Show co-organizers ReedPop and Penny Arcade reveal PAX Unplugged Houston, the fifth in their series of annual international PAX expos, and the second tabletop-focused Unplugged event. The new showcase debuts at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, from Friday, June 25, through Sunday, June 27, 2027. Badges go on sale later this year.

PAX Unplugged Houston will provide a second destination for card and board gaming enthusiasts to celebrate their shared passions. The show will host a massive expo floor featuring the biggest exhibitors in analog gaming, panels with industry experts and content creators, tournaments, community meetups, and other activities to bring the PAX community together. Further details will be revealed in the lead-up to the event.

“Whenever we get done with PAX Unplugged out in Philly, I just want to rewind time and do it all again,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of PAX, Penny Arcade and Child’s Play Charity. “This is the next best thing. And it’ll be great to see our old friends from down that way.”

Badges for PAX Unplugged Houston go on sale later this year. Applications for media and content creators will also open before the end of the year.
