For everyone and anyone who wants to play boardgames, role-playing games and trading card games There is room at our table for everyone. A0111833C

Room at the Table Inc is a Not For Profit community organisation that offers a range of non sport geek subculture activities aimed at reducing social isolation by building connections and community, improving social inclusion for all. We have room at the table for everyone and are open to everyone in Benalla Rural City, north east Victoria and beyond. RATT is a safe place for all kinds of people to have fun and build connections with others. Room at the Table Inc meets on land belonging to the Bangerang, Yorta Yorta, Taungurung & Waywurru. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging and we acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded. At Room at the Table Inc we've been using the phrase "non-sport, geek-subculture activities" to describe the activities we run. Currently these activities are all casual and just for fun, although there's always the possibility of running competitions and tournaments. As we grow, we hope to be able to add even more activities to our list. Boardgames: Our focus is modern boardgames like Catan, Wingspan, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Dixit and more, but we'll also play games like Backgammon, Chess, Mahjong, Cluedo, Scrabble, Uno etc. Trading Card Games (TCGs): We play casually Magic: the Gathering Commander and hope to be starting up more TCGs when we get more volunteers - Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Flesh and Blood, One Piece, Elestrals and Digimon are on the list. Tabletop Roleplaying Games: At RATT we use a variety of systems - D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Kids on Brooms, Kids on Bikes, Blades in the Dark and more. You can play as pretty much anything - animals, air benders, wizards, elves, dwarves, monsters, fighters, merchants... There can be magic and swords, mysteries to solve, space to explore, ghosts to help, grand balls to plan, apocalypses to survive, high sea adventures and more. Face to face and digital

Mischievous Makings: every 4 weeks we get together to work on our current creative project and connect with each other. CyberRATT: every 4 weeks we gather together to play digital games like Jack Box, Mario Kart, Mario Party etc

RATT Studio: We are learning the basics of filming, script writing, subtitling and editing. It's also where we make videos of unboxing boardgames, how to plays, people playing boardgames, run digital TTRPGs, make podcasts, interview people, livestream stuff and more.

We're not much into horseracing at RATT, but Cup Day is a public holiday, so we're gonna play some boardgames as part of The Benalla Festival 2026.

And we'll be firing up the BBQs outside the RATT rooms for a FREE BBQ!!!
It's nothing too fancy, just the sausage in bread kind of BBQ.

Sausages will be gluten free, and there will be gluten free bread as well as well as the usual, and the spread will be lactose free.
There might even be onions, but no promises.

Last year's event had 29 people show up to play games and eat BBQ, and that meant we almost had no room at the table!

So this year we are teaming up with the Benalla Gliding Club and spreading out into the club rooms as well, and that means we'll have plenty of room and tables even if 60 people turn up!

⚡For catering purposes please book your spot here https://events.humanitix.com/bbq-and-boardgames

🎲 When? Cup Day, Tuesday 3rd November, 11am-4pm
🎲 Where? The RATT Rooms & Benalla Gliding Club
🎲 Cost? FREE
🎲 Hosts? various.

RATT has room at the table for everyone and everyone is welcome no matter the colour of skin, religion, gender identity, sexuality, age, ability.

Don't worry if you've not played many boardgames, we have a large range of games available suitable for a range of ages and experience levels - easy to complicated, cooperative, versus, strategic, luck based, party, and more.

This Beginners D&D at Room at the Table Inc is for Kids & Carers.

At RATT Kids are 14 & under, and Carers can be parents, grandparents, guardians, cousins, etc. as long as they are 18+ and are the "responsible supervising adult".

While Carers don't have to play, it's more fun when they do, and a great way to build connections with the kid you're with.

In this RATT Beginners D&D course you get the opportunity to create a character and use them in some short adventures where you'll learn about the different mechanics of D&D and TTRPGs in general.

The Beginners D&D course runs for approximately 6 x 3 hour sessions.

Each session builds upon the last and by the end of the course you have created a character, done improv and roleplay, used battle maps, magic, modifiers, dice, and even leveled up through a series of short RATT made adventures.

🎲 GM: Carla
🎲 SYSTEM: Dungeons & Dragons 5e
🎲 GENRE: Fantasy, Adventure
🎲 RATING: PG
🎲 GROUP: 3 to 6 players, 14 & under plus Carer (responsible adult)
🎲 SCHEDULE: Friday fortnight, 5-8pm, starting on the 23rd.
🎲 COST: $8 per person, $20 per family
