Join us every two weeks for games night at Benito Lounge in Chorlton! We play everything from casual party games to the latest in cutting-edge strategy. If you don’t have any games yourself, there are usually more games than players at these events so don’t feel you have to bring your own – but please do if you can!
We welcome new players and if you’re new to board games, we’ll be more than happy to explain the rules and get you up to speed.
Typically, 30+ attend (highest attendance so far has been 50) with 5-10 games in progress at any time. Games start throughout the evening and if you can’t make it on time there’s bound to be something starting when you arrive.
It’s a great way to know people and make new friends in a relaxed, booze-optional environment. Exercise those grey cells at the same time as having fun.
Gᴀᴍᴇs Wᴇ Hᴀᴠᴇ Pʟᴀʏᴇᴅ – It depends on what people bring but so far, games have included: Carcassonne; The Search for Planet X; Dune Imperium; Cryptid; Dixit Universel; Code names; Decrypto; Brass: Birmingham; El Grande; Pit; Acquire; Barenpark; Heat-Pedal to the Metal; Beyond the Sun; 6 Nimmt; Imperial; Five Tribes; Pan Am; Pax Pamir; Anomia; 4 Gods; Ra; Whale Riders and many more!
Gᴀᴍᴇs Wᴇ Hᴀᴠᴇ Nᴏᴛ Pʟᴀʏᴇᴅ – Games we wouldn’t tend to play would be things like Monopoly; Kerplunk; Sorry!; Connect4; Hungry Hippos; Cluedo; and Snakes and Ladders. We hope you’d see why when you play the ones we do!
There’s no charge for this event and there’s no need to book, just come along on the night. If you’re game, we are. Hope to see you there!
