Nashville Tabletop Day is a celebration of board gaming in Middle Tennessee. Nashville Tabletop Day brings together people from all over Nashville and the Southeast to game and have fun in a safe, inviting environment.

Meeple Mountain is thrilled to partner with Trevecca Nazarene University to bring Nashville Tabletop Day back for a 5th year.

Help Support Nashville Tabletop Day!

Nashville Tabletop Day has been 100% free to attendees from day one, and we’re committed to that vision. However running an event of this magnitude takes time and money. If board gaming makes you happy, and you enjoy Nashville Tabletop Day or other events put on by Meeple Mountain, please consider making a donation to help us continue these important events.









You can also support us by purchasing one of the T-shirts we’ll have available at this year’s event. Anyone preordering a shirt is guaranteed to receive one. But only a limited number of additional shirts will be available at the event, so don’t wait.

Privacy Policy

Meeple Mountain is the sole owner of the information we collect. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization.

Code of Conduct

Meeple Mountain is dedicated to providing a harassment-free and inclusive experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, gender identity or religion. Therefore, we do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Please familiarize yourself with our definition of harassment, and what we expect of attendees.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If you, as an attendee, feel harassed, you may inform the offender that you would like the harassing behavior to stop immediately. If you are not comfortable doing this, you may contact a staff member who will address the concern.

If you, as an attendee, are asked to stop behaving in a way that is interpreted as harassment, you are expected to stop, immediately. Arguing about the situation or trying to convince someone that your behavior is not harassment will not get you anywhere. Just stop. If you disagree that your behavior is harassment, that is fine, but the behavior should stop anyway.

If anyone engages in harassing behavior, organizers may take any action they, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion.

Staff will be happy to provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.

Staff members will be posted at the library and play to win tables, as well as the registration desk, and can be identified by their shirt color (exact color to be defined before each event).
