Let's Board Game! ($5 Meetup Event) @Fortress Sydney

Board Games in a Bar. Sunday Edition

The Art Syndicate's weekly games night has been running for over two years. The regulars keep coming back. That's the whole story, really. Come as you are. **If you've got $10 to spend at the bar, that's what keeps the collection growing**. A wine, a beer, something non-alcoholic, and you're set for the night. **If money's tight, just show up. We'd rather have you in the room.** **External food is welcome.** For the after-work crowd, we often end up eating together anyway. Lisa and Saxon know the collection inside out. Tell them what you're after, something fast and social, a deep strategy game, or you've never touched a board game in your life, and you'll be sorted in five minutes. We've got titles that'll become new favourites and rare gems for the dedicated gamers. The room fills up with people who came once and never stopped coming back. Solo, with friends, or somewhere in between, it works either way. Come find out why. 🎲 Come find out why. **🎲 What's on the table** **Party & social** Coyote · Exploding Kittens · Ghost Court · Here to Slay · Monikers · Munchkin · No Ducks Given · Sushi Go · Telestrations · Trolley Problem · Uno: No Mercy · A Fake Artist Goes to New York **Social deduction** Blood on the Clocktower · Codenames · Coup **Strategy** Arcs · Carcassonne · Catan · Railroads · Sidereal Confluence · Ticket to Ride: Europe **Mystery & investigation** Awkward Guests · Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective · This Game is Killer: Frozen Horrors **Co-op** Magic Maze · Pandemic Legacy · Puzzle Box **Team** Captain Sonar **Classics** Cards · Chess · Scrabble *Want something specific?

Understanding Court Cards Through Alchemy

**Court Cards & Alchemic Elements** Many of us struggle to interpret messages from the Court Cards (Kings, Queens, Knights, and Pages). Some might say these enigmatic cards are the most difficult to read because their numerous potential interpretations can lead to confusion. One approach to help understand Court Cards that is easy to remember is through exploring the associations with their assigned fundamental elements of alchemy: fire, water, air, and earth. Elemental links to the Tarot were proposed in the 19th century by associates of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and have become widely integrated by tarot readers globally. Join us on Saturday, the 28th of November to explore the Court Cards, the four Alchemic elements, and the correspondence they share. Through a deepened understanding, you will be better equipped to interpret the nuances of the Court Cards and how they interact with and influence other cards in a spread. All are welcome, from curious to professional. With us, you'll find a friendly and welcoming group of tarot enthusiast who honour and encourage individual expression.

Thursday Night Games at the Glenroy

Join us again for games at the Glenroy Hotel (246 Botany Rd, Alexandria). People drift in from around 5ish for an official start of 6.30pm. We organise our games and have discussions through our Aftergame group (https://aftergame.app/groups/south-sydney-bg-community) so join us there if you want to stay up to date on what is going to be on the table for the week. You can also see what kinds of games we've been playing! Parking is found at the back of the pub, using the left furthest entrance from Botany Road. Drive right down Retreat Street, and the entrance is on the left just before the Buddhist temple. If you’re lost, give us a call (0423807400). Entry is free, but we encourage you to buy a drink and meal to support the venue, who permits us to play weekly for free. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the country on which we will meet, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Ticket to Ryde

Gaming Meetups Ticket to Ryde (T2R) holds an open, social tabletop gaming meetup on Wednesdays, from 6:30pm until late. This includes all sorts of board games, card games, dice games, etc. (see the Games We Play section below for more details). We typically meet at the West Ryde Hotel (corner Victoria Road, Chatham Road & Dickson Lane). You'll find us hanging out in the Function Room, affectionately referred to as the Fish Bowl. If you enter from Dickson Lane, walk up the steps to the beer garden area and we'll be immediately on your right. On occasion, we may be forced to meet at another venue, so double check the forums on our Board Game Geek (BGG) webpage for the latest. Everyone is welcome. Minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. The hotel's function room and amenities are ambulant disability accessible, however, please be aware our alternate venues may not be. While there is no cost to attend, we're encouraged to support the hotel by purchasing food from the bistro and drinks from the bar. Many like to arrive early to order and eat dinner in the function room, before the gaming begins. Public transport, walking or cycling are ideal ways to travel to and from the venue. If driving, parking is available in the surrounding streets - be sure to check for any sign-posted parking restrictions. More information about the venue can be found on the West Ryde Hotel website.

Bondi Board Games - ECBG Friday Meetup

We are ECBG, the Eastern Community Boardgame Group, and we meet every Friday at 7pm. We generally meet on Level 1 in the auditorium area next to Artie's Bar (or inside Artie's Bar if an event is on). Don't worry about a lack of numbers in prior attendance lists—we typically have 25–30 players each week! Come join us to experience lots of fun with board games, card games, social deduction games, and more. We're a friendly group with a diverse set of attendees and welcome everyone to participate. Feel free to come along whether you're a seasoned veteran or just want to try out the hobby. We have lots of people that bring games along and they're all happy to teach games to new players. Bring your own games if you like too, announce the game you wish to run, and you'll find players within our group. Attendance at our meetups is free, but Easts Club requires you to sign in to enter the club, so valid ID is required. Although optional, if you start to attend our free events regularly, you may wish to consider joining Easts as a member—there is a small annual membership fee (under $10) that comes with perks and discounts. You can inquire further on this directly with Easts staff as you enter the club. If you're lost, club staff should be able to direct you to us—just ask where the free community boardgame group (ECBG) is located. See you there!
