What we’re about

Join us every Thursday evening at Tank & Paddle in the Manchester Printworks for a fun and social board game night! Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned strategist, there's something for everyone. We play a wide variety of games, from light and casual party games to more complex strategy games.
What to Expect:

  • Welcoming Atmosphere: New to board games? No problem! We provide rules explanations and help new players as they play.
  • Flexible Groups: Whether you come alone or with friends, we'll match you with players of a similar level or interest.
  • Bring Your Favorites: Veteran attendees and hosts bring a selection of games. If there's a specific game you'd like to play, feel free to bring it along!

Schedule:

  • Games start between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM and continue until closing at 11:00 PM.
  • Food & Drinks: Food is available until 8:45 PM, and there are drinks offers on beer and cocktails (starting at around £5).

Accessibility:
The venue itself is accessible, however the place we play games is up a flight of stairs and there is no lift available. If you are able to inform us in advance, we're happy to set up a game with players downstairs in the main venue.

Come for the games, stay for the fun, and make new friends along the way. We can't wait to see you there!
