Singapore’s largest competitive board game carnival closes its three-day run today, and if you haven’t been yet, there may still be time to make it to Pico Creative Centre for the final sessions of WSBG Asia 2026.
Asia’s Biggest Board Game Championship, Right Here in Singapore
WSBG Asia is the official Asia satellite of the World Series of Board Gaming (WSBG), backed by the Singapore Tourism Board. Building on its inaugural 2025 edition, the 2026 event is significantly larger — more championship titles, a bigger game library, and an experience that literally takes place on the Singapore Flyer.
The event spans three zones: competitive tournament brackets, a sprawling Carnival Zone, and exclusive social game experiences, making it accessible to everyone from first-timers to seasoned competitive players.
Compete for a Seat at the Vegas Global Final
This is where the stakes get real. WSBG Asia 2026 runs official tournaments across 16 championship titles. Every Asia Champion walks away with a Global Ticket — a first-round bye at the WSBG Global Final in Las Vegas. The overall grand champion also takes home a SGD $1,000 flight sponsorship to make the trip.
Brackets run across Phoenix Games and Asian Playoffs formats. If your game of choice is sold out, waitlist slots can be applied for at thejokergame.com/wsbg-waitlist.
The Carnival Zone — 250+ Games for Everyone
Not here to compete? The Carnival Zone is a library of over 250 board games, open to Carnival ticket holders. It’s a space built for exploring, demoing, and casual play — with scheduled workshops running throughout the weekend:
- Intro to Tabletop Gaming
- Becoming a Game Master
- How to Design Your Own Board Game
Social game experiences on offer include Blood on the Clocktower, Joker Game Experience, The Hero Is Dead, and Murder Mystery of The Dead — familiar names to anyone in Singapore’s tabletop scene.
Celebrity Lineup — Including The Devil’s Plan’s Tino
WSBG Asia 2026 has put together a pan-Asian creator lineup that bridges competitive gaming and tabletop culture:
- Dr. huoshu — Tsinghua PhD, strategy icon, and brain-show TV star with over 5 million followers
- Xiao Cang — esports veteran and the iconic Mandarin voice of League of Legends, with over 7 million followers
- Tino — familiar to Singapore fans of Netflix’s The Devil’s Plan, and a board game YouTuber with 42K followers
- Jiaqi Lin — China’s number-one board game content creator with 3 million followers
The World’s Highest Board Game Match — On the Singapore Flyer
The VIP Skyline Challenge is the event’s signature set piece. A featured board game match is played by invited guests and celebrities inside a Singapore Flyer capsule — billed as the world’s highest rotating board game showcase. VIP ticket holders get a dedicated viewing window, premium hospitality, priority access to guest interactions, and an exclusive commemorative gift pack.
