Giocaselle

Giocaselle, the board game festival in Caselle Torinese

Giocaselle is the event dedicated to board games held in Caselle Torinese, a town in the Turin Metropolitan City in Piedmont. The event was created to promote board gaming as an opportunity for meeting, socializing, and having fun, away from screens and in direct contact with people. Now in its third edition in 2026, it has become a staple in the local calendar.

Who organizes the event

Giocaselle is promoted by the non-profit gaming association La Taverna dei Meeple, a group that brings together players of all ages every week. The event enjoys the patronage of the Municipality of Caselle Torinese and benefits from the collaboration of the Pro Loco, which manages the refreshment area during the two days. This teamwork firmly roots the initiative in the local community.

What to do at Giocaselle

For an entire weekend, the venue transforms into a large gaming space with dozens of tables available. Visitors can play from morning to evening, rely on the game lending service, and try out titles for every level of experience, from the simplest to the most challenging strategy games. Recurring features include:

• Tournaments open to the public, including the Ticket to Ride tournament organized by the Ticket To Turin association;
• the presence of the Caselle chess club;
• the opportunity to try the latest releases in the sector presented at major Italian gaming fairs;
• the participation of guests and authors from the board game world.

An event for all ages

Giocaselle is designed for families, children, teenagers, and expert enthusiasts. Free admission and a welcoming atmosphere make it an ideal occasion to discover modern board games or to rediscover your passion in good company.
