Oakland Game Night! [Pre-GDC Showcase]

Details

Get ready for a fun fueled night of games and laughter at our first ever Oakland Game Night!

The Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco is nearly here! To celebrate the immense talent across the Bay Area, East Bay Game Devs & Creatives will be hosting an in-person games showcase featuring games from local indie developers.

We'll also have all the classic board games and cards games as well as some new hits. Oh and we'll have free pizza!!

This event is in partnership with AfroComicCon, the East Bay's annual celebration of comics, art media, technology, and culture.

We'll also be featuring exhibits from The Museum of Art & Digital Entertainment, Oakland's interactive video game museum focused on preservation of interactive history.

Thanks to co-organizer Jabari Alii, we've secured Uptown Station, an incredible event space at the corner of 20th & Broadway. The entrance is at 1955 Broadway, look for East Bay Game Devs signs to get checked in.

The best way to get to get there is by taking BART to the 19th St Station, which is right next to the venue. Your next best option is Lyft/Uber, since parking nearby is limited.

Attendance is capped and you must RSVP to attend!
