Game Market 2026 Autumn

Game Market 2026 Autumn, one of Japan's largest conventions for analogue games, takes place on 17–18 October at Makuhari Messe in Chiba.

Most of what is on sale comes from the makers themselves — independent designers and small studios with games of their own, alongside dealers in new, old and second-hand titles. Around them are all the things that go with the hobby: rulebooks, tokens, dice and components.

First held in 2000, Game Market has grown into the country's premier gathering of its kind, drawing tens of thousands of players, creators and industry figures each year. Board games, card games, TRPGs and trading card games are all represented, and visitors of any age can browse, watch or sit down and play across the two days.
