, easily accessible from both I-85 and I-285. Free self-parking. Dahlia's Restaurant & Porch serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The 24 hour Lobby Shop featuring Starbuck's coffee, snacks & sodas. Atlanta Game Fest has secured a group rate of $139. Why fight Atlanta traffic when you can stay and play? We can't guarantee this rate after the April 9, 2026 cut-off date, so why not book now? You can cancel up to 72 hours before your stay.

Our ability to fill guest rooms is a big part of what makes the event worthwhile for the hotel. Towards that end, people who take room will be entered into a drawing for one of three free passes to the next Atlanta Game Fest! One chance per room-night, so the more nights you take the more chances to win. The hotel sends us a list of who took rooms and how many nights, so you are automatically entered. Thanks to everyone who takes guest rooms, it really helps insure that Atlanta Game Fest can continue.
