Learn and play Earthborne Rangers, a co-op board game, ALL WEEK in Victoria Park

We invite you to play around & find out* how much fun and solidarity comes from playing together at a table in a beautiful park, forming new social groups and stimulating the mind and imagination. Free and volunteer-powered

In Earthborne Rangers you explore a world with optimistic “solarpunk” themes as you work as a team to succeed together. ER is like Dungeons & Dragons but a nice change from grim dungeon-crawling and disaster-fighting, and has more structure, less improvisation. Learn more about ER here

Lifelong game designer Matthew Ford will teach and play. The first half gives you the general idea. After a short break you can continue into more depth for the next half. You will get invited to events for continued intermediate play

Step 1: RSVP to this event and **fill out the form at this link **to state when you would prefer to play. If none are available, come back in a few days– we do this every week

Step 2: Wait until we send you a message via Meetup and email stating which time slot we booked you into

Step 3: At your time slot, use the "how to find us" section-- please read it carefully, don't just put destination into a map app. Look for Matthew in a blue hat and gray beard

Free event. Nothing to bring or prepare. Come as you are, even if you know absolutely nothing about it. We welcome absolutely everyone and ensure a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. We've face-to-face taught games to over 1000 people of every kind-- join us!

We have shelter from rain, wind, and sun. Prepare for your own needs but we never cancel an event due to weather

Read all this event info and comments carefully both ahead of time and just before you attend, as our location and method may change slightly

How to find us at Ibis Island in Victoria Park:

• In general, use a map app to navigate to "Ibis Island" in Herston. Soon we will provide custom maps and photo trails to help with that
• Do not park on Gilchrist Road even if you app says you can-- stadium developers have blocked use by community cars
• From QUT Kelvin Grove campus: Transit and walk to, or park near, Siam Spice. Use map app to go to Ibis Island, walking the bike path. This doc gives you step by step instructions
• From Centenary Aquatic Centre in Spring Hill: Park at the Centre or on the street nearby. The map app should be accurate as you walk to Ibis Island. You will walk on a bike path over the motorway.
• From Herston Busway Station: The map app should be accurate, but walking directly onto the path from platform 1 is a shorter path than starting with taking the stairs or lift up to Herston Road

* Bonus info for all who care: As stadium developers approach Victoria Park/Barrambin, they will find out how much our community values this special place. Two promise-breaking Olympic stadiums are slated to be built in Victoria Park. Let's help them find out why they had better leave this park as undisturbed as possible. We are not led by www.savevictoriapark.com or the Goori Camp Embassy but those are a good way to learn more

Hey stadium developers, here we are! Play Around and Find Out! :)
