Hey friends, please join us for our Meet and Geek at Pixel! We run this event every four weeks and it's a great opportunity to meet new people, play some games, and have some fun. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to seeing you all there! * **About the event:** Perfect if you're a solo gamer looking to make friends, or if you've never been to a Meet Up before! It's a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere where you can comfortably meet people and play games socially. There's a variety of games and player experience at all levels. * **Bring your own favourite game(s)!** There is a great selection of games provided by Pixel, but we encourage people to bring their own as well! If you don't have any, no dramas! Just join a table and learn a new game with help from our friendly community. * **Starting at 7pm and ending about 10pm** at Pixel Bar and Cafe. They have kindly let us use their space, so please show your support to this great venue by buying a drink or two (non-alcoholic options available!). If you're in need of a bite, you can order food to the venue too! * **Getting there:** Pixel Bar is opposite Huntingdale station, so there's trains, buses, and plenty of car parks! * **Regarding the Waitlist:** Please remove yourself from attending if you are unable to make the event. This allows others who are next in line on the waitlist to get a notification and be able to attend. We want the event as full as possible! * Dave, Hayley, and Laura

We invite everyone to **play around & find out\*** how much fun and solidarity comes from playing together at a table in a beautiful park. **Find out** how to play a co-operative board game with other absolute beginners. Prepare for the 2032 Olympic Board Games— you might join a team or cheer them on! All for free with nothing to bring. Earthborne Rangers (ER) excels with its initial simplicity and elegant depth. You explore a world with optimistic “solarpunk” themes as you work as a team to succeed together. It's like Dungeons & Dragons but a nice change from grim dungeon-crawling and disaster-fighting, and has more structure, less improvisation. Learn more about ER [here](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/342900/earthborne-rangers). Lifelong game designer Matthew Ford will teach absolute beginners. All materials are supplied for you to play. The first half gives you the general idea. After a short break you can continue into more depth for the next half. You will get invited to events for continued intermediate play — whether you want to go for the gold on our final team, or just squad up to improve each other. Nothing to bring or prepare. Come as you are, even if you know absolutely nothing about it. We welcome absolutely everyone and ensure a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. We've face-to-face taught games to over 1000 people of every kind-- join us! We will never cancel due to weather-- we have a rain shelter! Prepare for heat but we will have a sun shade set up if it's sunny and hot. RSVP to this event to hear about any changes to the directions or times. Find us outside at a **park bench near the Centenary Aquatic Centre** in Spring Hill: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zoedZcCZ2TiWJoeC9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zoedZcCZ2TiWJoeC9) . More advanced play will be centered at Ibis Island-- come to this event to get access to other events that guide you there later. I will be there, or at least as close to our spot as possible, **regardless of any conditions of any kind**. \ *Bonus info for all who care: As stadium developers approach Ibis Island, the heart of Victoria Park, they will find out how much our community values this special place. Two promise-breaking Olympic stadiums are slated to be built in Victoria Park, threatening Ibis Island and our gaming community. Let's help them find out** why they had better leave that spot untouched. Our weekly event series is a spark. Join us so we can all build a fire. PAFO is not run by [www.savevictoriapark.com](www.savevictoriapark.com) but that's a good way to learn more. Hey stadium developers, here we are! Play Around and Find Out! :)
