A large hall full of folks playing board games together. A sign hangs above: "Tabletop PAX"

PAX has always led with videogames as a focus, but the tabletop zone has steadily grown to become the heart of the action for many fans. This year PAX Australia has announced it is expanding tabletop even further, with a Warhammer 'debut' along with all the usual space for board games, card games, and RPGs.

It feels weird to think of it as a debut? But to date a lot of the minatures fun at the show has been the painting areas, not in the zones of play. So it'll be interesting to roam the space anew with armies around the halls.

There are rumblings that this means the shopping areas in that same tabletop hall area will be smaller than past years, but hopefully we'll still find sexy dice and ways to buy the board games we've just fallen in love with through the PAX game library.
