What we’re about
Szia! I’m new to Budapest and hoping to meet up with other English speakers to play board games. You should join if you’re interested in making friends, practicing English, or playing something fun.
Join the BFG - Board Games group on Whatsapp
Our events are a great opportunity to explore the city! We will meet at board game bars and cafe’s across the city a few times a week, so there will always be somewhere new to visit.
We play all kinds of games: modern classics (Ticket to Ride & Catan), cooperative games (Pandemic & The Crew), strategy games (Splendor & Bohnanza), word games (Codenames & Dixit), and everything in between.
I look forward to meeting you and sharing some good times!
