Tabletop Scotland

Tabletop Scotland has grown into the country's leading convention for board games and roleplaying games, hosted at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh. This archive chronicles Geek Native's long-term coverage of the event's evolution. Rather than just a list of past attendees, these historical records document shifting industry trends, from the early playtesting of breakout indie titles to major product launches by established publishers. This collection serves as a definitive timeline of the community milestones and game demonstrations that have shaped Scotland's premier tabletop trade fair.
