[Mar] Cafe Games: Big Saturday Boardgames Day AND ... Watching the Tournaments!!

Come learn & play fun board games while socialising!

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/0/e/2/event_168364322.jpegFriends welcome! Over-competitive types need not apply. The idea is light-hearted interaction over some drinks and games.

"Eat, drink and be merry!"

Join us in a relaxed cafe PUB! environment, where food and drink are in plentiful supply as we amuse ourselves with weird and wonderful games.

GOLD COIN donation appreciated - helps with costs.

VENUE: This venue can cope with more than 100 people, so space is not a problem!!

Don't expect serious hard-core strategy games, it's usually more social games like Pictionary, Cranium, Jenga, Cluedo or Trivial Pursuit, or even card games like Uno, Bang! or 500 :-)
If you've never played these games before, we're more than happy to show you how.

Yes, I expect some people will bring more strategic "Euro" games (https://www.meetup.com/Boardgames-group-party-and-strategy-games/pages/Euro_Games_%3F_What_are_they_%3F) ... that's fine, there will be something for everyone.

NOTE: Because this venue doesn't have its own games, PLEASE bring along any games you can, even if it's just a deck of cards (available Coles, Safeway, Petrol stations ...etc)

Yes I will be bringing along some games, but this sort of event works best when everyone helps out.

A good rule of thumb is picking games that last no longer than an hour. Sure, feel free to settle down for a 5 hour game of Monopoly or Risk, but people enjoy moving around the group. If you're uncertain about a game, just bring it and see if anyone's keen.

Starts: 12 midday or whenever you roll in.
Finishes: 11pm

Pay: for food, drink as you go. (This is a restaurant, not your mate's garage, so I should not need to spell out that it's inappropriate to bring your own food and drink)
