Consoles & Cardboard

Video games and tabletop games based in the Optimism Brewery.
Sometimes TTRPGs or story games.

What we'll bring:
- A modest rotating board game library, courtesy of Daniel
- An AV setup, including:
---- Projector + Screen + Audio
---- Nintendo Switch + 4 Pro Controllers + Multiplayer Library
---- Steam Link + 4 Steam Controllers
---- Wifi + LAN setup (limited/no internet)
---- HDMI hookups for other systems
---- Various cables and adapters
---- This list may expand over time, so check back!
- If you have any specific requests for the rotating board/video game library, feel free to start a discussion or leave a comment

What you can bring:
- Any board/tabletop games you'd like to play
- Any TTRPGs you're willing to run ad-hoc
- Other consoles/laptops to hook up to the projector
- Outside food
- Nothing at all, if you like

Where we'll be:
- The back right corner by the stairs + grain
- However, setup in Optimism is a bit ad-hoc, so we may have to relocate a bit
- It should be easy to find us by the projector setup or the black + yellow bins
- Signage is planned, but not yet implemented

Getting here:
- There is paid parking nearby on Seneca and Boyleston
- Best bet for free parking is probably First Hill. All street parking is free on Sundays
- There is a Link Light Rail station nearby, and may allow you to avoid traffic https://www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/stations/link-light-rail-stations
- The Seattle Streetcar is also nearby https://seattlestreetcar.org/how-to-ride/first-hill-line/
- The #2 bus goes up the hill from downtown

Food:
- Optimism only makes/serves beer, a single unlisted cider (locally produced), sparkling water, and regular water. No food.
- There is a rotating food truck parked in the loading bay https://optimismbrewing.com/food-trucks/
- There are plenty of food options nearby, and it is allowed inside. We will have a list of nearby food places available

A few notes:
- Long boardgames will usually be started toward the start of the event
- Many different video games are usually played throughout the night, cycling every 10-30 minutes unless we start something longer like Moonhunters
- TTRPGs tend to be organized in advance, with the exception of occasional ad-hoc one-shots
- Storygames tend to be run ad-hoc if there's enough interest at the time
