We Play Advanced Board Games

Step into the deep end of strategy.

If light party games leave you restless and you thrive on table-sprawling boards, crunchy decisions, and rules you can really sink your teeth into, this night is built for you.

The Manitoba Open Tabletop Society is opening the vault of our 120+ game library and dedicating Friday nights to the heavy hitters. Games with real bite, long arcs, and the kind of complexity that rewards focus and clever play. No filler, no “warm-ups,” no boredom traps. Just high-intensity strategy with people who love it as much as you do.

Up to three tables run each Friday, each featuring a game in the medium-heavy to heavy range, usually clocking in at 2–4 hours. Arrive early to get matched to a table, learn the rules, and settle in.

Examples you might see in rotation:
• Root
• Spirit Island
• Tzolk’in
• Feast for Odin
• Terraforming Mars
• Great Western Trail: New Zealand
• Ark Nova
• Oath
• Vast
• Apiary
• Scoville
• Wingspan
• Who Goes There?
• And many more from our deep collection

Bringing your own game? Perfect. Show up early and grab a table before they’re gone.

If you want complexity, challenge, and long-form strategy with a friendly, experienced group… this is your Friday.
