The ongoing purpose of the Train Gamers Association (TGA) is to facilitate and promote the play of train games. We sanction and run Puffing Billy™ Tournaments at large and small conventions throughout the year.
TGA Official Update: May 10, 2021
At this point the TGA is NOT PLANNING to be at either Origins or Gen Con this fall. We expect to return with our usual presence at both cons in 2022! Depending on developing circumstances, there is some chance we will add a limited schedule at one of the fall conventions at a later date, but you should not plan on that. We remain optimistic that Railcon will run this October as scheduled, but of course we continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 situation and related restrictions that may affect how we run the tournament.
Chattanooga Rail Gaming Challenge
The 2021 Rail Gaming Challenge has been cancelled due to Coronavirus concerns. Hopefully we'll be back on in 2022.
