“The Unplug Yourself board game parties provide a brilliant scene-setter to what’s in store for visitors to Comic Con Africa later this year. We guarantee that you will be playing with your tribe both at the event and at home afterwards. We pride ourselves in being able to gather friends around tables, whether that’s to immerse themselves in shared stories, or battle it out on the table. From classics like Magic the Gathering to Yu-Gi-Oh!, along with countless other games will be available to play and purchase. Comic Con Africa brings together the suppliers and retailers in tabletop gaming so that you have the best choice of what tabletop gaming has to offer,”
