Steam & Iron Convention 2026: Fantastic Game Worlds in Mindelheim
On September 26 and 27, 2026, the Steam & Iron Convention transforms the Forum Mindelheim into a meeting point for board game fans, role-playing groups, tabletop strategists, and lovers of fantasy, science fiction, dieselpunk, steampunk, and gothic. The two-day multi-day experience combines games, workshops, cosplay, miniatures, and a creative community atmosphere.
Between Dice, Miniatures, and Great Stories
The convention's line-up brings together authors, gaming groups, small publishers, and traders. Visitors discover new board and strategy games, delve into role-playing scenarios, and experience tabletop demo games with lovingly crafted miniatures. The main areas of the forum serve as the stage for encounters, trial rounds, and discussions about the diverse gaming culture.
Creative Program for Model Building and Fantasy Fans
3D printing, modeling courses, and painting courses make the Steam & Iron Convention an experience for everyone wanting to create their own game worlds. The miniatures exhibition showcases the technical precision of the hobby as well as the artistic passion of the community. Props, clothing, and dieselpunk accessories enhance the exhibition and create an atmospheric backdrop.
Cosplay, Photo Corner, and Costume Contest
Costumes are explicitly welcome: whether dieselpunk pilot, astronaut, ork, or dark elf – the convention opens space for imaginative characters. Costumed mascots help bring together gaming groups, while a photo corner with props captures special memories. On Saturday evening, an award ceremony is planned for the most beautiful costumes and the most diligent playtesters.
Family-Friendly Festival Feel at Forum Mindelheim
A dedicated play area for families with children makes the event intergenerational. Drinks and snacks will be available on-site; additionally, a list of delivery services for hot food is provided. Food and drinks brought along may also be consumed. This creates a relaxed community feeling, appealing to newcomers as well as experienced role-playing and tabletop groups.
