C2.2

03/10/2024 - 07/07/2025

In its 33-year history, Warhammer, the game of fantasy battles has provided a gateway into gaming for generations of players, and it remains one of the most recognisable franchises in the board game industry. Warhammer is a table top battle game which puts platers in command of armies of valiant humans, noble elves, savage orcs, or a variety of twisted and monstrous creatures. Unlike a traditional board game, where players' moves are restricted to defined areas, Warhammer commander pieces freely manoeuvre their units set distances using rulers and resolve shooting and hand-to-hand combat by rolling dice. If you are interested, come and join our Warhammer community. All equipment is provided. 

Dungeons & Dragons

Thursday 16:00 - 17:15

C2.2

03/10/2024 - 24/06/2025

In Dungeons & Dragons, players create characters to join an adventuring party who explore fantasy worlds together as they embark on epic quests and level up in experience. The Dungeon Master is the game's referee and storyteller. There’s no winning or losing in D&D—at least, not in the conventional way. Dungeons & Dragons at its heart, it is a game that focuses on storytelling. Everything is your decision, from what you look like, to how you act, to what happens next. The collective creativity in your D&D game builds stories that you'll tell again and again, ranging from the stuff of legend to absurd incidents that'll make you laugh years later. All equipment provided.
