So now I'm sitting here with all these snacks and drinks
And all these games will remain unplayed
Edit: I live in Melbourne, Aus for those who want to know.
FP Edit: Thank you all for your kind words and offers of playing games. I never thought this would make the FP, and I'm honoured to be a part of this amazing community. Keep on gaming everyone!
Daddio81
Looks like you pitched a shutout! Well done!
justplayingdiceuntilthegodscomeback
Fuck it...I'm in. Lets get some gaming done!
Howbowdaht
I too am from melbourne and would love playing more board games but my friends aren't interested...
bitchgoblet
Shut the front door, there’s a Legend if Drizzt game!!??
LordNobleKing
It's a co-op tile exploration game, similar to a RPG-in-a-box setup
bitchgoblet
I must have it.
370zSteve
Sounds like you need to make some new friends! Nice of you to invite them.
Lulabel73
I live in Melbourne, I hate board games but if I was invited I’d either say no thanks to your face or show up. People have no manners!
andachairaswell
Mate I'm in bendigo. If I wasn't so busy packing the house to move, I would have driven there and played with ya!
djmaskell
As a promoter, this is not a bad thing. I threw an event where 0 people showed up. So I bragged that it was packed & no one could disprove!
djmaskell
After all, since no one else was there, there aren't any witnesses who could call out my lies. It's brilliant marketing hahaha
Deshalope
Brilliant!

You should do a YouTube show where you review board games. And call it Game Board or something.
FilesInsideTheComputer
You have a lot of good games, person.
ministryofpeace
Agreed. Some pretty good stuff there.
thefrayedendsofsanity
And a lot of bad friends, mate.
7jaa
Do not assume it's a person, entity.
CookieQueene
DannyDevitoBurritoBandito
Do not assume it's an entity, being.
screwdriverone
Stop being obtuse, friend.
Nobanob
He's not your friend, guy
RoninRyker
Don’t assume it’s your guy, bud
Squeesus
Whoa whoa whoa. Hold up. There’s a Harry Potter munchkin?
ActuallyAPirate
I used to love munchkin. I have so many expansions... I always want to play to like level 30 cuz of the huge deck, but no one will play that
Snooj
Munchkin is like Fluxx. If there's a thing, there's a Munchkin/Fluxx version of it.
modernshoggoth
There's an everything-Munchkin. I have backed both the Rick & Morty Munchkin as well as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Munchkin.
cornworld
You need a better class of friends.
throwawaynoms
Or to not be an insufferable asshole
youremyboyblue123
I agree! When I lived in NY, they had a space at a mall for game night. I bet Melbourne has something similar?
lafe
We do! Alchemist's Refuge in the CBD is a fantastic bar/game space. Heard good things about Marché as well though never been.
itsawful
yeah, just get better friends, what could be easier?
keepbeachcityweird
Making friends as an adult is way hard...
bringbakfirefly
One advantage of being smoker, you meet a lot of people and it's easy.
TannerBFly
I don't know adulting is hard, and sometimes weekends are busy. Try again another time?
SpookyNerd
Co-workers usually aren't friends, that's probably why op didn't just say "friends".
LordNobleKing
Correct. But it's good to get along with your co-workers, so I tried to run a games day with them
TheCuccoonyourshoulder
I'd play with you if we lived somewhere close
laestrella
Sorry. I feel anxious for you :(
imgurj17
Ah I was in Melbourne two weeks ago, so would have been in for a game
nonCanadianGoose
Ah Melbourne, where you can get frostbite on your sunburn in the same day
AnonKneeMoose
Would come but busy on the spider fronts in QLD
Imguralterego
Didn't you get the memo? They all caught Ubers down to Adelaide.
ilukaperi
And windburn in the mix too, maybe some sand rash and jellyfish stings
MerToo
While you cough your guts out from the pollution. Seriously, nearly carked. Couldn't figure it out 'til I saw the city from a distance. Smog
ilukaperi
Yeah, today was very smoky from the fires, I'm not far from them so we got a fair bit of the smoke.
