This week, I had the pleasure of attending a get together of the Beer and Boardies gaming group that meets monthly at the Fox and Hounds Inn at Mt.Tamborine. The venue is excellent, being modelled on a traditional English country pub and there are few clubs where you can enjoy a pint along with a board game.
Beer and Boardies was founded by Rob Mulholland whose main interest is euro-style board games. Rob is from the UK and has a wealth of experience running board game clubs and conventions. It was very interesting talking to Rob and getting his perspective on gaming over the past decade.
On the night I played a great little game called Elfen Roads (by Alan Moon of Ticket to ride fame). Other titles being played included Balloon Race, Elephant Parade, Legacy, Memoir 44 and the classic Acquire.
Beer and Boardies next meet on Wednesday 10th February 2010 from 6pm – 10pm. To get to the Fox and Hounds you take the Oxenford exit on the Pacific Highway and follow the Oxenford-Mt. Tamborine Road for about half an hour. You can’t miss the building – it’s big and white.
If you get the chance drop into a Beer and Boardies night – it’s well worth the trip (and the beer and cider are great!)
Regards,
Keith Done
