Rock up. Grab a drink. Play something good. That's been the deal at The Art Syndicate for over two years — and the regulars keep proving it works. This isn't a one-off event or a gimmick. It's a proper weekly night at a proper bar, with a games library that'll surprise you and drinks that won't empty your wallet. **$10 bar spend gets you in.** Wine, beer, non-alcoholic **one drink or snack and you're set for the night.** For sydney on a weeknight, that's hard to beat when new games are bought in on the regular. External food is welcome. For those just finishing work we often eat together. Our hosts Lisa and Saxon know the collection inside out. Whether you want something fast and social, a deep strategy game, or you've never picked up a board game in your life — you'll be sorted in five minutes. We've got titles that'll become your 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. **🎲 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?

From Board Games in North Ryde Meetup Group

Hi Gamers, We are continuing to meet fortnightly on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, so our next gaming session will be this Saturday (6th June 2026) - and to make it extra special this week, **Sat 6th June 2026 is INTERNATIONAL TABLETOP DAY!!!!** Whether you are a newcomer to gaming or a veteran of the hobby please come and join our friendly group - we have a wide collection of games between us and many willing teachers. If there's any specific board game that you're particularly keen to play, learn or teach, please let us know in the event chat/comments and we'll do our best to accommodate. Whilst not intending to limit individual enjoyment, we do ask that all attendees behave in a manner that is polite, considerate and respectful of others. The purpose of this group is to provide a warm, safe and friendly forum for social gaming that is equally welcoming and fun for everyone. Please be mindful that “it’s not whether you win or lose but how you play the game”. For an entertaining view on the do’s and don’ts of board gaming, this video “[50 Etiquette Rules for Board Games](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jfbGJV4Tsk&t=248s)” created by John Purkis and published on his YouTube channel “Actualol” is well worth checking out. Finally, please remember our kind hosts at the Ranch Hotel. Their food and drink offerings are seriously reasonable and your support most welcome! Please see directions to the Ranch Hotel on this page and also please note that our group meets in the breakfast room of the hotel (accommodation) section of The Ranch and NOT in the bar/bistro area. Sometimes you may find the hotel front door to be locked, in this case please phone this week's host on the number below to gain access. Hope to see you there, Astrid 0402-123-762
