Meeple Mountain is thrilled to partner with Trevecca Nazarene University to bring Nashville Tabletop Day back for a 7th year. 2024 promises to be even better, with new sponsors, and many of your old favorites. Browse our library of games, or bring your favorites to share with new friends and old.
Nashville Tabletop Day 2024 will take place on April 20th, from 10am to 10pm, at Trevecca University near Downtown Nashville. Tickets are available now.
Help Support Nashville Tabletop Day!
Nashville Tabletop Day has been 100% free to attendees from day one, and we’re committed to that vision. However, running an event of this magnitude takes time and money. If board gaming makes you happy, and you enjoy Nashville Tabletop Day or other events put on by Meeple Mountain, please consider making a donation to help offset the cost of running these important events.
T-Shirts
You can also support Meeple Mountain by purchasing one of the T-shirts we’ll have available at this year’s event. Anyone preordering a Nashville Tabletop Day shirt is guaranteed to receive one. But we’ll only have a limited number of additional shirts available at the event, so don’t wait.

Giveaways & Play to Win!
Thanks to our numerous sponsors, Nashville Tabletop Day will have a number of door prizes that will be given away throughout the day. To reduce downtimes experienced in past years we’ll be using an SMS based system to notify winners. Anyone who wishes to be eligible to win a door prize must provide a cell phone number. This number will only be used for the duration of the event and will not be retained once the event is complete.
Door prize giveaways will occur at 1pm and 5pm.
In addition to the other games available to attendees, we have a large number of Play to Win games. Each person who plays one of these games will receive one chance to win that game. Only attendees who play that game will be eligible to win that game.
Winners will be notified via SMS at 9:30pm.
Game Library
Attendees are welcome and encouraged to bring their own games to play with friends (both new and old). However Nashville Tabletop Day will also have a large selection of some of the newest and hottest games, alongside classic games. Attendees will be required to provide a drivers license when checking a game out of the library. The drivers license will be returned when the game is returned.
Schedule of Events
This year, in addition to the open gaming and play to win library you’ve come to know and love, we’ll have RPG tables, an artists alley, and an entire room where you can playtest prototype games from local designers. We’ll even have an “outdoor games” area if you want to enjoy the beautiful sunshine while you game. And brand new this year will be our “low sensory” room for people who just need a break from the main gaming hall.

Marketing / Sales
We’re looking for someone with experience in local fundraising. Are you willing to reach out to local businesses to help sponsor this event? We’ll be looking for sponsors for the venue and of course giveaways.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If you are not comfortable doing this, you may contact a staff member who will address the concern.
If you, as an attendee, are asked to stop behaving in a way that is interpreted as harassment, you are expected to stop, immediately.

If anyone engages in harassing behavior, organizers may take any action they, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion.
Staff will be happy to provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.
