TooManyGames (formerly East Coast Gaming Expo) is an annual gaming convention that features a used and new game marketplace; gaming artists and crafters; musicians; discussion panels and demonstrations; LARPing; celebrity guests; independent game developer showcase; and console, handheld, PC, tabletop, and arcade gaming areas.[1]

Prior events include a 200+ person LAN organized by The GXL, and the Philly Game Jam organized by the Philadelphia chapter of the International Game Developers Association.

In 2018, TooManyGames added a December charity event, Gifts for Gamers to benefit Philabundance, Philadelphia's local hunger relief organization. In 2019, they added a bi-yearly side event, GameSwap, with a more intimate feel reminiscent of the original TooManyGames events.
