Tabletop Gaming
Unplug at WasabiCon and experience gaming of the analog variety.
NOTE: This is the information for 2025. Please check back for 2026.
WasabiCon boasts the largest tabletop gaming room of any pop culture convention in North Florida. With over 10,000 square feet of space dedicated exclusively to board games, CCGs, TCGs, RPGs, and practically anything involving dice, cards, and creativity – the WasabiCon Tabletop Game Room located in the Grand Lobby is where attendees go to find demos, pick up games, and select vendors chosen to enhance your analog gaming experience.
Those interested in being a part of this area of the event can do so in one of four ways:
Tabletop Game Room Vendor
SOLD OUT. Similar to the Vendor Spaces in the Exhibitors Hall, we have four (4) spaces dedicated for vendors in the Tabletop Game Room.
Like standard Vendor Spaces, they include:
- One (1) 10’x10′ space. (100 square feet.)
- One (1) table.
- Two (2) chairs.
- Two (2) Vendor Badges.

Additionally, these spaces also include:
- Additional display and storage space. Each Tabletop Vendor is set up in front of a small alcove adding extra square footage.
- Longer hours! The Tabletop Game Room closes no less than one hour after the Exhibitors Hall on Friday, and no less than two hours after the Exhibitor Hall on Saturday. (Actual hours TBD.)
WasabiCon Tabletop Game Room Vendor Booths are $725.00 each. This includes the price of the space and all processing fees.
Waitlist?! Don’t panic! All applications for WasabiCon Vendors Space are placed on a waitlist so that our team has time to review each application. This helps us determine that your business’s theme is inline with our Tabletop Game Room. Please note that, once approved, your payment will be PROCESSED IMMEDIATELY. This may happen weeks after applying (we have a large number of applications to review) so please make sure you apply with a credit card that will remain active during this time. If, when processed, your payment is declined, you may lose your place in the approval queue and will have to apply again.
