Beer and Board Games - Heidelberg

Friday night rolls around once more, and the pulsing core of the mothership hums in anticipation of us beaming down and filling the back room of the Firebowl with boardgames and cheer. Come join the ragtag band of gamers, empaths, and socialites in our safe little corner of the universe.

Please bring cash as the venue doesn't take cards.

How does it work: Turn up at 7pm. The organisers bring along a selection of board and card games for people to play. We're also very happy if you want to bring along some of your own games! We have a wide variety to choose from, from casual party games to heavy duty strategy.

We're there to help explain rules and set people up with new games (usually 7 - 7:30pm). After that, we'll still be around, but sticking probes in cattle, abducting farmers, and scaring pilots. Our regulars are super-friendly and a very welcoming bunch.

A chilled afternoon, where you can play with some arts and craft materials and have a go at making your own game. Materials will be provided, such as scissors, cardboard, lots of game components & dice etc. I'll be on hand if people want help with themes and mechanics, but I'd like to run this as a fairly, relaxed unstructured afternoon, where people can play and create freely. You're free to make whatever type of game you want, be it card, board, or party.

We will start at 13:00. I can offer a little talk at the start on the basics of designing and planning games, if attendees want, but you're more than welcome to do your own thing.

The event will be in the backroom of the Firebowl Bowling Alley, where we usually host the 'Beer and Boardgames' night. As ever, it helps keep our relationship with the venue sweet if you buy at least a drink or two from them.
