Designed for adults aged 18 years and over, this group explores modern strategy games such as Wingspan, Dorfromantik, and Bomb Busters. These games focus on clever decisions, creativity, and teamwork rather than luck, making them perfect for both experienced players and complete beginners alike.
Each monthly session features different games, keeping things fresh, social, and exciting. With a mix of competitive and collaborative play, there’s something to suit every personality — whether you enjoy thoughtful strategy, working together as a team, or simply relaxing with friendly people around the table.
As the group grows, we hope to offer both competitive and co-operative tables during each session, giving participants the opportunity to choose the style of play they enjoy most. Above all, this is an inclusive and welcoming program where everyone can join in and have fun.
