Northern Suburbs Euro Gamers

Join NSEG (Northern Suburbs Eurogamers) for an afternoon of board and card games of every style at the Stolberg Beer Café in Preston (corner of Bell St and Plenty Rd).

We’ll be playing in one of the function rooms, ask at the bar if you can't spot us and they’ll be able to point us out.

What sort of games do we play? We have:

• 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, Munchkin.

• And much much more! And if you love a game, 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… we welcome new players!

So its time for the Annual General Meeting of Melbourne Meeples.

The AGM will be held at the Stolberg Beer Cafe (cnr Bell St and Plenty Rd, Preston) from midday on August 9.
