For those of you who don’t know what International TableTop Day (ITTD) is and/or want to know some of the special promotional stuff you might win in these ITTD events, you can refer to this recent article of ours to find out more. This guide will be focusing on what some of the major Tabletop places have planned for tomorrow so you can sign up for their events… or make a Boardgame cafe pilgrimage tomorrow and visit them all! 😛
