Western Canada’s Largest Tabletop Gaming Convention

Terminal City Tabletop Convention (TCTC) is a Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-based celebration of all things tabletop gaming.

Launched in 2014 by Shannon Lentz, the event brings gamers of all ages and genres together for three inclusive and fun days of gaming. We welcome experienced gamers and those new to the hobby. From board games, role-playing games, card games, party games, proto-games… we have something for everyone. We feature over 3,500 sq m (38,000 sq ft) of gaming space, and a board game library of over 700 games!

Our event has seen consistent growth over the years. TCTC welcomes a diverse community of attendees, with a strong presence of women gamers, LGBTQ+ gamers, BIPOC gamers, and families of all ages. Our event attracts attendees from British Columbia and neighbouring provinces and states, from as far away as California.

The event was taken over by Andrea and Blair Driedger in 2020, two longtime TCTC volunteers who wanted to keep the spirit of TCTC alive even through a pandemic. They adapted the event to an online format for three years, and were excited to be back in-person in 2023. Andrea and Blair have grown the event so that our event’s home is now at the Vancouver Convention Centre in Downtown Vancouver.

TCTC has grown and changed a lot over the years, but the heart of the event remains the same: to host a welcoming and inclusive event that celebrates all types of tabletop gaming in British Columbia.
