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?

Microburbs Hackathon

# Join the Microburbs Hackathon New: one day and more than 200 kinds of property and urban data, from live listings to the 2026 Census, free. Build anything you like with property and urban data: an app, a map or a video. The key covers the City of Sydney council area. **Free to enter, in Sydney or online from anywhere in Australia.** Founders, agents, investors, designers, marketers, analysts and coders are all welcome. **Open for a limited time only.** Places are limited, so apply. We choose who takes part against our selection criteria. Applying does not guarantee a place. **Bring your laptop.** Power and lunch are provided. Use any AI you like, and have your subscriptions ready. Teams are three to six people. ## What is the Microburbs Hackathon? A one-day build on Saturday 7 November 2026 where Microburbs hands you the property data we normally sell, for the whole City of Sydney council area, and you make something with it. Free to enter. Come in person at UTS Business School, Level 4, near Sydney CBD, or enter remotely from anywhere in Australia. Run with Dr Eugene Dubossarsky and Data Science Sydney, the Sydney AI + Data meetup. It is a community day as much as a contest: you meet the people who build with this kind of data in Sydney, and you leave with something to show. We are grateful to our hosts and sponsors, the UTS Centre for Business Intelligence and Data Analytics for making this hackathon possible.
