Originally, the IGA was a group composed of different gaming interests from around the country who came together to organise an event known as Gaelcon. Since that time, a number of changes have taken place, and the IGA has expanded into other fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of the IGA is to help the gaming community in whatever way possible, be it by organising events, providing information, or offering what assistance it can to others who are working on behalf of the gaming community in Ireland. If you are running an event and need some assistance or some friendly advice please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">News from the IGA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"columns-3 wp-block-post-template is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-layout-1 wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-15229 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-gaelcon category-iga category-news category-pub-quiz tag-events tag-gaelcon tag-iga tag-quiz entry owp-thumbs-layout-horizontal owp-btn-normal owp-tabs-layout-horizontal has-no-thumbnails has-product-nav\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:30px;padding-right:30px;padding-bottom:30px;padding-left:30px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iga.ie\/pub-quiz-wednesday-29th-may\/\" target=\"_self\" >Pub Quiz, Wednesday 29th May!<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Pub quizzes!

For us, \u201cgaming\u201d is a group of different hobbies which share some common links: it\u2019s about having fun, it\u2019s social and it\u2019s a good break from the day-to-day of the real world. Outside of that, there is some contention over what counts as gaming and what doesn\u2019t! The Irish Games Association is primarily involved in organising events involving non-electronic gaming: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Board_game\">Boardgames<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Collectible_card_game\">Collectible Card Games<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Role-playing_game\">Tabletop Roleplaying<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Live_action_role-playing_game\">Live Action Roleplaying<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wargame\">Wargaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roleplaying is a social pastime, based on storytelling and imagining yourself as a character within the story. Wargaming is tactical competition; like a more complicated version of 3D Chess, and includes a wide variety of custom painted miniatures. Collectible Card Games consist of a wide variety, far too many to cover here. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Collectible_card_game\">There\u2019s a decent article about them on Wikipedia<\/a> which is a very useful reference! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, it\u2019s all about people meeting up with their friends and having fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who we are not<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The IGA are not a representative body for the video games industry.
