About Salem Game Guild
Salem Game Guild (SaGa Guild) is a 501(c)(3) formed by local gamers to build a welcoming tabletop community on the North Shore. It held the first SaGa Con at Salem State University in July 2026 and runs meetups, game demos and tournaments for board games and tabletop role-playing games.
Games to Buy and Games to Try
The Guild’s booth sells board games from local designers on consignment, with proceeds supporting the nonprofit. Behind the sales tent, open demo tables let visitors sit down, learn a game in a few minutes and play before deciding to take one home. Kids and first-time players are welcome.
