Board and Card Gaming

 

Welcome

Welcome to Board & Card Gaming! We're Derby University's hub for gaming enthusiasts to get together, play games and make friends. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the scene, our community is ready to roll the dice with you at one of our many In-Person and Major events this year. Alternatively, you can also join the fun online via our discord!

 

Events

- In-Person Events

Join us for our In-Person Events! We hold these sessions twice a week (rooms TBD) where we play various games from our inventory. Plus, every fortnight on a Sunday, we host a Social Deduction Night packed with games such as Blood on the Clock Tower. So, whether you're all about weekdays or looking for a fun weekend activity, we have options to suit you and ensure you won't miss out on anything.

Want to find out more about social deduction games? See us play one below...

 

 

- Online Events

Online Events provide a gaming experience like no other. Can't make our In-Person Events or Major Events, or want to play from the comfort of your own home? These sessions allow you to make friends with just a few simple clicks on our discord server and play fan-favourite games including: 

  • Board Game Arena 
  • Jackbox Games
  • Death By AI
  • Among Us
  • Blood on the Clock Tower (Online)
  • AND MORE!                                                                                 

See how to join these events and stay safe with our online events guides.

 

-  Major Events

    (Member Exclusive)

Our Major Events transcend the ordinary, bringing exclusive gaming experiences to our members that are more immersive, more exhilarating, and more unforgettable than our In-Person Sessions and Online Sessions. This year, we've got many of these events planned, however we always encourage our members' suggestions! These are just some of the few events you can expect:

  • Halloween Party
  • Escape Room
  • Secret Santa
  • New Year, New Game
  • Birmingham Games Expo
  • AND MORE!

Membership

Why buy a membership? To access our Major Events and attend our In-Person and Online Sessions regularly, you will need both the Union Societies Pass (£5) and our Society Membership (£5).
