What are others saying about BGD?
“This was SO fun!! Definitely recommend checking out board game days! This was our first year going and it was a very good experience with lots of fun new games to try!”
- Cameron Seals Naysmith
“I've been traveling from North Carolina to BGD every year since it started up. I've got a group of friends in Knoxville now that have become my reason to keep coming back. But that's not to discount the value of the event. It's well organized, has a great turnout, and as a designer, I've always had really good experiences playtesting my prototypes.”
- Chris Metivier
“Super friendly staff and a huge array of games to try!”
- Abigail LoMay
Board Game Days is passionate about strengthening the community and promoting lifelong learning through interactive tabletop board gaming.
This is sustained though the Board Game Days and Protospiel Knoxville conventions, structured as an educational program and event featuring board games at large. We provide an environment for critical thinking, strategy, literacy, and social skills through hands-on teaching, and provide a space for game design as a creative art inviting creators to playtest and develop their board game prototypes. We actively combat social isolation, foster inter-generational interaction, and conduct outreach to local schools and community organizations. We accept donations towards these goals, and invite you to join us in achieving them.
