​⚽ ​Sydney Football Managers! ♟️ We are bringing the dugout to the ultimate gaming arena. On Wednesday, July 8th, we are having the **SuperClub Board Game experience at Fortress Sydney**, in Chippendale! We are joining forces with the ultimate gaming hub for a high-energy night of tactical tabletop football. ​We are running an exclusive session of Superclub—the premium football manager board game that takes your football obsession and puts it to a practical, tactical test. We will also have **EA FC 26** available to play if you are keen. ​**This is Pure Management** ​The players you watch on TV or manage digitally are now tactical assets in your hands. You don't just pick the player; you manage their legacy, their development, and their ego. We provide the boards, the dedicated player cards, and the complete club folders for your favorite teams. ​In Superclub, success is built on raw strategy. You will: 1. ​**Pick your club** setup from our wide offering (Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, etc.). 2. ​Execute a live **player draft**—will you build for the future with raw young talent like **Endrick**, or lean on world-class, ready-made Veterans like **Eden Hazard** who dominate now but face the threat of seasonal decline? 3. ​Navigate the Off-Season by managing your club's finances, upgrading your training facilities, and hunting for stars. 4. ​Hunt for signatures during a frantic, high-stakes Deadline Day. 5. ​Set tactical lineups—deploy flexible Attacking Midfielders (AM) or Defensive Midfielders (DM) into your formation to outmaneuver your opponent's defense. 6. ​Claim victory by mastering team chemistry, conquering key match thirds, and lifting the Super Cup! ​**Who is this Game Day For?** ​Tactical Geniuses and Football Manager Addicts who want to prove their dominance in an analog, face-to-face setting. ​EA FC and Ultimate Team Players looking to test their squad-building and chemistry skills on a physical board. ​Anyone who loves building a dream club and wants an authentic, strategic experience. Newbies are completely welcome—we will teach you the rules in 20 minutes. ​**Event Details and Slots** ​To maintain a premium, competitive environment, spaces are strictly limited. We only have a handful of management spots available across our trestle tables, so early registration is essential! ​**Time**: 5:30PM to explaing the rules, Game Kick-off at 6PM ​**Location**: Fortress Sydney (Central Square, Chippendale, close to Central Station) – Look for us at the Arena trestle tables! ​**Cost**: FREE to play! (Fortress has a full tavern menu and bar available for dinner and drinks while you manage). ​Limited spots are available. You must RSVP on MeetUp to secure your manager's seat. Come solo or bring your tactical assistant—let's see who really belongs in the UEFA Champions League.📋⚽

Bondi Board Games - ECBG Friday Meetup

We are ECBG, the Eastern Community Boardgame Group and we meet every Friday at 7pm. 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 group 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. If you're new, don't worry about lack of numbers in prior attendance lists, we typically have 20-35 players each week. Attendance at our meetups is free, but Easts Club do require 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 in which case there is a small per year membership fee (under $10) to Easts and comes with perks and discounts. You can inquire further on this with Easts direct as you enter the club. We generally meet in the auditorium area next to Artie's Bar on Level 1. Sometimes when there is an event on, we might be in Artie's Bar itself instead. Club staff should be able to direct you to us if you're lost. Just ask where the Free Board Gaming Group is located known as ECBG. Note there is a smaller project group that operate within Easts on a Friday night as well, that charge an attendance fee so be clear you're looking for the free community boardgames group ECBG and you'll find us. See you there!
