Board Games in a Bar. Someone Had To

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?

Indonesian Rail Adventure

This is not an event but a **Call for Interest** in my 15 day Indonesian rail tour in June 2027. **Ketapang to Palembang: Bali to Banka** While many know Bali well it is surprising how few have ventured further and explored the other regions of Indonesia so with a passion for rail travel and an ambition to show others another side of Indonesia I have put together an amazing 15 day rail journey choosing Bali as our departure point and traveling the length of Java then crossing the Banda Straight to Southern Sumatra through to Palembang. I have put together a short animation of the route [Animated Route Map](https://youtu.be/9Ss7Q6T2Ogc) [Hint: if it plays a little blurry press the cog wheel on the youtube playing screen and select 'quality 720p'] If you'd like an itinerary, tour cost or have any questions please contact me via a meetup message or contact me directly. 0434946930 \# An RSVP at this stage is understood as an expression of interest and keeps you in the loop with any updates\.

Board game night at Fortress Sydney, 6 PM

This event is made in the EST timezone, so Meetup shows the time above in EST, but it happens at 6 PM in Sydney's local timezone. Pull up a seat with other board game fans in Sydney. 🎲 Come solo or bring a friend, grab a table, and pick a game off the shelf. 🍻 Order a drink or a bite while you play. 📍 Fortress Sydney is at Central Park Mall, Level 2/28 Broadway. 💵 Board game hire in the tavern is $15, free on Wednesdays. 🔴 **Wear something red** so everyone in our group is easy to spot. Hosted by clanfall.com/?src=meetup, an online board game.

'THIRSTY MERC' AND DINNER BEFORE.

Play Theatre Games in the Park (Maroubra Beach!)

**Join us at MAROUBRA BEACH to play Theatre Games with friendly and awesome people!** This will double as a Theatre Games session and early Christmas Party 🎄 We’ll do the usual Improv 3pm-5pm, and bring your favourite food / snacks for an optional swim & dinner 5pm-7pm. Everyone is welcome, no matter your level of Improv expertise! For an example of the type of fun that can go on in our days see: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a23t0evG3xI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a23t0evG3xI) There is a $3 fee per event, or you can pay a $25 annual membership fee. This covers the costs of running the group. The fee can be paid in person, or by transferring to the followin**g account:** **Name:** Theatre Games **BSB:** 923 100 **Acc No:** 313632027 Use your name in the reference line so the Treasurer can keep track of your contribution. If you choose to pay the annual membership fee, it would be a great help to us if you would note your membership start date, and renew your membership when needed. This will avoid us spending time on account-keeping, which means we can instead focus on making the games as fun as possible! We have Facebook and Instagram pages, on which we post group photos and occasionally other announcements. Feel free to Like :) [https://www.facebook.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park-Sydney-487255451682498/](https://www.facebook.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park-Sydney-487255451682498/) [https://www.instagram.com/theatregamesintheparksydney](https://www.instagram.com/theatregamesintheparksydney?fbclid=IwAR2fMlbCnv1PVQXX0xO7d6d_4mMDsXtT3dcs1awToamKK-ag1AAQhVYyPLQ) **FAQ** **Location & Parking** Aim for Arthur Byrne Reserve, Cnr Fitzgerald Ave & Marine Parade. Follow the pin location on the day, we may fine tune the exact spot. If you have trouble finding us, message on the event chat, we’ll monitor that. Parking may be possible but public transport is recommended. **Instructional videos for newcomers** For those completely new to the concept of theatre games or improvisation, you might find the following instructional videos helpful to you: 1. The importance of facing the audience in the right way [https://youtu.be/VO7EXv-dVYA](https://youtu.be/VO7EXv-dVYA) 2\. The importance of not saying "no" to everything in a scene: [https://youtu.be/GjptDwG96e8](https://youtu.be/GjptDwG96e8) Why is my status saying "Unpaid" even though I have paid? This is due to a bad design feature of the Meetup website, please ignore it! Keeping up with the latest news and related fun events Go to our Facebook Discussion Group. This is a fun way to share improv/comedy clips, discuss improv and generally chat with the cool members of our group! [https://www.facebook.com/groups/2112357978921450](https://www.facebook.com/groups/2112357978921450) **What if it rains?** We’ll find a suitable nearby shelter, or if this is not possible we’ll take temporary shelter at a local pub or venue. The sessions go ahead one way or another and no one is left behind. **Can you help promote my event / group / cult?** Yes.. but within reason! We love to help our members who are doing awesome and creative projects. The problem is that because we get asked to promote things so often, we cannot do so via social media posts. As this would cause our members to be "spammed" and announcements about upcoming events to get buried. However, there are still two ways we can help to promote your project. Firstly, please feel free to post on our Facebook Discussion group. Secondly, you are also welcome to post in our [Meetup Forum](https://www.meetup.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park/discussions/), where your post may be seen by our 1,800+ members. Lastly, we may be able to help in additional ways if you wish to share an opportunity for our members to perform. In this case we may be able to send a Meetup Message to our members, or to announce it in person at our events. **What if I have other questions?** If possible please post any questions in the comments area below rather than directly messaging us, so that others can see the answer too. This will allow us to spend less time answering messages, and more time making the games as fun as possible!

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.

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.
