Common Ground Board Games Night 🎲
Details
🤔What Happens at Board Games Night?
For those who are joining in for the first time this a great opportunity to meet new people and have some fun playing board games together. A series of tables are set up with a mix of board games. Find one of the event organisers (photos on their profiles), say hello, take a seat, find some teammates and start playing!
🤔What Games Are Played?
The venue has a wide range of games to choose from, so no pressure to bring your own. Several board games will be set-up in advance by the owner, so plenty of choice. Find a table, some other Stirling Social Activites Group members and join in. Games are not of the Monopoly/Scrabble variety, generally more modern. Steve the owner is very patient and will explain the rules if necessary.

📍 Location and Meeting Point
This Meetup event is hosted in the big room at Common Ground Games which is on Cowane Street near the centre of Stirling (between William Hill and Stirling Tyres, opposite Vincenzo’s Fish and Chips). Look for the Stormtrooper painted on the wall!
It's very easy to find us when you arrive at Common Ground Games. Go along the covered walkway, in the main door (buzzer will sound) and straight ahead through the double glass doors into the big room. Once you are in the building the meeting point is inside the big room, look for the welcoming event organisers (photos on the Meetup app). If for any reason you are unable to find the group just message the event discussion on the Meetup app and we can direct you. You can also approach the snack bar and Steve the owner who can point us out to you :)
If using Google Maps to find the location please put in the name of the place (Common Ground Games, Cowane Street) rather than the postcode (FK8 2JR).
