Newcastle Gamers

Playing Euro games, Board games, Wargames and Card games across the North East of England. We are a very friendly club of mixed ages, mixed experience and mixed interests but we come together twice a month to share our common passion for gaming. A large selection of games is always on offer, but do please bring your own.

Here are photos of a very few of the games played at the latest club session, held last weekend.

Our next meeting is on Saturday 25 May, starting at 4.30pm. It will be at the normal venue of Christ Church Hall in Shieldfield. It is free for new members and £3 for regulars. This is the same weekend as the UK Games Expo; several club members are travelling down to Birmingham for that, but we’ll still have many people around for gaming in Newcastle.

International TableTop Day, 30th March 2013

by olly on March 24, 2013

To mark the first anniversary of the TableTop YouTube show, there will be events held all over the world to get people to play more games. Here’s Felicia Day explaining what it’s all about:

We’ll be hosting one of these events; this date coincides with our normal last-Saturday-of-the-month meeting, but for this occasion we will be holding an all-day gaming sesssion, starting at 10am, and all money raised will be donated to charity.

We are listed on the TableTop Day site and should appear on the map showing event locations, but their website is more than a little unreliable, so you’ll be lucky if the map loads. You’re slightly more likely to be able to find us on the list of all events, but that doesn’t always work either.

You can let us know you’re coming by signing up to our Google+ event page, but you’ll be just as welcome if you arrive unannounced. Details of how to find us are on our location page.

The last session had been the quietest in a while, as snowy weather kept some people at home. There was more snow last weekend, but it didn’t arrive until the early hours of Sunday morning, and we were back to having more than thirty people gaming on Saturday afternoon and evening. A wide range of games were played; pictures of a few of them are shown below. To see a list of what was played have a look on BoardGameGeek, for detailed reports on some of the games have a look on our Google+ page.

There are five Saturdays in March and so there will be a three week gap until our next meeting, which is on Saturday 30th March. This date happens to be International TableTop Day, when there are events across the world to encourage people to play more games together. We’re hoping to have our event linked to this, more details to follow soon.
