What we’re about
Welcome to Melbourne Meeples! We are an incorporated not-for-profit board game group that hosts events all across Melbourne.
Whether you have never played before or you have been playing board games for years, we have something for you! We welcome everyone to our friendly board game meetups, where our community embraces individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. Melbourne Meeples promotes an LGBTQIA+ and disability inclusive environment where everyone can feel comfortable and valued.
We host both regular meetups as well as annual conventions and once off events.
We look forward to playing with you!

See all- NSEG - Northern Suburbs EurogamersThe Croxton, Thornbury, VI
The Northern Suburbs Eurogamers (NSEG) is a regular meetup held at Croxton Park Hotel on selected Sundays (view the current year dates below).
Running since 2012, NSEG is an established group, but we always love playing with new people.
### Where do we play?
The meetup is held at Croxton Park Hotel.
We meet in the Bistro, just near the fireplace, so it’s lovely and warm.
### What sort of games do we play?
We play:
- Games for beginners (which we call gateway games) like Ticket To Ride, Carcassonne, Splendour, Small World and King of Tokyo.
- Strategy (Euro) games like Power Grid, Lords of Waterdeep, Village, Imperial and Suburbia.
- Thematic games (that involve lots of dice and role play) like Betrayal at House on the Hill and Dead of Winter.
- Party Games (quick and easy games) like Resistance, Spyfall and Time’s Up.
- Card Games like Love Letter, Uno, Fluxx, Bohanza, Red7, Fuji Flush, Munchkin.
And much much more! If you have a game you love, bring it along and show us… maybe we’ve never heard of it and will love it too!
We do a rules explanation before each game (unless everyone has played it before) so don’t worry if you’ve never played (or heard) of any of these games.### How about food and Drinks?
The Croxton’s kitchen has all the pub classics and tasty little bites… check out the Menu.
The bar also serves drinks, both soft and hard… plus tea and coffee.### Do I have to be a Melbourne Meeples Inc. Member to attend?
No, though if you are not a member, we do ask that you pay a small donation (we suggest $3) to help cover the cost of the games library and the Melbourne Meeples Inc support structure.
And you can always become a member!### How to get there
