PAX Australia has revealed what it’s calling its “biggest tabletop lineup yet,” with the eBay Tabletop Hall returning for 2026 and featuring trading card games, tabletop RPGs, board games, collectables, and more.
A new thing coming as part of eBay Australia returning to PAX AUS this year is its expanded presence on the floor and throughout the show with ‘The Collector’s Club Studio,’ which is bringing eBay live from PAX Australia throughout the event. You’ll be able to watch live streams, meet special guests at the show, take part in a Collectors Club Card, and complete challenges to earn yourself prizes.
The expanded tabletop hall will feature exhibitors including Let’s Play Games, Modern Brands, Asmodee, Bandai Card Games, Wizards of the Coast and more. Magic: The Gathering will have a big focus again this year, with a focus on its newest set, Reality Fracture, and the ability to learn to play, meet artists, and take part in Commander events.
Magic: The Gathering returns with a major presence focused on its newest set, ‘Reality Fracture’, alongside Learn to Play sessions, special play events, guest artists, meet-and-greets and a live Commander Showdown taking place on Saturday, October 10. Dungeons & Dragons will also feature a dedicated retail area with the latest books and accessories.
PAX AUS attendees can also try Riftbound: League of Legends, Disney Lorcana, One Piece Card Game, Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World, Digimon Card Game, Gundam Card Game, Flesh and Blood, Cyberpunk CCG, and a range of new tabletop releases throughout the weekend.
New titles include LEGO NINJAGO, K-Pop Demon Hunters: Battle for the Spotlight and the horror card game Hellbreak, while Australian game designers Jay Bendixen, Ryan Boucher, Natalie Delaney-John and Cam Jasson will appear for special designer sessions.
Publisher CHAOSIUM known for Pendragon, RuneQuest, and Call of Cthulhu, among others will also be at the Tabletop Hall. The publisher will be hosting learn-to-play sessions for their games across PAX, but it’s reccomended you book sessions as they last two-hours and are expected to fill up fast. The new game from CHAOSIUM, Horror on the Orient Express will also be available for the first time at PAX Australia. In this game you’re boarded on the Orient as it travels through the ‘Dreamlands,’ and you must uncover which members are part of a secret cult before it reaches its destination.
PAX Aus 2026 takes place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center from October 9–11.
