Ides of Gaming is Tucson’s Game Day!

This free event is family-friendly and open to all. Bring your favorite game, that game that you have been wanting to play, or try out a game from our library! If you are interested in board games, card games, family games, or roleplaying games, drop on by, make some friends, and have fun! You might even win a new game to take home!

Ides of Gaming is held on the third Saturday of the month in the upstairs community room at Espresso Art, just a block from the University of Arizona campus.

The Next Ides of Gaming is July 20th!

The event always takes place on the third Saturday of the month from noon until six, in Espresso Art’s upstairs community room.

The coffeehouse offers an excellent selection of coffee, tea, and snacks. Hungry for more? More than a dozen restaurants are within walking distance of the event which means gamers are never without a good meal to fuel the fun.

Parking is free on Saturdays along the street and in the nearby parking lots and garages, but come early for a good spot! Note that while the Tyndall Parking Garage (one block south) may be charging to park if the University of Arizona has a special event occurring the same weekend as Ides of Gaming, the Main Gate Garage (one block north) usually doesn’t.

Mark your calendar!

Helping the Community

Ides of Gaming is just one of the many community events Southern Arizona Gamers Association (SAGA) hosts. SAGA believes in the positive influence gaming provides to the greater community: fellowship, intellectual growth, and family-friendly entertainment. SAGA is a non-profit organization that believes in supporting and educating our community about the benefits of family gaming. Ides of Gaming, and other SAGA events, are supported by charitable donations from publishing companies in the hobby games industry, local business, and gamers like you. If you would like to support SAGA by providing volunteering to run or organize events, by donating your old games to the game library, or by giving some tax-deductible financial support, please contact us today!

Many of the members who attend our game events are published game authors, hobby games industry insiders, working professionals, and accomplished students.
