The Brussels Games Festival returns to The EGG Brussels in Anderlecht for its 11th edition, from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August 2026. Over three days, visitors will be able to discover board games in all their forms: new releases, family games, expert games, prototypes, role-playing games, trading card games, miniature games, creative activities, and opportunities to meet game designers, publishers, associations and clubs. Dedicated areas will also be available for children, creators and second-hand games. Whether you are a curious player, a passionate gamer or simply looking for a friendly day out with family or friends, the BGF offers an experience that is accessible to everyone. This year, the festival will explore the theme “Dice Connexion”. At a time when we are constantly connected, games offer us another way to come together. Around a table, screens can fade into the background for a while, making room for conversation, encounters, laughter and the stories we create together. Playing means connecting with others, but also with our imagination. Discovering new worlds, taking on the roles of different characters, creating strategies, telling stories and sharing emotions. With “Dice Connexion”, the Brussels Games Festival does not seek to set games against screens or to condemn digital practices. Instead, it raises a simple question: how can games help us reconnect with others, with ourselves and with our imagination? Opening hours: Friday 28 August 2.00 pm to 8.00 pm Mini night session from 8.00 pm to 12.30 am Saturday 29 August 10.00 am to 6.00 pm Game Night from 6.00 pm to 8.00 am on Sunday morning Last entry to the venue at midnight Sunday 30 August 10.00 am to 6.00 pm The full programme will be revealed gradually.
