Designed as a true event within the event, the TCG Gala will bring together all the biggest and most anticipated franchises: Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Star Wars Unlimited, Disney Lorcana, as well as sports cards (NBA, NFL...) and emerging titles such as Rise TCG. With a packed and inclusive program, the Gala blends competition, discovery, and community interaction.

Throughout the festivities, visitors will be able to attend or take part in a wide range of highlights:

• Demonstrations, masterclasses, and beginner sessions, offering opportunities to discover or rediscover gameplay mechanics
• Dedicated areas for collecting, buying, and reselling, featuring rare—even unique—cards, exclusive products and activities, card grading services, and accessories
• Meet-and-greets with illustrators, creators, and influential figures from the TCG scene
• Live box breaks (pack openings) streamed across various platforms

The TCG Gala showcases the complete lifecycle of a trading card—from acquiring it in a store, to protecting it, playing with it, and grading it (encapsulation and scoring).

It’s a gathering of enthusiasts, a long-awaited meeting point for fans to come together and celebrate their shared passion for TCGs.

And every day, visitors can expect spectacular shows, including exclusive reveals, interviews, and rare card openings. By shining a spotlight on a thriving community, the TCG Gala perfectly embodies the spirit of the new Paris Games Week: an event that celebrates all gaming cultures, in all their forms.
