About us
Calling all Glaswegian nerds and geeks!
We're looking to hold a monthly get together in Glasgow for like-minded individuals who enjoy all things geeky - Sci-fi, Doctor Who, Star Trek (and Wars!), Harry Potter, Marvel, DC, anime, cosplay, comics, board games etc.
The idea is to meet up, have a drink or two, get to know each other and make some new friends in and around the city.
We also have a Matrix chat room at #geek:glasgow.social (you can join with this invite link: https://glasgow.social/matrix). There are rooms there for board games, gigs, poker, star trek, D&D, tech and all sorts of other interests.
Follow us on the Fediverse/Mastodon at https://glasgow.social/tags/geeksocial (Don't know what that is? It's open source decentralised social media - no corporations involved! Sign up at https://glasgow.social - or any other site - it's all interconnected - like the internet should be!)

Retro games tournament (Multibowl night)
The Gamer Club, 153 Bath Lane, Glasgow, GBJoin us for a night of retro arcade and console games from the 80s and 90s.
In the main room we'll be hosting a special retro gaming tournament of Multibowl. Beginners very welcome! It's a great way to introduce people to the best parts of retro gaming.
What is Multibowl?
Similar to the microgames of WarioWare, Multibowl is a compilation of two-player scenarios culled from 230 commercial games and presented as a minigame competition. The games were first released in the 1980s to mid-90s. Each scenario is presented as a 30-second challenge, and the game awards a point to the first player to complete the objective within the time limit. The first player to ten points wins.
Scenarios include killing the other player in the original Mario Bros. or scoring a goal in Sensible Soccer. Each minigame is introduced with a custom title screen that includes the objective, game's title, and historical metadata (publisher, year).There will also be Mario Kart, Buzz and many other team games set up for you to challenge each other.
We're hosted by The Gamer Club - if you haven't been before, it's a purpose built venue for geek meetups - there is a video games lounge, arcade, kitchen/bar and board game room. It isn't licenced, but you are welcome to bring your own beer/wine (or help yourself to the free teas/coffees). You can get directions here: https://www.thegamerclub.co.uk/gettinghere
Drop any game or tournament requests in the comments and we'll try to make sure we have them ready to go.
