Sit down. Play.Join the table.
We run free board game meetups every two weeks, themed events through the year and a table that stays open to everyone. Come on your own or bring whoever you like; there's always someone ready to teach you a game.
What we play
Three ways to play
Three tabletop worlds, one community. Whichever pulls you in, there's a table for it.
Board games
From quick fillers for the whole table to deep strategy that runs all night. Hundreds of titles to discover, and someone ready to teach you the rules.
Tabletop RPG
Gather a party and build a story together around the table. One-shots for first-timers, longer campaigns for the regulars.
Trading cards
From casual decks to competitive play. Bring your collection or pick up a new game at the table.
Regular meetups
The next meetup
Back to the table
We gather every two weeks at the Junta de Freguesia de Valongo, the home of our meetups. We set out the games and teach the rules; you bring the urge to play and whoever you want at the table.
