We're back for an encore event at Fortress Melbourne! This is an LGBTQIA+ gaming-focused event where you get to meet other people in the community and find new friends while playing video or board games.
This is not a ticketed event, so feel free to turn up!
🔔 Alternate Day and Venue: This will be a Thursday evening in The Arena at Fortress Melbourne.
🎲 What will be there?
We'll have access to the several Fortress consoles (Nintendo Switches), board game library, giant Jenga & Connect 4, and a range of tables to use.
🏠 Please bring any games you'd like to play from home! Whether board games (i.e MTG) or portable game consoles (i.e. Steam Deck, Switch, DS, etc).
🏳️⚧️ All are welcome
Absolutely everyone is welcome -- this is not a cis-male exclusive event. If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, please let an admin know.
🍽️ Food & Drink
Food and drink will be available for purchase.
‣ Card accepted
‣ You cannot bring your own food or drink into the venue.
‣ While the event does officially wrap up at 9pm, you're welcome to keep playing on in the Tavern area.
📍 Where
It's central to the Melbourne CBD. We're in The Arena (upstairs from the Tavern). The closest train station is Melbourne Central. There are many trams nearby. Check out https://maps.app.goo.gl/UuoXiQ1u3327ANrw8 for detailed directions.
‣ Accessibility Notes: The venue is wheelchair accessible via lifts. Noise wise, this is a new venue -- we are aiming to keep it to our standard, quieter atmosphere. After the conclusion of the event, you're welcome to visit the Tavern though it's louder.
