Bio, inventory, and participation history shown here are examples only.
Once the map is connected, a table will show its assigned vendor’s public alias, approved bio, inventory, and completed-show history. Shared tables can show both vendor profiles. Legal names, mailing addresses, and payment information will remain private.
Participation badges will use attended shows, not bookings or purchases. Badge names and thresholds are still to be decided.

FROM OUR FAMILY TO THE TCG COMMUNITY
A love for cards. A place to belong.
The Peli comes from the same family behind Game Town in Covington, and we built it for the people who make this hobby special.
Whether you’re chasing a favorite card, setting up your first vendor table, competing in a tournament, or bringing your kids to their first show, we want you to feel welcome here. We’re a family-friendly event, and that matters to us just as much as the cards.
We consistently work with other TCG shows in the surrounding area to coordinate dates wherever we can. We don’t want vendors forced to choose between events or our community split across competing weekends. We book months ahead—usually planning the entire year in advance—to give everyone time to prepare.
More tables aren’t always better. We will never sell more than 150 vendor tables at a Peli show. We’d rather build a show that supports our vendors than squeeze in every table the building can hold. Keeping the event thoughtfully sized gives vendors a better opportunity to connect with shoppers without an overcrowded, oversaturated floor.
You’ll usually find me walking around the venue with my beautiful daughter, Willow—my little princess and favorite show companion. If you see us, please say hello! Getting to know the people who come through our doors is one of the best parts of doing this.
Thank you for supporting The Peli, Game Town, and the vendors who help bring these weekends to life. We’re grateful to be part of this community, and we’ll keep working to make each show one you’re glad you came to.
— Zach & the Game Town family
