Local Malaysian tabletop community group KakiTabletop announced that they are organising an event in celebration of International Tabletop Day. Curated by KakiTabletop and their friends, this year’s event will be held at the ground floor concourse of the Great Eastern Mall in Kuala Lumpur on the first weekend of June, on 1 June and 2 June 2024.

The breadth of games available will include local and international games and all tabletop gaming genres. The International Tabletop Day Malaysia 2024 event will feature all four major tabletop gaming genres: Board Games, Miniature Games, Role Playing Games, and Trading Card Games; with each genre given a dedicated quadrant. While the event is free entry (no tickets required) certain workshops and sessions will require pre-registration & a small fee to play.

KakiTabletop started as a community-building effort 10 years ago and they have been hosting monthly meetups for the last two years. They started small and got interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic before finally being able to host the International Tabletop Day Malaysia 2024 event in 2024.
