About

GameSync San Diego, May 30th. $10 entry. The GameSync Monthly Open is the wildcard slot on the monthly calendar — not dedicated to a single title but open to the competitive games the community actually plays that month. The format is the point: show up, see what's running, and find your bracket.

Monthly Opens at GameSync are where the competitive community across multiple titles shares one venue and one evening. The fighting game players, the card game community, the platform fighter bracket — everyone is in the building, which creates the specific energy of a game store tournament night where you can wander from setup to setup and catch someone's incredible run in a game you've been meaning to try.

$10 entry. May 30th. gamesync.us for the full title list and bracket format. The Monthly Open is the game night that doesn't require planning — just show up, find out what's running, and get in. The San Diego competitive gaming scene is real and this is one of the nights where it's all in one room.

Triton Gaming Expo 2026

Tomorrow · May 30 Price Center, UCSD, 9500 Gilman Dr…

The Triton Gaming Expo at UCSD's Price Center exists because students wanted it to exist. That is the entire origin story — no corporate sponsor, no outside promoter, no venue deal negotiated through a regional events company. A gaming expo organized by people who go to school here, for an audience that actually plays. That is what makes it feel different from the moment you walk in. May 30, 2026 at Price Center, UCSD, La Jolla. Tabletop gaming rooms running open play from the time doors open. Video game setups from current-gen to deep retro. Tournaments with real brackets across multiple titles. The specific atmosphere that exists when a room is organized by people who genuinely care about what they are running — no sponsorship banners every twelve feet, no activation booths, just games and an audience that came to play. Price Center's open layout puts you steps from the coast in La Jolla in late May, which is as good as San Diego gets. If you are in the county and anywhere near the hobby, this is worth your Saturday. One of the best game rooms in San Diego, built for one day. Organized by Triton Gaming at UCSD.

Pokemon TCG Regional Championship — San Diego

Tomorrow · May 30 – May 31 San Diego Convention Center, 111 W…

San Diego Convention Center, May 30th. The Pokémon TCG Regional Championship — Masters division at the top of the bracket, open age divisions running throughout, and a room that understands what competitive Pokémon actually looks like up close. Regionals draws players from across the Southwest who have been testing this format since the last set dropped. The level of play at the top tables is worth watching even if you're not registered — decks built around specific counters, plays made in the final minutes of a round that determine travel points and World Championship invites. The side event area runs all day for players who dropped from the main or just want reps in the room. Judges in official regalia move through the aisles with practiced calm. There's a specific atmosphere to a TCG Regional: binders and sleeves and the particular tension of a timed round winding down at a critical board state. If you play, register at rk9.gg. If you don't play and want to understand why this game still fills convention halls, come watch the top tables during Day 2. The Pokémon Regional is the proof.

Anime Riverside 2026

The Riverside Convention Center hands itself over to anime for the weekend of May 30-31, 2026. Two days, 250-plus vendors and artists, and dozens of guest voice actors including Sean Schemmel, Johnny Yong Bosch, Brianna Knickerbocker, and Kaiji Tang among the confirmed lineup. Professional Anime Wrestling -- which is exactly what it sounds like -- runs alongside a cosplay contest, karaoke lounge, and a free arcade room open all weekend. Now in its fifth year, Anime Riverside has grown from a local idea into one of the most accessible anime conventions in the Inland Empire -- close enough for a day trip from San Diego, Orange County, or Los Angeles without the scale and cost of Anime Expo. The Riverside Convention Center is at 3637 5th Street, Riverside, CA 92501, near downtown Riverside and accessible via the Metrolink 91/Perris Valley Line (Riverside Downtown Station is a short walk away). Parking is available on-site and in surrounding garages. Single-day and weekend badges are available at animeriverside.com. Cosplay is welcome and celebrated throughout both days.

Board Game Night — Meeples Games SD

Tomorrow · May 30 Free / $5 game rental Meeples Games, 3821 Ray St, San Di…

Meeples Games in North Park holds open board game night on a regular schedule, and the library is the reason people keep coming back. Thousands of titles on the shelves — heavier strategy games, light party fillers, cooperative games, dexterity games, deck builders, tile layers, hidden role games — with staff who have played most of them and will hand you something appropriate based on how many people you have and how much time you want to commit. You can bring your own game, or you can walk in with nothing and walk out having played something you'd never heard of before tonight. Both outcomes happen regularly and both are the point. The tables are large and well-lit. The coffee runs all night. The crowd is a mix of regular groups and solo players who got folded into someone else's table by the time the evening was done. Meeples Games is at 3821 Ray St, San Diego. meeplesgamessd.com for hours and event schedule. No entry fee to play from the library. This is what a neighborhood game store does when it takes its community seriously: keeps the lights on, keeps the shelves stocked, and trusts that the right people will find it.

GameStar Hobbies, 27380 Jefferson Ave, Temecula. June 4th and every week. The D&D Adventurers League at GameStar — the ongoing organized play program that opens a seat at the table to anyone who walks through the door, whether you've been playing for twenty years or have never rolled a d20 in your life. Adventurers League is the format that removes the biggest barrier to tabletop RPG: finding a group. You don't need to know anyone. You don't need to have a campaign. You bring a character — or build one at the table — and join the session already in progress. The stories accumulate across weeks, the characters grow, and the table at GameStar in Temecula becomes the place you spend Wednesday evenings when you'd rather be in a dungeon. dnd.wizards.com/adventurers-league for character creation and campaign details. June 4th at GameStar Hobbies, and every week after. The Temecula tabletop community is real and welcoming — the kind of table where a first-time player and a veteran share the same session and both find something worth coming back for. Show up. The dungeon is already in there waiting.

D&D Adventurers League — Game Empire SD

Dungeons and Dragons Adventurers League at Game Empire San Diego is organized play for the person who wants to run a character through a real campaign without needing to already know a Dungeon Master or a regular group. You walk in, pick up a pre-generated character sheet or bring your own AL-legal character, and join a table already in progress or at the start of a new adventure. DMs are provided. Dice are available. The only prerequisite is showing up. Adventurers League removes every barrier to tabletop RPG play that isn't already at the table. No group required. No campaign setup required. No years of lore to catch up on. The adventures are designed to run in a single session with a beginning and an end, which means you're never showing up to episode forty of something you missed the start of. You play a complete story. You come back next week if you want to keep going. Game Empire San Diego is at 7052 Miramar Rd, San Diego. gameempire.com for the weekly schedule and table availability. Character creation guidelines at dnd.wizards.com/adventurers-league. New players are not just tolerated here — this format was designed for them.

Pokemon TCG Friday Night Draft — TCS Rockets

In 6 days · Jun 4 7626 Miramar Rd Suite 3900, San Di…

Pokemon TCG draft night at TCS Rockets is the Friday format that resets the playing field. You don't bring your tournament deck. You don't need one. The draft format builds your pool from packs opened at the table — everyone gets the same number of packs, you draft the cards in real time, you build a 40-card deck from what you picked, and you play. Your constructed collection doesn't matter. Your ability to read signals and build under pressure does. TCS Rockets runs these every Friday, which means the table is a mix: the longtime competitive players who use draft to stay sharp, the newer players who find the format more accessible than Standard, and the people who just like cracking packs with other people who know what they're looking at. The energy is competitive but not grim. The Friday crowd is the friendliest version of this game. TCS Rockets is at 7626 Miramar Rd, Suite 3900, San Diego. tcsrockets.com for entry fee and current set details. Prizes for top finishers. Show up ready to draft.
