Mother City Meetup (12 September 2026)

JOIN OUR GAME DAY @ DURBANVILLE TOWN HALL LOCAL IS LEKKER EDITION ????

This Heritage Month, we're celebrating everything local!

Zarnia, MeepleVille and Board Game Bargains South Africa (BGBSA) are hosting again, with massive thanks to Level Up Store for their continued sponsorship.

In the spirit of "local is lekker," we're shining a spotlight on homegrown talent local game designers, local artists, and local flavour. Come meet some like-minded people, play some interesting games (bring your own along if you'd like!), discover games made right here in South Africa, and maybe even win some prizes.

And because no proudly South African gathering is complete without good food, our local Rotary group will be firing up the coals with boerie rolls to keep everyone fuelled through the day (before you run off to watch the rugby, if that's your thing).

Demos of some great games available and you're welcome to bring your own of course!
