One of the fastest growing trends in South Africa of late is tabletop gaming. This is so true in fact that our friends at Timeless Boardgames has gone above and beyond to create an absolutely superb day of fun and board games with over 200 board games to play at their new venue at Jeppe Quandum in Bedfordview, Johannesburg.

Geek Node went through on Saturday afternoon to see what it was all about and we were not disappointed by any measure of the word. In addition to the actual gaming going on, there was a silent auction going, great giveaways, as well as several games to buy if the bug bit you, which it did to us.

Now I must be clear in saying that Mindless Pixie and myself have been fans of tabletop gaming for quite a while and our collection boasts of several games including Betrayal at House on the Hill, Dead of Winter, several Fluxx games (including Batman Fluxx which we bought at the event – review coming soon!) as well as King of Tokyo. Being exposed to so many other board games just makes the wallet weep. I know the Pixie so badly wanted to buy Adventure Time Card Wars, which looks fantastic!

If you missed out on the festivities check out some pictures below (taken by us as well as Timeless Boardgames) and a video above, which includes an interview with Timeless Boardgames’ Richard and Andrea. If all this tickles your fancy, remember that Timeless Boardgames will be at Geek Fest this weekend. In addition to them having their own space where you can go and sit and play, Geek Node will have a few tables in front of our stall where you can sit down, relax and play a few board games with us!

If you managed to attend an event for International Boardgames Day, do let us know in the comments and feel free to share pictures of your experience!

Thanks again to Timeless Boardgames for inviting us to enjoy International Boardgames Day 2016 with you and other like-minded geeks!
