The Art of Destruction

Got plans on Sunday? If not, would you consider making yourself a cardboard suit of war and having a bit of a barney? Boxwars is a global craze that started in Melbourne, where you create elaborate cardboard buildings, armour — maybe even whole armies — play games and complete challenges with your constructs, then in a moment of complete carnage, have a battle and destroy it all. Boxwars' first Brum expedition is this Sunday at Impact Hub (where Zine Fest is also taking place). Get making at the drop-in session from 1.30pm until 5.30pm. After which, the courtyard and car parks around the site will become a mini wonderland of cardboard games, with plenty of music, food and tournaments, plus a jolly good wallop of destruction. Until 8.30pm. The event is free but register your attendance for The Big Showdown.
