The Beers and Board Games Club of Columbus will host our 12th Annual 24 Hour Board Game Marathon for Nationwide Children’s Hospital at Olentangy River Brewing Company starting at 11am on Saturday, November 7!

The 24 Hour Board Game Marathon features hundreds of tabletop board games — from classics to the latest con and Kickstarter releases, plus a stacked silent auction, the always-entertaining meta game, a tasty rotation of food trucks and of course delicious beer and coffee from ORBC including our collaboration brew, Viktory Points Viking Ale! About 250 attendees are expected to turn out and help raise over $10,000 for the kids! Donations in support of our fundraising campaign can be made to anyone on our roster here: https://www.extra-life.org/team/bbg.

The Beers and Board Games Club has raised a lifetime total of over $100,000 for Nationwide Children’s Hospital. In addition to the annual 24 Hour Marathon, the Beers & Board Games Club hosts meetups every week at Columbus craft breweries and has raised more than $75,000 for other local charitable organizations. 

Thank you to 2025’s 24 Hour Marathon’s generous host venue Olentangy River Brewing Company, to our food truck partners Mordisco, Ajumama and Pitabilities, to all of our volunteers, and to the businesses who donated auction packages including IV Studios, Pawp Culture, Thunderwing Brewing, Campfire Brewing, Restoration Games, CGE, AllPlay, Origins Game Fair and Buckeye Game Fest. We couldn’t do it without you! For the kids!
