June is Pride Month, so it's the perfect excuse to come on down and game with your community! 🏳️‍🌈
📅 Wed 17 Jun | ⏰ 6–9PM
Fly solo or bring your mates. If it is your first time, our admins are here to help you join the party! 💜
This is not a ticketed event.
—----------------
🚨What do I need to bring?
You just need to bring yourself!
Optionally, you can bring friends, consoles, or any specific tabletop games or switch carts you'd like to play.
🎲 What games will be there?
We'll have access to several Nintendo Switches (including Mario Kart, Super Smash, Boomerang Fu, & more), board game library, Jackbox, 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 decks) or portable game consoles (i.e. Steam Deck, Switch, Switch Carts, DS, etc).
🍽️ Grab dinner and a drink
Food and drink will be available at the bar. There will be a few specials, so keep an eye on socials. You cannot bring your own food or drink into the venue.
‣ All attendees must follow our Responsible Consumption of Alcohol guidelines: https://gaymers.org.au/rules/.
🕔 When should I get there?
It's best to arrive at the start of the event time to grab a table and have the opportunity to join in any long format games.
It's OK if you can't make it until later; we'll recommend some games based on what's running at the time, and what's suitable to jump into.
If you see a game you'd like to join, feel free to.
📍Where is it?
Fortress is central to the Melbourne CBD.
The closest train station is Melbourne Central. There are many trams nearby.
Check out https://maps.app.goo.gl/UuoXiQ1u3327ANrw8 for detailed directions.
Fortress has three levels. We'll be on Level 2 in The Arena (upstairs from the Tavern/Arcade).
You can enter via the Emporium shopping centre while it's open (until 9pm), and via the after hours laneway once Emporium closes.
‣ Accessibility: The venue is wheelchair accessible via lifts.
‣ Noise: we keep a lo-fi atmosphere suitable for having a conversation during games. After the conclusion of the event, you're welcome to visit the Tavern though it's louder.
🏳️‍⚧️ Everyone is welcome!
We have zero tolerance for anti-social or non-inclusive behaviour. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, please let an admin know straight away.
