Escape the algorithm. Find your people. Play tabletop games.

3 Josephson St, Fremantle, WA

The home of tabletop gaming in Fremantle

We’re open for tabletop gaming in Fremantle from 11 AM to 9 PM Monday to Saturday, and from 11 AM to 5 PM on Sundays. Come to one of our ticketed events, or just rock up and play whatever you like, whenever you like (we just have to prioritise our events for table space). It’s $10 to play casually, or buy a booster pack.

TCGs

Slap cards on our scheduled TCG nights, join the Tabletop Freo on Wednesdays (they play lots of MTG), or game at your own pace.

Wargames

Purge heretics with Tabletop Freo on Wednesday nights (they play heaps of Kill Team), look out for our weekend events, or play at your own pace.

TTRPGs

Join DND Fremantle for Dungeons & Dragons and other roleplaying games on Mondays and Thursdays, or come and play whenever.

Board games

Play board games with your friends, destroy your archnemesis in Connect 4, or mess with a ouija board — literally whenever we’re open.

Miniature painting

Build and paint plastic soldiers with strangers and realise, a few months later, that they’ve become your best friends. It’s cheaper than therapy.

Events

On top of our regular weekday shenanigans, we run special events on most weekends. These are usually events you need to get tickets for, whether you’re a member or not. Hightide is a blank canvas for tabletop gaming events in Fremantle. If you have a fun idea for an event, reach out via carrier pigeon.

Featured community: Tabletop Freo

TTF is a tabletop gaming community in Fremantle. They play tabletop games at Hightide three nights a week and do fun events elsewhere — like Roll For It, in Fremantle Town Hall.

How it started

Midway through 2025, a group of runway models converged on a picnic table at Clancy’s to decide if they were insane enough to bring their collective delusion to life. That delusion — that dream — was to build a dedicated home for tabletop gamers in Fremantle. A brick-and-mortar escape from the algorithm. An open stage for stories strange and fantastical. A beacon calling you to the friends you’ve been waiting to meet since you were 12.

As it turns out, they were insane enough.

Whether you’re an Old World elitist, an MTG for-lifer, a board game aficionado, or a shameless D&D shill… whether you’re a once-a-week warrior, a self-ascribed sweaty, or just a little dice-curious… this is your clubhouse, your stomping ground, your home away from home. Come be relentlessly you.
