Casual/Social Board Games at the The Coat and Badge, Putney.
This is an event to play board games which range from light to medium in complexity and last about 15mins to 1.5 hours, depending on the game. It can take about 5-15min to teach, again depending on the game.
I usually advertise which game I am going to bring a few days in advance, in case you want to be familiar with the game(s). Other gamers may bring another selection of games, so be prepared to be surprised on the day.
Attendee numbers are dependent on who can bring and/or teach games and so can vary week to week.
If you have a game(s) that you are willing to teach on the night please do mention this in the chat and/or comments.
Most of us are up for anything!

Here are more general details about the weekly Putney events:
We’re a friendly, social group that regularly play a range of board games and card games. This event has been running since June 2022 and we have a core group of regular gamers but welcome new members who are looking for a games group to play on a regular or fairly regular basis.
Games we play range from, 30min - 1hour games, to the heavier 2-3hour games. We alternate the weeks we play shorter games versus the longer strategy games (check the event title for which type of games are being played).

We like to start on time but if you do arrive late, don’t worry, it may mean you have to wait a bit until the next game starts, but we always try to accommodate where we can. If it's Strategy games night, it is more important that we start on time as the games are longer and we want to finish on time.
If you know you are going to be late please just let us know your eta.
The event is free but please keep in mind that in order to have the space and run the event on a regular basis we need to purchase drinks/food from the venue.
Also, please don’t sign up and not show up. Not only do you take up a spot for someone keen to play games, but we have limited space that we need to reserve with the venue and no-shows jeopardise our relationship with the venue. Thanks for your understanding.
Hope to see you at a games table!!
