At last night's Board Game Social, held on what I once heard on a radio quiz is the unluckiest day of the year (although I can now find no verification of that "fact" anywhere!), we were lucky enough to be blessed by the presence of a large and lovely and lively bunch of players willing to take their chances and pit their wits at a wide variety of tabletop titles.
The throng of enthusiastic gamers included three familiar faces who were joining us for the first time in a while - great to see you again Gandhi, Matt and Ruban - and three brand-new faces joining us for the first time ever - a huge LeadBelt Games Arena WELCOME to Natasha, Becca and Andy - we look forward to seeing you all at many more sessions in 2024
We got started early for yesterday's Sunday Social, and the turnout was fantastic! Many thanks to everyone who came to spend some of their New Year's Eve playing games with us... and kudos to those who did the whole 10-hour session (and were still hankering for more)!
Unfortunately, the session had to come to a close at 9pm, allowing folks to get out to parties or home to family and friends. But there was plenty of talk about the possibility of us all seeing in the New Year together at LeadBelt, so I think we'll probably look at planning a full-on New Year party at the end of 2024 (but don't quote me on that).
Calling all Nottingham gamers! Disney Lorcana, the brand new TCG by Ravensburger, welcomes everyone from seasoned collectors to curious newcomers. But its roots lie in 30 years of trading card tradition, built by games like Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon. Worried you'll be left behind? This guide will get you up to speed on gameplay, collecting, and finding your local Lorcana community!
Lovely, vibrant gaming evening at the Arena yesterday - our Thursday Board Game Social crowd sharing space with wargamers, skirmishers and an RPG group - we love it when the place is buzzing with tabletop gamers of all kinds rubbing shoulders together and sharing their passions!
Alongside the D&D group and people playing Mordheim, Ronin and Warhammer 40K, Legions Imperialis and Kill Team, the Board Game Social welcomed three brand-new visitors (great to see you Lotte, Dan and Paul, and look forward to more sessions to come) and enjoyed playing...
Yesterday's Sunday Board Game Social was yet another well-attended session in which a staggering number and variety of games were enjoyed by our avid bunch of players. It's a perfect way to spend a Sunday!
Thanks again to everyone who comes along and makes these sessions so warm and wonderful. We have more room at our tables for new players, and our regulars are incredibly friendly and accommodating, so if you're into board games (or fancy finding out why some of these games are so beloved) you should definitely come and join one of our sessions - Thursdays from 5 pm and Sundays from 12 noon.
