Board Game Play-Off

Overview

Sometimes, life gives you ladders. Sometimes, it brings you snakes. At The Mustard Seed's Board Game Play-Off, you can expect both — and yes, we're talking about the game.

Luring all game lovers to Woollongabba from 3pm on December 10, the event is exactly what it sounds like: an excuse to find go (without going directly to jail), move pawns around a board, ask who is in the library with the candlestick, and discover just why those hippos are so hungry. Or, ponder whatever other questions your favourite game inspires. This is the kind of get-together where bringing your own along with you is heartily encouraged.

Afternoon tea will be provided, and while the event is free, registration is required. And if we can offer a tip, the real game of champions is Uno. It fits in your pocket, it's a great multi-player option, and you know you just want to make your BFFs draw four just when they think they've got the round stitched up. Go on, admit it.
