What we're about
Like playing modern board or card games? This is the group for you!
Whether you’ve just tried Wingspan, regularly take a Ticket to Ride or are just looking for something a bit different than Clue, Monopoly or Risk, our meetups welcome all gamers. Join us online or in person at masks required and masks optional events!
At our in-person meetups you can play games across a wide selection of themes and interests; as a family, in a group or head to head. You can try one of this year’s nominees for the internationally recognized Games of the Year. Or join in playing many of the games from BoardGameGeek’s hot lists including casual/ family games and strategy games.
You can bring along a favourite game, or use the comments field to request a game you’d like to play. Another attendee may be able to bring and/or teach. Most of our events are presented by Game Hosts from our annual Convention FallCon (www.Fallcon.com). Hosts can help match you with great games and find other players. Format is drop-in but start times for games varies.
Upcoming events (4+)

Monday Night Games is back!
This is a free, drop in event, open to everyone: from beginners through to experienced players!
The store board game library is available for use, or feel free to bring your own games if you have something specific in mind. Arrange a game beforehand, or just show up on the night and ask to join in with a game that's starting.
You don't have to be here at 6pm to play, you can arrive later, or leave earlier, whatever fits your schedule!
There's no age requirement, but minors should be accompanied by an adult.

In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, a demon walks amongst you…
New players are always welcome! There will be a rules explanation and a beginner friendly game. If you would like to brush up on the rules before the game, you can check out this great video from the Pandemonium Institute. Blood on the Clocktower is an inclusive game that can accommodate players of all ability and skill levels. We pride ourselves on being a safe space for the LGBTQ2IA+ community!
Join the Clocktower Calgary community Discord server!
Blood on the Clocktower is a supernatural murder mystery social deduction game for between 8 to 20 players. Some will receive scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight evil or protect the innocent. But the demon and their evil minions will attempt to destroy the town, spreading lies, breeding suspicion, and sowing chaos.
Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village?
What makes this game stand apart from other social deduction games?
- All players are in it for the entire game, staying on as influential ghosts even if their characters die! In Blood on the Clocktower, death is not the end.
- Every player has their own character, each with their own special ability. No two games are ever alike!
- Drunkenness, madness, and the odd poisoning are common. With these unique features you can never trust anyone completely, not even yourself.
- If you arrive late to a game, you can enter after it's started as a powerful Traveler character with unusual talents and questionable allegiances.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
