Rock up. Grab a drink. Play something good.
The Art Syndicate's weekly games night has been running for over two years. The regulars keep coming back. That's the whole story, really.
Come as you are. If you've got $10 to spend at the bar, that's what keeps the collection growing. A wine, a beer, something non-alcoholic, and you're set for the night. If money's tight, just show up. We'd rather have you in the room.
External food is welcome. For the after-work crowd, we often end up eating together anyway.
Lisa and Saxon know the collection inside out. Tell them what you're after, something fast and social, a deep strategy game, or you've never touched a board game in your life, and you'll be sorted in five minutes. We've got titles that'll become new favourites and rare gems for the dedicated gamers. The room fills up with people who came once and never stopped coming back. Solo, with friends, or somewhere in between, it works either way. Come find out why. 🎲
