Welcome to a long tradition of board gaming in Cork! Our focus is to play and explore the modern and inventive catalog of games available, rather than revisiting old classics such as Monopoly. We play every Monday at 6:30PM, and late comers are more than welcome if you can't make it at that time. We play upstairs at Bodega (44-45 Cornmarket St, Centre, Cork, T12 W27H).
We are happy to have both experienced board gamers and new comers alike. If you're unfamiliar with the games that we are playing, we will be more than happy to explain the rules (Or learn them from you if you know one we don't)! The spirit of the night is friendly competition and laughter, making friends and sharing in an experience. It isn't required to sign up on Meetup in order to join us (We'll be happy you're here regardless! The vast majority of attendees don't actually sign up, though we like it when people do simply for the metrics). There's no future commitment, and you can come as frequently as you please when it suits you.
A library of games is provided for everyone's use here. That said, the event works best when people bring their own games to share as well. If you have a game or two that you are happy providing for the evening, we would be enthusiastic and grateful for that!
The price of entry is to purchase something from the venue. Bodega is quite happy to let us use the space as long as we are providing them custom. They sell drinks (both alcoholic and non alcoholic, including soft drinks and coffee), as well as having a dinner menu. As such, please be aware that outside food or drinks are NOT permitted at the event. We ask that people keep the space clean, and do their best to minimize the extra work their staff needs to do. In addition, due to this being a pub setting, we can only accept attendees that are at least 18 years of age.
A small list of games we frequently play to give an example:
-Codenames
-Saboteur
-Via Magica
-Skull
-Mysterium
-One Night Werewolf
