On November 11, Merchants Prosperity hosted a lively Singles’ Board Game Party, giving everyone a chance to meet new friends through games and say goodbye to spending Singles’ Day alone. The event took place at a board game club on Bourke Street, and from the moment the games started, the atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and filled with laughter.

The best part? It was completely free! Attendees enjoyed unlimited board games, Mahjong matches, and engaging social mini-games. International students and young professionals alike joined in, creating a diverse and vibrant crowd. Whether they were board game veterans or complete beginners, everyone quickly found like-minded friends. After just a few rounds, any sense of unfamiliarity disappeared.

The Mahjong tables were a hit, with participants showcasing their skills while casually chatting about life and experiences. Within just a few games, strangers became friends, sharing jokes and lively conversations. The social mini-games helped break the ice even further, making it easy for people to connect naturally. Many attendees mentioned, “I came here alone, but I left with new friends!”

Beyond just games, the event provided an opportunity for meaningful conversations. Between rounds, participants talked about studies, work, and future plans, replacing any feelings of loneliness with a sense of warmth and connection.

This 11.11 Singles’ Board Game Party was more than just a fun night out—it was a genuine social experience that helped international students feel a stronger sense of community while living abroad. At Merchants Prosperity, we’re committed not only to providing professional study and migration services but also to creating opportunities for people to relax, connect, and enjoy life outside of studies and work.

As the night wrapped up, many attendees said it was one of the best ways to spend Singles’ Day. Some found close friends, while others even found romance! A huge thank you to everyone who joined and made this event so special. We look forward to hosting more exciting social gatherings in the future—see you at the next one!
