What is Euro Games Fest?

EGF Melbourne has been running for many years and now in a new location. We pride ourselves as a full day outing for any gamers wishing to find others who enjoy their passion. Whilst the name suggests Euro games, our play is not restricted to this genre with many wargamers, ameritrash fans, role players and others regularly attending.

Do I need to bring my own games ?

The club has a collection of games including titles such as 7 Wonders, Alhambra, Ra, Puerto Rico, El Grande, Wars of the Roses, Medici, Settlers of Catan, Loopin Louie, Chinatown, Tichu, No Merci, Mystery Express, Antike, I'm the Boss, Tigris & Euphrates, Acquire, Terra Nova, Oltre Mare, Wrott & Swindlers, Bluff, Cash & Guns, Lord of the Rings, Drunter & Druber, Undercover, Kingdom Quest, Stone Age, Amun Re, Cleopatra & the Society of Architects, Power Grid, Ticket to Ride: Europe. Bring your own games or join in others.

But I don't know any Eurogames !

Most games include someone who has not played the game before, so there is always someone new at the table for every game.

Who's coming ?

About 10-15 over and above those who RSVP through this meetup will be in attendance.

How to get there !

Plenty of parking available on site, obey the parking signs.
150m from Mt Waverley Railway station.

would have loved to have learnt Alien Frontiers, but the scheduling meant I learnt 7 wonders instead .......... King of Tokyo, my 6 year old loves playing that game.
Considering what people had in their bags, e.g Eclipse, seems time is the limiting factor, not diversity or the opportunity to learn something new.

  This is what I like, people eager to learn. My game count for the year is 131 distinct games of which about 85 are new. Only so much time, we can't play everything.

  Thanks to you and Lorenzo for having the patience to teach us Nuns on the Run. It had been on my play list for a while. You guys seemed to have a blast getting Nuns on The Run, Alien Frontiers and King of Tokyo to the table proving just about anything goes.

Fantastic rollup, 20+ people, 19 different games made it to the table. I can strike Nuns on the Run off my list to play.

  No specific games are planned beyond people voicing strong opinions to [play | not play] a particular game. Pretty much anything goes. Most games are teaching games with someone new to a game, even myself in that category playing 5-10 new games a month or more. That's all part of the fun.
