If you’re that person at the houseparty who zones out every time someone explains the complex rules of a board game, the problem might not be you. This year, Indian board game makers made it easier for desi audiences to find relatability and familiarity on the board with some inventive games. From seaside adventures to games based on historical events, finding them is not too difficult in the mushrooming board game clubs and communities all across the city and its suburbs. To catch the best of the lot under one roof, head to board game convention Meeplecon 2026 this weekend.

ON October 17 and 18; 11 am to 8 pm
