KakiTabletop
Started as a community-building effort that started 10* years ago, it has evolved from merely bringing together Dungeons & Dragons players from all over Malaysia, to include Magic: the Gathering, designer board games, miniature wargamers, and more… Today, the network of communities encompasses practically every major game and genre of tabletop gaming in Malaysia!
After focusing on hosting monthly meetups for the last 2 years, we’re proud to bring everyone together for this one-of-a-kind annual event in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. 💎 We started small, got interupted by a pandemic, virtually celebrated gaming, kicked-off a regular series of meetups for the last two years… culminating in our biggest event yet: ITTDMY International TableTop Day Malaysia 2024!
