A cozy café night where we can sit together, sip something good, and connect. Girls Club Sip & Chat is an evening to meet new girls, have easy conversation, and leave feeling a little lighter. I’ll have a few conversation prompts on the tables to get things started, and we’ll move around halfway through so you get to talk to different girls throughout the night. Whether you’re new to Girls Club or you’ve been to a few events already, I would love for you to join! Café location is Agenda Cafe and Bar Come solo or bring a friend. I can’t wait to see you!

Tickets are available in advance on [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/toronto-2slgbtqia-board-games-extravaganza-tickets-1983204964435?aff=ebdsoporgprofile). Hello and welcome to the 2SLGBTQIA+ Extravaganza! We are Canada's largest, and longest-running, board game event for the queer community. **About Us:** Our events are friendly meetups that aim to create a safe space for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, friends, and allies to gather and connect through gaming. Our goals for our events are to foster greater community, help build friendships, and support our community's safe space partners. **Cover:** Tickets will be pay-what-you-can, with a minimum $5. Admission supports all the resources that go into making these volunteer-organized events possible. Tickets can now be reserved in advance on [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/toronto-2slgbtqia-board-games-extravaganza-tickets-1983204964435?aff=ebdsoporgprofile). Why this change? 1. Since our new venue has limited seating, an RSVP on Meetup does not guarantee a seat. Especially if you are travelling from outside downtown, it helps gamers know they can attend the event before they arrive. 2. The lobby to the venue is much smaller than CSI. So to help folks enter the venue, having a QR code ticket is much faster than taking payments at the door. 3. With the option to PWYC, having tickets makes managing sales easier for our volunteers. 4. CSI was very generous with their pricing since many of the Extravaganza organizers were members of their organization. Since they closed, finding a new space in the city at the same price felt impossible. But! Cake Cabaret is also very generous in working with us to make a financially accessible event. In order to help them save on costs and manage their space, knowing numbers in advance with tickets is a HUGE help. **Waitlist & Walk-Ups:** If the pre-book tickets sell out on Eventbrite, we recommend joining the Eventbrite waitlist to be notified if a spot becomes available in advance. We will also start selling rush tickets for any seats that are open after 6:30 PM to walk-ups on a first-come basis, and we can accept both cash and card for payment at the door. If planning to do rush, pay-at-the-door tickets, the Cake Cabaret bar will be open with limited standing room for drinks and to social with other guests while you wait before 6:30 PM. **What to Expect:** Connecting with you and helping you find a group and a game is literally why we love putting these events on. Should you join us, both our volunteers and veteran attendees will help you feel comfortable and at home. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the world of board games, this event offers something for everyone. Discover new games, challenge your friends, and make new connections with fellow board game lovers along the way. Come as a group or solo, and our friendly volunteers can help pair you with a community table, assist with introductions, and offer support with any new games by providing a teach of the rules. Extravaganza events are community first. However you identify on the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, there is always a chair for you at our game tables. Friendly allies are also welcome, so long as they are respectful of the intentions of the event space. **Board Games:** From classic favourites to modern hits, we will have a wide selection of games to choose from, learn, and explore with nearly 100 games in our collection, including Coup, Codenames, Catan and many more! We also like to bring out the more crunchy games like Wingspan and Viticulture. You are also welcome to bring games from your own collection if you are interested in leading a table. **Roleplaying Games (RPGs) and Social Deception Games:** * Ever wanted to try a game like Dungeons & Dragons or Blood on the Clocktower? This is your chance! Our volunteers will be at some of the tables, ready and dedicated to leading beginner-friendly games for you to experience! * Our events feature a rotation of game experts and game systems, so there's always a new world to explore in a one-shot format. * When you first arrive, you can sign up for these activities or plan ahead in the new [Changeling Gaming Discord](https://discord.gg/Jnpa4CRFaN). **\- SCHEDULE \-** * **6 PM** // Doors open for ticket-holders, walk-in ticket sales, and sign-ups for group activities. * **6:15 - 9:30PM**// Openplay gaming tables, drink services, and food pop-up Dining & Dragons. * **8:30 PM//** Last call for the Kitchen * **9:30 - 10PM**// Wrap up games and social * **10PM** // Event ends **\- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS \-** 1. **Venue:** NEW! With the news of CSI Annex closing, we have worked hard to find a new home. Serving sweet treats with a side of spicy performance, Cake Cabaret is Toronto’s one-of-a-kind destination for dance, burlesque, drag, and special events. The perfect place to be safely queer and game. 2. **Accessibility:** The Cake Cabaret is easily accessible. They are only a few minutes' walk west from Pape Subway Station. The venue also features elevator access with low-reach buttons and a range of seating options that are easy to move. It also has gender-neutral bathrooms with push-buttons, wide stalls and low sinks. 3. **Food & Drink:** Cake Cabaret will be hosting a bar with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic [beverage options](https://www.cakecabaret.ca/menu-1). Please make a purchase where you are able to support the venue. (Remember to please drink responsibly). Our friends at [Dining & Dragons](https://www.instagram.com/dininganddragons/) will also be joining us again to offer a food pop-up with some delicious options for purchase. The food is incredible and well worth a try! **Want to Volunteer?:** We are always looking for wonderful folks to join our friendly team of volunteers who help to make these events possible. From greeting folks at the door, to teaching games, we have a wide variety of tasks behind the scenes that need doing. Volunteers help with set-up, clean-up, and 2 hrs of the event, hosting one of the various activities.
