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?

Sydney Money Club — FIRE, Saving, Investing & Everything Money

**Sydney Money Club — FIRE, Saving, Investing & Everything Money** One of our members suggested we have a session on the FIRE movement — Financial Independence, Retire Early — so let’s give it a go. We’ll spend some time talking about FIRE: what it is, whether it’s realistic, saving rates, investing and the trade-offs involved. Then we’ll open it up into a completely free-form money discussion — what are you saving for, how are you saving, what are you investing in, what do you want to understand better? We also have a couple of stocks we are going to talk about as requested by members. If you have any you're curious about, please put them in the event chat. **No assumed knowledge whatsoever.** Beginners are very welcome. I work as a share analyst, so I’m very happy to talk about shares and investing all day long, but this isn’t intended to be a lecture. Bring whatever money questions or subjects interest you and we’ll see where the conversation goes. We’ll keep this one small — around 5–10 people — and grab a table at the pub for a relaxed chat over drinks and nibbles.

Board Games in North Ryde

Hi Gamers, We are continuing to meet fortnightly on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, so our next gaming session will be this Saturday (3rd October 2026), and we hope to see another great turn out this week. Whether you are a newcomer to gaming or a veteran of the hobby please come and join our friendly group - we have a wide collection of games between us and many willing teachers. If there's any specific board game that you're particularly keen to play, learn or teach, please let us know in the event chat/comments and we'll do our best to accommodate. Whilst not intending to limit individual enjoyment, we do ask that all attendees behave in a manner that is polite, considerate and respectful of others. The purpose of this group is to provide a warm, safe and friendly forum for social gaming that is equally welcoming and fun for everyone. Please be mindful that “it’s not whether you win or lose but how you play the game”. For an entertaining view on the do’s and don’ts of board gaming, this video “[50 Etiquette Rules for Board Games](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jfbGJV4Tsk&t=248s)” created by John Purkis and published on his YouTube channel “Actualol” is well worth checking out. Finally, please remember our kind hosts at the Ranch Hotel. Their food and drink offerings are seriously reasonable and your support most welcome! Please see directions to the Ranch Hotel on this page and also please note that our group meets in the breakfast room of the hotel (accommodation) section of The Ranch and NOT in the bar/bistro area. Sometimes you may find the hotel front door to be locked, in this case please phone this week's host on the number below to gain access. Hope to see you there, Astrid 0402-123-762

ECBG Friday Meetup

We are ECBG, the Eastern Community Boardgame Group and we meet every Friday at 7pm. Come join us to experience lots of fun with board games, card games, social deduction games and more! We're a friendly group with a diverse group of attendees and welcome everyone to participate. Feel free to come along whether you're a seasoned veteran or just want to try out the hobby. We have lots of people that bring games along and they're all happy to teach games to new players. Bring your own games if you like too, announce the game you wish to run and you'll find players within our group. If you're new, don't worry about lack of numbers in prior attendance lists, we typically have 20-35 players each week. Attendance at our meetups is free, but Easts Club do require you to sign in to enter the club so valid ID is required. Although optional, if you start to attend our free events regularly, you may wish to consider joining Easts as a member in which case there is a small per year membership fee (under $10) to Easts and comes with perks and discounts. You can inquire further on this with Easts direct as you enter the club. We generally meet in the Bondi Room, the large area next to Artie's Bar on Level 1. Sometimes when there is an event on, we might be in Artie's Bar itself instead or in the function room on level 3. Club staff should be able to direct you to us if you're lost. Just ask where the board gaming group is. See you there!
