Japan`s International Gamers Guild founded in 1992 by our spiritual leaders Steve Brown and Kevin a.k.a. greatpowers1, has been Japan's largest and longest running English speaking and bilingual gaming group. Do you live in Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba or the surrounding Kanto area and were looking for a group to play your favorite games? Then the JIGG Tokyo guild is what you have been looking for. We play roleplaying games, boardgames, CCGs (Collectible Card Games, i.e., Magic) historical simulation games (wargames), miniatures games (including historical miniatures and games by Games Workshop), and traditional games like chess. Regular meetings are organized at least once a month. Just bring your favorite board game and there will definitely be someone willing to try it with you.
Are you visiting Tokyo on vacation/business trip and need a game fix? JIGG Tokyo caters also for you, come play board games in Tokyo with us!

JIGGとは、言ってしまえば毎週末に集まってボードゲームをやってるグループです。名前にインターナショナルと付く通り、参加者は海外の方が多いです。と はいえ、日本にお住まいの方々ですから大体日本語はわかりますし、「英語全然しゃべれない！」と心配する必要は無いです。

ゲームデーは、毎週の日曜日に首都圏５か所で開催しています。

是非一度遊びに来て下さい！
