The Board Game Contest is a seasonal challenge where designers, creators, and board game enthusiasts compete to bring their ideas to life. Each season, one participant wins a free prototype of their game, and at the end of the contest, the Grand Winner will have their game produced!
Tabletop Creator is the ultimate tool for board game designers, providing an intuitive platform to create, prototype, and refine game ideas with ease. Whether you’re an aspiring creator or an experienced designer, our mission is to make board game development accessible to everyone.
We are the company behind this Tabletop Creator Challenge, a contest designed to empower and showcase new talent in the board game industry. By offering free prototyping and a game production for the grand winner, we help creators take their concepts from an idea to a finished product.
Our platform is trusted by thousands of designers worldwide, and we collaborate with board game publishers, manufacturers, and industry professionals to bring innovative game ideas to life.
Anyone aged 18 or older can join. If you’re under 18, you’ll need permission from a parent or guardian.
You can absolutely participate as a team! We don’t mind how many people are involved in your game’s design. What matters most is that you clearly show the creative process and that your idea truly stands out and excites us. Whether you’re solo or part of a group, bring your best game to the table!
No! Your game doesn’t need to be 100% complete. You just need a clear concept, working mechanics, and a prototype idea to showcase in the content you create.

At the end of the year, all seasonal winners will compete for the Grand Prize: A professional production of the grand winner’s game! Our jury will evaluate creativity, mechanics, and potential market appeal.
No! Participation is 100% free. You just need creativity, passion, and a great game idea.
For this summer’s edition the last day to participate is the 31st of August.
