About us
Welcome board gamers! Come and play board games with us! We meet once a week in downtown Helsinki.
We are a casual group so people come and go over the course of the evening. It doesn't matter if you can't make it at exactly 6 PM, but be ready to wait for the next game if you come in late. We play a wide variety of games that usually take 20–90 minutes to finish but do occasionally play more complex games for 2+ hours.
Additionally we sometimes do escape rooms and other fun things in Helsinki. These are sometimes unannounced, so check back often to secure your spot!
