Board Games by The Bay – Auckland – 19-20 May 2018

What

Join us for a day or two of board gaming fun!  Board Games By The Bay (BGBTB) is a series of epic board gaming events that have been running in New Zealand since 2011, currently with two annual events in Auckland (May and November) and one in Hamilton (August).

These events bring together enthusiasts and players new to the scene in a relaxed, fun environment. Participants enjoy catching up with old friends and making new ones, trying out different games or relaxing with familiar ones, and entering the free competitions.

There will be a library stocked with all kinds of games for you to try, and many people bring their own games and invite others to join them. You are most welcome to bring your own games along. We have a team of great volunteers (our friendly RedShirts) who are experts at teaching a wide variety of games to new players.
