Board Games Society
Society
Hello and welcome! You've found your way to the page for all things boardy and gamey at Portsmouth. We're so glad you've made it.
We are a non-paid, no-stress society devoted to the playing and enjoyment of board games. Regardless of how committed to the board games grind you are, the course you're on, or how many deadlines you have due next week, we always meet on a Sunday morning (11am start) in the Union building. Come November, we will be in the temporary Union building. To keep up to date please join our Discord server for all the most up to date news :)
Our aim is to create a stress-free environment for all our members to unwind and play. As a society we have a huge range of games of all genres and difficulties, but members are encouraged to bring in anything from home. We are always willing to play the weird and wonderful games that others bring in! Aside from our Sunday meetings, we have regular socials to the Board Game Lounge, DICE (however sponsored it may sound, we cannot recommend them highly enough to fellow board game enjoyers).
If you are worried that you must attend every session, you don't need to. We are here when you want to be here. Stop by whenever you want. We are not the type to turn down a new game!
If you vehemently don't want to use Discord, then we are also very active on our Instagram! We think it is very cool and you should totally follow us :0
If any of this is sounding like the best thing since sliced bread then please don't hesitate to drop by. Our first social of this year will be Sunday the 29th of September in Room 1 at the Union. From then on we'll be non-stop, every Sunday, every week. When we move location in November we will post on our Discord server, linked below as website.
We look forward to seeing you at the tables, and as always, stay classy gamers B-)
