Manchester Board Game Legends

We meet upstairs at the Old Monkey on Portland Street every other Monday. Games start throughout the evening so get there before 7:30pm and you should be fine.

We play everything from casual party games to complex strategy and euros. Everyone is welcome from beginners to hardcore enthusiasts. There's always a rules explanation and we try to help new players as they play. If you come alone or with friends we'll try to match you up with players of a suitable level, as required.

You can see photos from some of our previous events here.

We're a community-led night and though we usually have plenty of games, we can never get too many - especially games people know well enough to teach - so bring 'em, if you have 'em!

Just a reminder for this month's the Cheadle Board Room. Full details are here on Facebook. This event isn't organised by the "Manchester Board Game Legends" meetup group so please check the CBR event listing on Facebook for full details.

This is probably the region's longest standing (over 10 years) and biggest free to attend event, with over 80 gamers on any one weekend, spread over two floors on the Upper Room Cafe in Cheadle. They close the entrance doors at mid afternoon and attracting someone's attention to let you in can be somewhat of an issue, since the event takes place on the first floor, so make sure you join their whatsapp group!

The entrance is to the rear of the Tesco Express on Wilmslow Road in Cheadle via the Upper Room Café. Food is very reasonably priced. The cafe stops taking orders around 2pm. There are plenty of very high quality cafés, nearby restaurants and takeaways nearby and CBR will let you bring in food that you've bought elsewhere, once the Upper Room closes.

It is easy to get to by car and, in many cases, will take less time than getting into the city centre. Park in the Massie Street Car Park for easiest access. Public transport is probably easiest via train from the town centre, but it's important to head to GATLEY station, rather than Cheadle.

If you type Cheadle Board Room into google maps, it will give you directions.

Join us for a lively night of fun, food & friendly company at Benito Lounge in Chorlton, every second Tuesday 😁
