A little late this month, things seem to be not quite as busy as last month, but maybe there will be some new events popping up soon!
We seem to be slowly having events return, but a reminder to all that we must keep following CovidSafe guidelines while at physical events.
It has been a little difficult to track down all the events that may be physically back at the moment, so if you’re aware of one or more that we might have missed, let us know.

It is with heavy hearts and floppy ears, we have made the decision to cancel OzBunnycon 2020. This pandemic will get a lot worse before it gets better, and may last months, rather than weeks.
Given a board gaming convention is a ripe environment for the highly-transmissible COVID-19 virus, and the importance of social distancing in keeping pressure of our health system, this is the prudent move for us to make.
Those who have bought tickets will receive a direct email about refunds.
Thanks for your understanding – we are absolutely gutted, and hope to see you all on the other side of this thing.
OzBunnyCon 2019 tickets are now on sale.
Melbourne Meeples Inc is proud to present OzBunnyCon 2019, a family friendly open board gaming event over the 4 days of Easter in Melbourne, Australia.
