What we’re about

Welcome to Friday Night Games at the Cape Town Science Centre! 🎲

We’re a friendly and open group of board game lovers who meet most Friday evenings to play everything from party games and family classics to modern strategy games and hidden gems.

🧠 New to board games? No problem—our events are beginner-friendly, and you can always join a table and learn as you play.

🎉 What to expect:

  • A wide variety of games—anything from Codenames to Scythe
  • Friendly players, from newcomers to hobby veterans
  • A casual, social vibe where everyone’s welcome

📍 Venue:
Cape Town Science Centre, 370B Main Road, Observatory

đźš— Parking & Entrance Info:

  • Ample parking in the parking lot
  • Enter through the right-hand gate (the left one is usually locked)
  • The main entrance door may look closed, but it's usually open—try it!
  • We're on the top floor, in the boardroom on the left

đź•– Timing:
Most people arrive around 19:00, and while some RSVP here, many regulars do not use Meetup—so expect a solid crowd even if the RSVP numbers are low.

Feel free to bring your own games, snacks, and friends—we’d love to meet you!
