Fortress Melbourne

Every Friday | 6PM - Late | Free Entry
🎉 The ultimate weekly hangout for Magic players - new and experienced alike.

Unleash your inner planeswalker at Mana on Tap, a free weekly Magic: The Gathering event hosted in Fortress’s Arena. Whether you’re a seasoned spell-slinger or brand new to the game, join us every Friday night from 6 PM to Late for games, drinks, and good vibes with fellow Magic fans.

### Learn to Play

Just picked up your first deck? Want to learn the ropes? Borrow a starter deck for free at Fortress and join a casual Learn to Play session hosted by friendly game guides. Meet fellow new players, pick up tips, and duel in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

### Play Your Way

Casual, competitive, or something in between, all formats are welcome (though most people play Commander). Whether you’re into Commander, Pauper, Standard, or Modern, there’s a seat at the table for you. Bring your deck or borrow one, and play at your own pace.

### Commander Conclave

Our spacious Arena is perfect for Commander Night. Dive into multiplayer games, meet fellow enthusiasts, and enjoy stellar lighting, comfy seating, and easy access to food and drink from our full-service bar. Order via buzzer and get back to the action faster.

### The Venue

Held in The Arena at Fortress, enjoy plenty of space, low-volume ambience, and on-tap beverages while you play. Stay fueled with food and drinks delivered straight to your table - no need to pause the game.
