Bigger Moves, Higher Stakes in High Stakes 2026
This September, we're kicking off the festivities by gathering the tabletop community together as Ayala Malls Market! Market! celebrates its 22nd anniversary. With a bigger space at an iconic venue, get to play your favorite titles from party games with your friends to challenging strategic duels.
If you’ve been following pop culture lately, you know that the Market! Market! Activity Center has become the ultimate launching pad for global icons. Artists like Katseye, BINI, and SB19 all hit the same stage as they blew up globally. Some would say making it into that exact Activity Center means you’ve officially hit the big league. While we’re not exactly artists, we’re people who appreciated the art of connecting with people through play so as we take over this legendary stage…we’re saying that Gaming Library has made it!
We’re leveling up the entire floor with MORE tables, a bigger game space, and endless opportunities to show off your skills with your tabletop buddies at High Stakes on September 4 – 6, 2026!
