What we’re about
Hello budding/seasoned board gamers! We are a group of people who love to meet up and play board games. We normally play a wide range of games from High European strategy games like Agricola, Nemesis, etc, to the very light fun games like 6 Nimmit, Pictomania, etc. depending on our moods. Don’t worry if you’re new to the games - we are great explainers and will try to find a game to match your level.
We meet weekly at the Bedford Public House, (normally upstairs in the Cocktail bar). We aim to start at 6pm, but this isn't hard and fast and go on until about 10 - 10:30, or just whenever you feel you've scratched your gaming itch! It isn't a problem if you can't be there right on 6pm, but please be aware that if you do turn up late games might already be in progress, and you might have to wait to join one. Please also remember to book in with the host for the evening, so they can mark you down as attended.
Everybody is welcome and there is always a host on duty to assist you get into a game or tell you more about our group. Also we have seasoned members who have been to a good few events, they will (hopefully) be wearing a badge, so you could always ask them for info.
A few rules to follow;
We don’t cater for two player games; we don’t really have the room for them.
We don’t really play the older classics, like Monopoly or Scrabble; other clubs are around for these.
We play for fun; winning is nice, but it isn’t everything.
Try to treat others as you would like to be treated; we’ve all got a passion for games, maybe different games but still games.
If you can’t make it change your RSVP; this allows others on the waitlist to attend, constant violation of this will result in an suspension.
Be respectful of the pub; they are letting us have the room for no fee, please if you can get a drink, it helps us keep the room. Please be respectful to the staff, do not go behind any bar, even if it’s to just get water, change the air-con, or anything, ask a host or staff member to do it.
Other than that you're free to bring and play whatever you wish, if people are up to playing of course. Have fun and enjoy yourself.
