R U OK 2 Play? In the Park - South East Suburbs

A full day of board gaming in a beautiful environment, or come along for as long as you want!
Brought to you by a collaboration of Melbourne Meeples, Board Game Meet & Play, the Board Game Bonanza and the Knox Board Game Community!
For R U OK in the Park, four of our many board game communities in south-east Melbourne are coming together in the beautiful Tatterson Pavillion to put on a day of playing board games, making and connecting with friends in a peaceful environment. Play some games, take a stroll out in the woodland and come play more games!
We will likely have a few prizes and surprises (check our socials to stay up-to-date) however this day is primarily about coming together to play games. Bring your own games, or choose from a wide range of games that we will bring on the day.
Regarding Tickets:
As it’s a bigger venue we need to sell tickets to cover the room hire - any surplus will be donated straight to R U OK.
Grabbing tickets in advance helps us plan, however we will be holding enough back for the door to ensure anyone can attend. And whilst $10-$12 may not be much if you’re having to save every penny at present just let us know and we will discreetly make sure you don’t have to miss out.
$10 advance, $12 on the day.
Children under 8 are free - all children should be accompanied by an adult.
Here’s some information about R U OK 2 Play?:
Talking to people can be hard, whether they are people we love or complete strangers. Sometimes it can also be difficult to find the crowd of people that we fit into or to find ways to connect to those already in our lives. For these reasons, board and card games, or more specifically, tabletop games, are an excellent tool for bringing people together. Not only are tabletop games fun, they are a great way to combat social isolation and improve mental health.
Sitting around a table with a shared activity can create a great sense of togetherness and games provide an amazing buffer if you find socialising difficult. Even though interaction is encouraged by the nature of a game, standard pleasantries and the need for small talk is eliminated.
