PAX Australia 2024 is bringing in more tables, as the Tabletop area expands greatly

PAX Australia has detailed some of what tabletop players can look forward to when the show rolls around this October, including a big presence from Lorcana, which just launched its 5th series.

For Lorcana, fans will be able to get hands on discovering the fantastic secrets of Lorcana with some familiar Disney friends and reimagined characters. Whether you’re a first-timer, regular TCG player or collector, there will be an opportunity to explore, learn and immerse yourself in the magical world of Disney Lorcana.

Disney Lorcana will be accompanied by other tabletop icons such as Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. In celebration of its 50th anniversary in 2024, Dungeons & Dragons will feature exclusive merchandise and hands-on demos of new sets, available from 10am to 10pm Friday through Saturday, and 10am to 6pm on Sunday.

Bandai is also presenting an impressive array of activities, including learn-to-play sessions, tournaments, and events for their popular trading card games: One Piece, Dragon Ball Super, Digimon, and the latest addition, Sand Land.

Miniature aficionados will be happy to learn that ‘Paint and Take’ will be returning in 2024 thanks to Let’s Play Games, who promise something a little different this year. While we cannot reveal too much, painters should expect to enter a Mediaeval world of wonder! Star Wars: Unlimited fans will ‘feel the Force’ as they will be able to get their hands on an exclusive ‘Grogu’ event promo card. There will also be new releases from Exploding Kittens Studios, Big Potato Games, CATAN New Energies, Forrest Shuffle and more.

Off the exhibition floor, there will be even more content for tabletop lovers, including the introduction of a new theatre, the Owlbear theatre, which will see TTRPG - One Shot Adventures being run throughout the weekend.

More details about what you can expect from the show can be found on the official website, or you can follow along with us.