MerToo
Next time there aren't any fires, you take a look down a long straight eg Sydney Rd and you will still see the haze.
MadKraken
I'd brave Australian wildlife to come hang out with someone with a game shelf that well stocked
SamArt53
So sorry for you - your ‘friends’ need help. BTW - I see a bunch of awesome looking games, but I’m not seeing any snacks. I’m just sayin’
mirrelle
I just sit looking at my games and social anxiety and don't even get to the inviting.
mirrelle
That said if a co worker invited me to something like this I'd totally be down.
LightningMcQueef
Why are all of your games upside down? (And whoah there's a Bloodborne board game?)
LordNobleKing
The Bloodborne game is a competitive game for 3-5 players. It plays like the end-game content (the chalice dungeons) rather than the story
UpSaDaisy
I’ve had this happen. Bad feeling in your tummy. Try a different approach next time. And ALWAYS invite two for-sures.
JencoKiQui
I'd be there! We'd also invite you to our group. Played Smallworld, Terraforming Mars, and Azul this week.
YeahNoForSure
I’ve played these games. These are good games. Your games are better than your friends sir.
Coruxus
It’s ok, I invite people out and am often disappointed. Never forget that you are the brave one OP
gowild
I live in Melbourne. Where was my invite?
AussieTimp
find yourselves a local game shop to meet up and play if you dont have the room.
Imguralterego
I'm in. Melbournite here. SE suburbs, will travel!
KingSadimRX7
As another person living in Melbourne, these exclusionary tactics are bullshit
scree06
Also Melbourne. I played Joking hazard with two of my friends today
sillyenglishknigit
Dandenong ranges here, but prob too scared to join anyway lol. An invite still woulda been nice though...
sportbilly1979
Wondering where the Melbourne invite was too ... sounds like Imgur Games Night in Melbourne coming up!
RanOutofWit
Also in Melbourne, out at Newport. Would have absolutely showed up, I see that Betrayal at House on the Hill.
stevtom27
Also in Melbourne gonna be playing some tomorrow
Christianflogband
I'm in Bendigo, willing to travel for snacks.
LittleMissAJ
I'm Melbournian. Massive board game fan.
britishdownunder
Looks like they invited the wrong people! I didn't get one either
LordNobleKing
Sorry guys, your invites must have gotten lost in the mail. Unfortunately, my place isn't large enough for all of Melbourne :p
onceuponatimeinwonderland
Imgur session at alchemists refuge?
RanOutofWit
You know, I only just came back to this thread, but I would be very down for this. @OP? We can @ the other melb folks in thread.
ministryofpeace
Mores the pity. Love a good board games night, but live in Brissie these days. Grew up SE Melbourne.
CommanderCaribou
Sucks man, ive been avoiding my friends on discord because i needed a break socially from them. They have really hard attitudes to mesh with
CommanderCaribou
and its been increasingly difficult to sit there and listen to them pander and pityfuck themselves
comicsmakemehappierthanmostpeopledo
Hey pityfucking myself is the only fucking I get and both me and I agree im shitty at it, okay Roger?? Er..Adam?? .. Or is it Bryan?
CommanderCaribou
It's a mess
comicsmakemehappierthanmostpeopledo
Kidding aside though, that is unfortunate, but good you decided to give yourself a break for your own mental health.
JustAnotherLurkerer
Most universities have a tabletop game club that anyone can join (even non-students), a few ~40 yo people turn up just for fun and its great
princessdogface
I’m coming! Where are you!??
poweredbymakeup
I’ll bring snacks, vodka, and mixers!
onewayanus
You have an awesome selection! Where in Melbourne? I'm down
Doctaprocta
I too would join If within driving distance
LeSethX
I see at least 5 games there I havent played before
diregamer
I'm told KDM is good.
LordNobleKing
KDM is fantastic, but takes ages. One session is 1-2 hours, and for the entire game, it's 45 sessions
diregamer
If you were within driving distance, I would be there for every session.
diregamer
And Betrayal at the House on the Hill is my all time favorite.
