Half Term Board Game Academy
26TH / 27TH / 28TH MAY
Has your young gamer been wanting to learn new board games, but you don't know where to begin? We can help!
This May Half Term we'll be running three Board Game Academy Sessions: Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Hive. Each session will be 1.5 hours long, and we'll teach the game from scratch, so it's accessible for all players.
Catan: It's one of the most-played board games for a reason, and makes a great intro to strategy / resource-management games.
Ticket to Ride: Another gateway game great for families, Ticket to Ride has you adventuring across the United States or Europe (or even the London Underground!).
Hive: Hive is an abstract, strategic, tile-placement game with many similarities in gameplay to chess. If you're a chess player, Hive is a super fun alternative!
Our Board Game Academy sessions are exclusively for young folks aged 8-12. Please note that parents must be present for the entirety of the session.

Blood on the Clocktower
BACK SOON!
Blood on the Clocktower is back, and our storytellers are more devious than ever!
ON THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT...During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day. Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?
Join us to play Blood on the Clocktower, where we'll have two devious storytellers hosting simultaneous games for our courageous players. Tickets include a cocktail or mocktail to get you into the Ravenswood Bluff atmosphere! Open to experienced and beginners villagers alike. If there are enough folks who have played before, our storytellers may run a more advanced game.

Social Gaming
NEXT EVENT: WEDNESDAY 13TH MAY
Join us for an evening of gaming, where you can make new friends (or enemies, depending on your board game prowess!). Our social gaming nights are all about building community, and bringing together the like-minded folks of Maidenhead. Whether you arrive with a group or fly solo, you’ll find a welcoming table waiting for you.
Games will be chosen by our host, and they'll also seat attendees based on game preference, so you can jump right into the fun without any awkward “where do I sit” moments. If you’re looking to meet new people, try something different, or just have some good old-fashioned fun, pull up a chair!

From Magic: The Gathering to Lorcana, Riftbound, Pokémon, and beyond, all communities are welcome! Whether you’re here to test a new build or simply enjoy the atmosphere, this is the perfect chance to connect with other TCG players. It's possible that these events will develop into single-game events, e.g., specific Magic or Pokemon nights, but for now, come along no matter what you play, and join the fun!
