Zulu's Board Game Cafe - Lynnwood
One Year Anniversary
Convention

We can hardly believe it — Zulu’s Board Game Café - Lynnwood is turning ONE! What a journey it’s been, and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing community that gathered around our tables over the past year. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or you’re just hearing about us now, we invite YOU to come celebrate with us.

To mark the occasion, we’ve partnered with Evergreen Tabletop Expo (ETX) to bring together ZTX (Zulu’s Lynnwood Tabletop Expo)- a mini-convention! This isn’t just a party — it’s a full weekend of indie tabletop gaming, local artist showcases, learn-to-play sessions, TCG tournaments, group board game challenges, live music concert, and tons of raffle prizes. Hold your meeples and stay tuned - the best is yet to come.
