Crit Hit AZ Presents
Tabletop RPG & Board Gaming Convention · Phoenix, Arizona
Who We Are
Crit Hit AZ is Arizona's premier tabletop gaming convention — a two-day celebration of dice, dungeons, boards, and the community that makes them legendary. Since 2016, we've brought together adventurers, strategists, storytellers, and game enthusiasts from across the Southwest.
Whether you're cracking open a new board game, diving into an epic RPG campaign, or browsing indie publishers in the vendor hall, Crit Hit AZ is where your next great story begins.
Programming
Two packed days of tabletop adventure. Grab a badge and dive into any of our open gaming events, tournaments, panels, and more.
Scheduled one-shot and short-campaign adventures across D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Blades in the Dark, and dozens of indie systems — GMs of all experience levels welcome.
Hundreds of titles available in our open gaming library. Pick up and play classics or discover your next obsession, staffed by knowledgeable game ambassadors ready to teach.
Test your skills in competitive events spanning strategy games, eurogames, and head-to-head RPG scenarios. Prizes, bragging rights, and glory await the worthy.
Game design workshops, GMing masterclasses, publisher spotlights, and community panels covering everything from lore-building to accessible design.
Shop from local game stores, indie publishers, artists, and accessory makers. Find limited-edition releases, handcrafted dice, custom minis, and exclusive convention merch.
