About us

Welcome to Melbourne games by the Ludos Guild.
Home to the best in person gaming events in Melbourne.

I remember how important tabletop games was for me during Melbourne's lockdowns. I worked a lot and felt isolated at home.
Weekends were my only chance to socialize. I don't really go out. I don't drink.
Luckily, I had a games group with friends that played once a week.
Thanks to them, we enjoyed funny moments and told stories together every week.
For that I am grateful, and want to share that with you today.

If your interested in building out your social circle, play boardgames, and try D&D, you have come to the right place! 🌟

You can join our Boardgame nights, and be guided by our hosts for a night of table games around new friends.

You can join in role-play games like Dungeons & Dragons and others, sessions running for complete beginners. 🐣

We put a lot of effort in to making our nights sociable, inspiring and fun. ✨✨✨

Our boardgame hosts do their best to attend to first timers to get you comfortably in a game quickly, no matter the skill level. 🤸🏽

Our Game Masters for D&D lead you and 5 others through 3.5hrs of their Fantasy Roleplaying Game. Featuring everything from Riddles, Betrayal and even Horror. ☠️

But this group is not for everyone. ⛩️

We all have regulars and friends in this space, and we strive to protect our community.

If you would like to join, apply, and answer the 5 questions. We'll take a look soon 🕵🏽
