About us
This is a meetup page for Japan`s International Gamers Guild in the Tokyo/Kanto area--Since 1992, JIGG has been Japan's largest and longest running English speaking and bilingual gaming group. We play roleplaying games, boardgames, CCGs (Collectible Card Games, i.e., Magic) historical simulation games (wargames), miniatures games (including historical miniatures and games by Games Workshop), and traditional games like chess. Regular meetings are organized at least once a month. Just bring your favorite board game and there will definitely be someone willing to try it with you.
Are you visiting Tokyo on vacation/business tip and need a game fix? JIGG Tokyo caters also for you, come play board games in Tokyo with us!
JIGG was started by Steve Brown a.k.a. "STAN" and Kevin Burns a.k.a. "greatpowers" to find gamers and help promote game events in the Tokyo/Kanto area. We welcome new hosts that can schedule game days in the greater Tokyo area. If you would like to host a game day, feel free to contact us.
If you would like to become a host and organize game day/night then:
• You need to be able to provide 20-30 games at the venue.
• Be able to provide space for at least 20 people in a public location.
• The game day should be open to everyone to bring and play any game they like (with exception to games related to gambling).
JIGGとは、言ってしまえば毎週末に集まってボードゲームをやってるグループです。名前にインターナショナルと付く通り、参加者は海外の方が多いです。 と はいえ、日本にお住まいの方々ですから大体日本語はわかりますし、「英語全然しゃべれない!」と心配する必要は無いです。
ゲームデーは、毎週の日曜日に首都圏4か所で開催しています。
是非一度遊びに来て下さい!

Akihabara tabletop board games day
Izumibashi Kuminkan, 神田佐久間町1-11-7, 東京, JPLooking for a fun and friendly group to play board games with in Tokyo? Look no further! JIGG Tokyo Board Game Group is excited to host a full day of tabletop board games where you can make new friends and have a blast. Whether you're a seasoned board game enthusiast or new in town, this event is perfect for you.
You do not need to join from the start, people come and go all through the day. Come when its most convenient to you.
Our Sunday sessions focus mainly on medium to heavy Euro-style and strategy games such as Terraforming Mars, Brass: Birmingham, Ark Nova, and Great Western Trail. We also regularly play the latest releases and new arrivals from crowdfunding — perfect for those who enjoy the “cult of the new.” That said, there’s always room for lighter and midweight games like Catan or Clank! for variety and to fill shorter time slots during the day.
Attendance fee will be around the usual 400 ~ 500 yen we charge for most of our other locations too, just to cover the room booking fees.
