Join the National Library of Australia’s very own board game enthusiasts Stuart Baines and Aaron Minehan as they take a look at some of the unique board games hiding away on the shelves at the Library. Not only do they have hundreds of board games dating as far back as the 1700s, the National Library is also home to the world’s LARGEST board game, “World in Flames”. They even have the Guinness Book of World Records certificate to prove it!
Stuart and Aaron will chat to illustrator and game designer Sam Milham about the board game landscape in Australia and the role of games generally, especially given our lockdown circumstances in 2020.
Whether you’re a Scrabble master, Monopoly tycoon or you’re the one to beat at Ticket to Ride, there’s a board game for everyone.
While the Library can’t loan out the board games in their collection, you can explore many of them online via their Catalogue, or request to view them at the National Library.
Join us for this entertaining discussion on the National Library’s Facebook and YouTube channels at 8:00 pm (AEST) on Wednesday 26 August.
