About this event

Love gaming and community building? Come and join Us for an afternoon of tabletop games and hanging out with other gamers.

Across the Board gaming club meets weekly at Narrm Ngarrgu Library (located next to Victoria Market in Melb CBD) Every Sunday afternoon from 12 noon thru to 4pm. Narrm Ngarrgu Library Opens at 12 noon, so give us a few minutes to open up and get things ready. From 12 noon until 12.30 we'll play some quick games (card games, smaller games etc) for smaller groups, while we wait, and then look to start playing larger group games from 12.30 .


There are two dedicated meeting rooms for gaming and roleplaying groups, with lots of tables and chairs. Boardgamers - there is a small library of boardgames to play with from the library - or you are welcome to bring your own games along to play with others. Wargamers - there are tablemats and some terrain to play with, skirmish games and larger army battles will be put on in special events by club volunteers. CCG'ers - bring your mats and collections for a game (or three).


The library also has a dedicated maker space with 3D printers, lasercutter and an airbrushing station.


Newcomers, just ask at the narrm ngarrgu reception desk and they can point out where the club meeting rooms are.

Frequently asked questions

What can I play?

We are tabletop games focused. This includes boardgames of all shapes and sizes, collectible card games (eg Magic, Pokemon etc), strategy tabletop games (skirmish and battle), tabletop roleplaying games ( with a dedicated room), chess and anything that take peoples' fancy!

Can anyone play?

We are an inclusive space - we want to provide a place for everyone to play. We ask that people are respectful of others and their gaming spaces, too - there is room for us all to share our passion for gaming, with a generosity of spirit.

What do I need to bring?

If you want to play one of your games, bring it along. Try and organise others to play with you. There will be volunteers available to play in groups etc, but they are limited! There are lots of boardgames and tabletop gaming resources (dice, tablemats, terrain, some figures) available to members.

When do you meet?

At the moment, we meet every second Sunday. Dates will be assigned as events on here. We meet at 12 noon and go thru to about 4pm, (packing up closer to 330pm, as the library closes at 4pm).

We are @ the meeting rooms of level one, narrm ngarrgu library, 141 Therry Street, Melbourne. Just ask at the library reception desk for directions. The library is across from Vic Market, and tram stops on Elizabeth St. Paid Parking is available below the library, but gets crowded on Sundays.
