About us
We are dedicated to playing board games and card games and having fun. Everyone is welcome to join in and bring along their own games.
Boardgames have evolved a lot in the past decade or so. So you might get a bit of a shock if you're just used to older games like Monopoly, Cluedo and Scrabble. But board games are now more fun than ever and there's constantly more and more inventive and wonderful games coming out every month. Some of the games may look a bit daunting if you're new to modern board games, but feel free to ask one of the organisers and they'll be able to recommend something that might be a good introduction.
And of course there's always a place for the classic board games too.
