This Week’s Feature Game is: Ofrenda
We have an awesome lineup of games for 2025 but this week’s feature game is extra special. Not only does it look like a great game but it won’t be available to buy in the UK until two days after our event – so you could be one of the first people to own a copy of Ofrenda, just by coming along and trying out the game this Tuesday.
Ofrenda is a card drafting and pattern building game for 1–4 players that is themed around the Mexican Dead of the Dead. Prepare your Ofrenda (the altar to honour those who have passed away) arranging the offerings to do the best you can to fulfil their wishes. An interesting and challenging puzzle with a vibrant artsytle that should make for a great prize!
Tabletop Tuesday brings you some of the best and friendliest gaming in London. If you’re looking to meet new friends, play games in a welcoming community and be in with a chance to win fantastic prizes, come along to Loading (Stoke Newington) on a Tuesday evening for one of London’s best game nights.
Our crew will help you find a game, make friends and have lots of fun. Just ask for Tim at the bar and we’ll help you get settled in. You're welcome to bring your own games or take advantage of the fantastic library of games we have at the bar – all for free!
Feature Game: Each week we feature a different game. There is usually the opportunity to win a copy of this game just by playing it on the night. Everyone that plays the feature game is entered into a free prize draw near the end of the evening. We’ll be increasing the frequency of this back to a weekly basis as soon as our stocks allow.
Regular Features: Note that every Tuesday we will now be featuring casual play for Star Wars Unlimited – with official and non-official prizes available (while stocks last.) Training also available for any Padawans looking to learn the game.
(If you want to play other CCG games such as MTG, you are also welcome to do so. More organised play is available on other evenings, but welcome to play at TtT.)
Also, note that every 1st Tuesday of the month is our Social Night Special: featuring:
• Blood on the Clocktower: Free to play and beginners welcome.
• Star Wars Unlimited Sealed Draft Event: £15 Entry (but you get more than £15 worth of cards.) Places are (somewhat) limited so please let us know in advance if you would like to join.
