What is the Chicago Indie Game Showcase (CIGS)?
We are very excited to announce that the Chicago Tabletop Gaming Association is joining our wonderful friends and colleagues from Indie City Games to be included in CIGS 2026 this year!
CIGS is the Chicago Indie Games Showcase that has, until now, focused solely on the creators and designers making independent video games here in Chicago, with CIGS 2025 taking place last year at the Hairpin Arts Studio and having over 700+ attendees!
This year, we are incorporating the tabletop roleplaying and analog game design community to create a Legendary Mashup of Indie Inspiration and Gaming! The tabletop and analog game community will reside on the entire 3rd floor of the Ravenswood Event Center on September 13th from 1pm-8pm, and we'd love it if you would join us! Help us celebrate 12+ of our local analog game designers showcasing their projects, join us for several presentations on game design, and enjoy the artist alley and multiple bars throughout the venue while connecting with creators, players, and enthusiasts from across the gaming spectrum!
They have also been generous enough to give anyone from our community a 15% Discount Code for attending! Just enter the code RollTheDice to receive a discount on admission to this event!
