Our story

BasGame is a fun and welcoming board game event held every year in Basel. It's now the largest board game gathering in Northwestern Switzerland, bringing together hundreds of board game lovers from Switzerland and beyond. With support from top game publishers, we offer a fantastic selection of board games - there's something for everyone!

At the heart of BasGame is our non-profit association. Our awesome team of volunteers puts in a lot of love and effort to make this event happen. Right now, we have a core team of 15 passionate people, plus many more fantastic helpers who keep things running smoothly and make everything possible.

How it started

BasGame was founded by Rubén Cabezón and Hirginia Vallejo in 2013, with the vision of creating a platform to share the virtues of playing board games and a space where board game enthusiasts could come together to play, learn, and connect.

The first edition debuted in 2014 as a small gathering of passionate gamers, but it quickly gained momentum. Year after year, more players joined, more games were played, and the community flourished bringing together hundreds of players, designers, and publishers for a day filled with strategy, fun, and unforgettable moments.
