The Beers and Board Games Club of Columbus will host our 10th Annual 24 Hour Board Game Marathon for Nationwide Children’s Hospital at Olentangy River Brewing Company on Saturday, November 2 from 11am through 10am on Sunday, November 3. Admission is $20 with 100% going to the kids.
The 24 Hour Board Game Marathon features hundreds of tabletop board games — from classics to the latest con and Kickstarter releases, plus a stacked silent auction, the always-entertaining meta game, a tasty rotation of food trucks and of course delicious coffee and beer from ORBC, including a special beer brewed in collaboration with our club, Viktory Points Viking Ale— this year we'll also have a barrel-aged batch in cans available to-go.
Attendees are welcome to drop in to play for a few hours, or stay for the entire 24 hour event, which usually brings out 200-250 gamers. Attendees will be given a wristband to come and go from the marathon. Please note that while this event is “for the kids” it is not intended FOR kids – adults 18+ only, please.
While this has always been an open gaming event, this year we are also adding some scheduled games — you can view the current event schedule and sign up for games here: https://tabletop.events/conventions/10th-annual-24-hour-board-game-marathon/schedule#?query=&filter_liked=0&day_id=&eventtype_id=&startdaypart_i
Those interested in signing up for scheduled events will need to register for a free badge online and will then need to pay the $20 admission fee at the event. If you are not interested in registering for any of these scheduled events, you do not need to reserve a badge on Tabletop.Events to attend the 24 Hour Marathon and participate in open gaming.
Notes: Cash or Venmo preferred for the $20 cover so we don’t lose funds to processing fees, but cards will be accepted. Additional parking is available in the neighboring Harrington Industrial Plastics, Meade & Associates, and All About Kids Child Care parking lots.
