Therapeutic Boardgames

The compromise and responsibility that come with adult life makes it easy to leave your inner child on the shelf. So we think it's important to learn to love your shelf.

Our untrained, unlicensed, and frankly erratic, gaming support therapists are on hand to bring a little warmth to otherwise-lonely Friday nights by providing a friendly, safe space to play some games, meet some people, and enjoy a few laughs at the end of the week.

Please bring CASH to pay for your food and drinks with.

How does it work: We meet at 19:00, in the back room of Firebowl bowling (it's got cold again!). Our gaming-therapists bring along a selection of board and card games for people to play. We're also very happy if you want to bring one of your own games! We have wide variety, from fun, casual party games, to heavy duty medieval agriculture simulators.

We're there to help explain rules and set people up with new games (usually 7 - 7:30pm), so don't worry if you're a newbie. After that, we'll still be around, but probably playing something ourselves. Our little regulars are a lovely bunch, and very welcoming.
