A huge board game event to be held at Central Coast Leagues Club on Saturday, September 9, aims to raise $1,500 for Central Coast Kids in Need.
Presented jointly by the C4 Tabletop Gaming Group and the Central Coast Board Game Club, the day will comprise a Twilight Imperium, which has already reached its participation cap, and mixed board games available for interested gamers.
All proceeds from the feature event will go directly to supporting Central Coast Kids in Need, with $975 already collected through a fundraising appeal being run in conjunction with the day and a raffle, along with entry fees for the Twilight Imperium.
Spokesperson Daniel Downing said interested gamers were welcome to arrive from 10am on the day to observe the Twilight Imperium gamers in action or join in a variety of other games.
The C4 Tabletop Gaming Group primarily organises tabletop tournaments and is well regarded across the NSW scene.
The Central Coast Board Game Club (CCBG) runs weekly game nights on Wednesday and a monthly Saturday event.
While the C4 group mainly is involved in games like Star Wars: Legion, Shatterpoint and Twilight Imperium, the CCBG is an all-inclusive club where there are no real singular games that get played more than others.
The range on offer includes everything from DnD and RPG to social deduction, strategy, casual and economic games.
There is a large game library that club members can access.
“It’s a welcoming environment where attendees can rock up with a game they want to try or jump into one of the many groups going on the day,” Downing said.
The game day kicks off at 10am with the main Twilight Imperium event starting at 10.30am and game play continuing throughout the day until around 10pm.
While the monthly Saturday meetings normally require a board game club membership of $10 per year, the fee has been waived for this charity event.
