All Aboard Expo 2026 will return to the Quezon City M.I.C.E. Center from 28 to 31 May 2026, with organisers planning a larger-scale edition following its debut last year.

The inaugural 2025 event drew more than 10,000 attendees, including players, families, educators, designers and publishers, establishing it as the largest tabletop gaming convention in Southeast Asia.

For its 2026 edition, organisers are expanding both programming and floor space. Highlights include a wider slate of competitive tournaments featuring popular titles such as Unmatched, Ashes: Ascendancy and Harmonies, alongside an extended “Battle Pass” format offering additional challenges and collectible rewards.

The show will also serve as a launch platform for new and localised board games, including Modern Art PH, Sinigang and Kalikasan, with organisers indicating the possibility of multiple world premieres during the four-day event.

More than 100 board games are expected to be available for public play across exhibitor booths and dedicated library spaces. Retail activations will include limited-edition promotional cards and tiles, as well as exclusive discounts.

International participation is set to increase, with invited guests including Tom Vasel, Maeva da Silva and Rob Daviau, alongside a broader mix of global publishers.

Organisers said the 2026 edition will also introduce larger community zones aimed at families, content creators and first-time players, reflecting efforts to widen the event’s appeal beyond core hobbyists.

All Aboard Expo 2026 is positioned as a key platform for the region’s growing tabletop gaming ecosystem, combining consumer engagement, product launches and industry networking in one event.
