ABGF IS COMING TO THE PHILIPPINES!
Introducing the first Filipino edition of the Asian Board Games Festival in Manila, 2026. Mark your calendars and contact Freddie at gamemaster@ludusproducts.com to register your interest to exhibit.
The Asian Board Game Festival: Philippines is happening at Bayanihan Center, Pioneer St, Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines on Saturday-Sunday, 2-3 May 2026.
The Asian board Games Festival (ABGF) was initially organized by Origame in 2019, and was envisioned to foster a deeper appreciation of the diverse, vibrant, creative and unique Asian board game culture. The event has since then expanded to include Malaysia in 2024 and now the Philippines in 2026!
At it's core, ABGF is driven by a mission to build connections through the joy of tabletop gaming, foster a community of tabletop gamers, and support Asian creators and talent.
ABGF is not just your usual boardgame event. It is a platform to showcase the creativity and diversity of Asian talent and culture. It is an event for both seasoned and new gamers to get a taste of all the different flavors of Asian board gaming.
So what can Filipino gamers expect from ABGF Philippines? This year's lineup of games include games from 10 countries, ranging from strategic to family-friendly party games. Entry is free and everyone is invited to try all the games showcased. For those who wish to track their gaming journey, visitors can purchase an ABGF passport to collect stamps from publishers whose games they play or purchase during the event, which gives them a chance to win prizes and event merchandise.
PLAY a part in OUR journey and Play your way through Asia!
