BOINGA Spring: Indie Board Game Showcase Tomorrow!


First off, that indie board game showcase we've been talking about starts in just 24 hours in downtown Boston. We've invited some of Boston's best game designers to show off the games they've built. All told we'll have roughly 30 games, ranging from pen-and-paper prototypes of new ideas fresh into the author's brain all the way to published products available for retail, and everything in between. Play party games, strategy games, card games, and every other kind of board game, all while hanging out in a beautiful Food Hall with plenty of delicious options. Our $25 early bird tickets are... SOLD OUT! Our $35 general admission tickets are... ALMOST SOLD OUT! After that, we have 35 last-chance tickets for $40 each before the event is sold out completely.
