Do you ever feel like there is just not enough time to play all the games you want to at our regular monthly meetups? Then you need to come to a gaming retreat!

At least once a year, the League of Extraordinary Gamers runs a camp that is chock-full of tabletop gaming fun. All meals and accommodation are provided for in the ticket price, along with access to the ever-expanding LXG gaming library.  If nothing else, there’s no cooking, no cleaning and no shopping for groceries and deciding what’s for dinner. What’s a weekend without any of that worth?

Whether you’re a member or not, everybody’s welcome!  Register at one of the events below.

Winter Retreat 2023 @ QCCC Tamborine (WEC Centre)
Jul 21 @ 4:00 pm – Jul 23 @ 2:00 pm

WHAT IS WINTER RETREAT?
In a nutshell, Winter Retreat is a 3 day gaming holiday held at a Queensland Recreation Facility. For the past 20 years, LXG (and LXG in previous incarnations) has run an annual getaway weekend (open to club members and non-club members) for the purpose of playing tabletop games. This is purely a fun, social weekend with no organised events or competitive tournaments.

Places are currently limited to 70 people. Everyone is welcome – the kids have a great time!

WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS?
The camp is available to use from 4pm on Friday. Many people take the day off from work and arrive sometime that afternoon. Others travel up after work and get there around 8pm. There is the opportunity to car pool if you haven’t got transport. You stay at the facility until 2pm on the Sunday and then head on back home.

In between is a whole lot of gaming, especially those longer games you don’t often get time for (e.g. Twilight Imperium). There are also some popular ‘parlour’ games for large groups (e.g. Ultimate Werewolf). As well as gaming there is usually a pilgrimage to the local tourist traps to buy wine and local produce.

All meals are included in the price:

  • Friday dinner
  • Saturday breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner
  • Sunday breakfast, morning tea and lunch
  • Bottomless tea, coffee, juice and pre-mixed cordial

If you have special dietary requirements they can be catered for, just let us know in advance.
