It depends on the type of game, but the biggest game fair is Essen Spiel in Germany. The biggest in the U.S. is Gen Con in Indianapolis, IN. There is also Origins, PAX, PAX East, and Chicago Toy and Game Fair (the latter is usually for very light kids/mass market games). For industry-only shows, New York Toy Fair is very large, plus a handful of small game fairs such as GAMA Trade Show and various distributor open houses.

Hey, welcome to the board game world—super exciting! For promoting your game to gamers, the absolute best spots are massive cons like SPIEL Essen in Germany (world's biggest, 200k+ attendees, perfect for demos and sales) and Gen Con in the US (huge exhibit halls, playtesting heaven). Smaller ones like UK Games Expo or BGG.CON are gold for networking too. Locally, host free demo nights at game cafes or run tournaments—gamers love competing and trying new stuff! What's your game about? I'd hit up Essen if you're indie—launched mine there last year and it exploded. Good luck! google baseball
