Tavern Night: Cards Galore!

Games! Games! Games! Additionally… games! If you want to play it, we (probably) have it! So mark your calendars, adventurers and weary travelers: June 29th from 7pm to 11pm . Come join us for an unforgettable evening of gaming and camaraderie as we host The Autonomy Project’s Tavern Night and dive into the magic of board games, card games, Dungeons & Dragons, and much more! Whether you’re a rogue, cleric, wizard, or warrior, humans of every race, gender, and sexuality are welcomed to a diverse, inclusive games night for which we’ll be busting out all of our favorite card games (okay, some of our favorite card games…) from Fluxx to Uno to Side Effects and a whole lot in between.

Every background is embraced, and every story is celebrated. We’ll be dusting off classic favorites and exploring hidden gems across a number of gaming stations. We’ll have D&D campaigns for you to jump into, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, and an Euchre Table to check out. Adventuring and gaming is hungry work, so naturally, we’ll have a selection of delectable snacks and energizing non-alcoholic drinks to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger!

So join the adventure and grab your tickets soon to secure your spot at the table. Come dressed in whatever attire you feel most comfortable – casual, Renfaire, Festival, Cosplay – and while you’re here, why not try your luck in our Tavern Night raffle? Every adventurer deserves to go home with some extra loot, and fortune favors the bold, right? We can’t wait to see you there!

Bring your fellow adventurers and your lucky dice, and prepare for an evening filled with laughter, competition, and shared tales. Let the dice roll and the cards fall—it’s Tavern Night, and the adventure begins with you!

By volunteering with us you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives, but you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes, and most importantly, collaborative input in what we do here. Your ideas are important to us, and as a volunteer, we want you to feel like you’re part of our community: one that celebrates who you are and supports your journey.


VOLUNTEER WITH US

HIGH POTENTIAL, NO PRESSURES

Our community thrives in a space where countless delightful interactions could happen, but none are obligated to occur. Think of it as “high possibility, low expectations.” Outside of our general requirements of respect, you are under no obligation to interact with anyone in any particular way. This makes our space ideal for new faces and seasoned community members alike.

HIGH POTENTIAL, NO PRESSURES

Our events aren’t the product of one person hosting a party for pay; they’re the result of a community coming together and creating something new. Everyone who attends is expected to co-create: money, time, energy, enthusiasm, work, intention, example, concern and/or awareness. Have ideas, games, art, music to share? Want to bring them to life with us?

A FOUNDATION OF TRUST

Our gatherings are magical because of trust. We fiercely protect each member’s privacy, encourage honest risk communication, and take diligent care of our shared environments. It’s our collective respect and integrity that fortify this safe space.

CLEAR AND PRESENT CONSENT

Upholding consent goes beyond preventing harm; it’s about affirming everyone’s freedom to fully and joyfully agree to their interactions. It’s through this affirmation that our spaces thrive with genuine, unreserved participation.

INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

We’re committed to inclusivity. Our community is a tapestry of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, including all gender identities and expressions. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone’s identity or preferences.

Our space is and always will be wheelchair accessible, with multiple spaces for varying sensory needs.

PLEASE NOTE:

No refunds will be given on ticket purchases. Address is provided to confirmed ticket holders after purchase. Wicked Eden is located on the south side of Columbus, approximately 10 minutes from downtown, and is one block away from a COTA bus stop.
