Melbourne Boardgames group (party and strategy games)

Hi everyone, Stella & Tarrant here 😃
It's board game and dinner time every 2nd Wednesdays! Everyone's welcome, new or experienced board gamer. Let's play board games together, meet new friends if you want, and also supporting local restaurant buying their food and drink, coz the event is free.

𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓: Following current government Covid restrictions and rules
𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘: 6pm - 10pm (but the pub is open till later if you want to stay around)
𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧: Meetup for dinner & drink while playing board games.
𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚: Bring your own games or play our growing board games library, teach others or join others games. Also can bring your friends. I'll bring some games for you to play too. Here is the list of our growing games library - https://loom.ly/S5K0J84
𝗙𝗘𝗘: Zero. Nada. It's a casual get together, I'm just helping facilitating the meetup. All I asked is to please order food & drink from the venue, as they are providing the venue for free, help local business 😃
𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗘: Feel free to post in the comment if you have games you want to bring and teach others, try to organise people to play. Or if you want to join other people's game.
𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘: Melbourne Central, level 3. Melbourne Central station underneath.
There are various public carpark Wilson and Secure Parking in the city. My favorite is Wilson at 300 La Trobe Street, across the road from Melbourne Central, and cheaper if you book online prior. Or the Wilson carpark under Melbourne Central.
And then plenty of public transport in the city 🙂

To connect more to fellow board gamers, you can join the Facebook group that started the event here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/WePlayBoardGames

Thank you and hope to see you all then!

What is Euro Games Fest?
EGF Melbourne (http://www.melbournegamers.com/viewtopic.php?f=7) has been running for many years, almost 10 years here. 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, Looping Louie, Tichu, No Merci, Antike, I'm the Boss, Acquire, Terra Nova, Oltre Mare, Wrott & Swindlers, Bluff, Cash & Guns, Drunter & Druber, Undercover, Stone Age, Amun Re, Cleopatra & the Society of Architects, Power Grid, Ticket to Ride: Europe, Ticket to Ride: USA, Ticket to Ride: Marklin, Russian Railroads, Mombasa, Machi Koro, Castles of Burgundy, Bruges, Bora Bora, Trajan, Trans Europa, Trans America, Ysphan, Bombay, Kingdom Builder, Dominion, Hey That's my fish. 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 - No Limits except must be double vaxxed ?

How to get there !
Plenty of parking available on site, obey the parking signs.
150m from Mt Waverley Railway station.

Can I bring my own food and drink ?
Yes, or purchase nearby.

We’re back in 2024! Come play games with us!

This venue is definitely biased towards "euro" style games but any and all games are welcome. Members will bring games that they like. Anything that is fun to play and share is welcome!

Don't have a game, don't worry. We've got a decent selection, but you're always welcome to bring a game if you would like. Never played a board game before or it's been 20 years? No problem, we'd be happy to show you how to play. We love beginners, because we were all beginners at one point.

Life is full of stress, let Monday nights be a fun night. Some of the games our regulars own:

Settlers of Catan
Power Grid
Dead of Winter
Terraforming Mars
Stone Age
Elder Sign
Resistance/Avalon
One Night Werewolf
Hanabi
Race for the Galaxy
King of Tokyo
Puerto Rico
Ticket to Ride Europe
