AKROJEUX
Akrojeux is a nonprofit leisure club based in Toulouse that has been promoting board games for 18 years. We organize weekly game nights on Tuesdays at Level Up and Fridays at Blastodice, three game weekends per year, and various events such as a board game market and participation in the Alchimie festival. Our goal is to make board gaming accessible to everyone and encourage social connection through play.
Founded 18 years ago by a group of passionate board game enthusiasts, Akrojeux has steadily grown into a staple of Toulouse’s cultural and leisure scene. What began as a small gathering has evolved into a vibrant association that welcomes hundreds of participants each year. Our commitment to the world of tabletop games is rooted in years of volunteer work, partnerships with local venues, and community-driven initiatives. This rich history continues to inspire our activities and shape our role in the local and regional gaming ecosystem.
Our Mission
Akrojeux is a Toulouse-based nonprofit association dedicated to promoting board games as tools for social connection, creativity, and shared joy. We organize accessible and inclusive events that bring people together through play. Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned gamer, our mission is to provide welcoming spaces where games foster community, learning, and laughter. As a non-profit, we reinvest all resources into expanding our reach and improving our events, always guided by our passion for play and collective engagement.
What We Do
Akrojeux promotes the board game culture through regular events, educational activities, and community gatherings. We host two weekly game nights at local venues, organize three major weekend events annually, and participate in regional festivals such as Alchimie. Our events are open to all ages and skill levels. Through our activities, we aim to make games accessible, foster intergenerational exchange, and support the broader gaming community by sharing knowledge, resources, and enthusiasm.
Key Activities
Our key activities include weekly game nights every Tuesday at Level Up and every Friday at Blastodice, where members and newcomers enjoy a wide selection of modern and classic board games. We also organize three weekend-long gaming retreats each year, offering immersive, multi-day play experiences. Additional highlights include our annual board game market and our involvement in major festivals like Alchimie, where we host demo tables and interactive experiences for the public. All our activities are volunteer-led and open to all.
Upcoming Events
Stay tuned for our next Weekend Jeux, where players gather for two full days of uninterrupted gaming! We’re also preparing our presence at the upcoming Festival Alchimie du Jeu, a must-visit event in Toulouse for game lovers.
