Dungeons and Flagons have been spreading the joy of board gaming throughout Manchester, taking over spaces like The Beagle, The Salutation and Cloudwater tap room for evenings of campaigns, cards and Catan (amongst many, many other games). This February, they’re extending the fun for two days packed with action in their Boardgame Weekender.

Turn up on your own and join an in-depth campaign game or bring a bunch of pals and try a new game none of you have heard of before. There will be a collection of friendly hosts around to help you choose and get playing games in no time. Dungeons and Flagons have an inhouse games library with hundreds of titles spanning from family classics to the hottest modern games, so you’re bound to find something to enjoy.

After the day’s play you can expect appropriately themed afterparties. These have previously featured, game themed pub quizzes, film screenings and sci fi / fantasy bingo.

This event is open to all, not just students so don’t be put off by the venue.