LordNobleKing
Betrayal is really fun, especially with the expansion. Around 100 different possible Haunts
LeSethX
Ive bought the new Betrayal Legacy but only played the opening Prologue. Still excited to play all the chapters.
RoboticKitty
Me too, I'll bring cookies.
hoooman
Me too, ill bring space cake!
graceinsheepsclothing
Wear your space pants!
wondersquid
I'll bring beer!
MelodiousDissonance
Pizza is on me!
gasmaskguy00
I'll bring an overly competitive personality!
CogPrimus
I'll bring meth!
Realborisboef
Well that escalated quickly
ISIS369
We call it ice here, mate!
spattr
So you won?
laurag711
No the crappy co workers lost
badke
No, sir. You did.

Winner winner chicken dinner
BobTheBuilda
Dang I lost "the game"
TheBreadlord
Well fuck you too.
KnightWang
I just want to point out that you're the worst, and also that I just lost the game.
iamkaren
Fuuuck youuu. Now I gotta go tell all my friends I lost
ZOMGNO
Fuuuuuuuuck. You suck. Where is my Boyfriend, he is about to lose just like me.
AmazonBoxMonster
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Blodesheim
It's been almost a year.
Jadecomet
Oh you asshole
OkIllTryIt
Provide free beer. It's cheap and it works. Won't have to every time.
1stw0rldissues
Will also turn away many.
OkIllTryIt
Could be right
ReginaKasteen
Free pizza is cheaper and works on more people.
Conflict
Ya this is bullshit, I invited people over 2 years ago for my bday, I offered beer and food and only 1 person showed up. Half a dozen others
Conflict
said they would but never did. I had leftovers for over a week.
waitdoyounot
Not going to downvote, but I disagree True friends not only should come but should bring beer, pizza. He already provided a place and games
Zraxus
Sure, but I assume these weren't already people he knew very well.
OkIllTryIt
That was my thought too
RockHoppingYowie
This 100%!
SteelMakesMeHard
Booze is very expensive in Australia
MeAndJulio
Sometimes you gotta spend some money to make some friends
HairySacks
Yeah just buy your friends, works everytime
TlalocTemporal
That's why it works.
turtleneckin
But wages are equitable from uk if buying a 6 pack- plus Aussie beer is better (sitting in Byron drinking stone and wood to be fair)
eppir
Yeah exactly
MATTYBE87
This. I paid 22 bucks for a 6 pack of Great Northern the other day. It's not even that good. Bloody spewin.
LedJet
Jesus, at that price you're better off buying a carton and being the "oi you want a beer?" guy at parties.
britishdownunder
That's what you get for buying Great Northern
FuckGlitter
I paid less than $9 for a 6pack of not your father's root beer, and that shit is pretty tasty and craft beers are about the same
Dohhh
Are u okay?? What kinda place doesnt have a cheap beer??!
seasofconcrete
Thank you for asking, we have our ups and downs. Downs being expensive beer, ups being pay day and drinking all the beer. How are you though
Knicknackpaddywhack
That why I brew my own, plus I make spirits out of anything I can ferment.
seasofconcrete
Gin is apparently quite easy to make, my sister in law made a fantastic batch for me for christmas. I am excited to try myself.
Sfinski
Many places.
ThemotherfuckingTeresaofdeathmetal
Sweden, Norway, Australia, Japan. A LOT of places pays way too much for alocohol
saidthejokertothethief
That's like 5k in board games, they can afford a slab. People should come anyway though
RSJunis
Meanwhile germany with low af beer prices
gibberishDude
Beer =/= spirits. Beer is not really cheap per se, but there is a difference.
Sfinski
Finland
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
Kilju
SightlierGravy
Something tells me Japan offers scarily cheap shochu in large quantities.
ThemotherfuckingTeresaofdeathmetal
I wouldn’t know, all I know is that my German friends were in horror after a Tokyo visit. About 8$ for a small six pack
