Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Thursday Night Pub BoardgamesAlcampo Lounge, Brighton
Come and play some games, with a friendly bunch of people. New faces and veteran players very welcome!
Now, first the public service announcements;
- Please RSVP if you're planning on coming, so we have a good idea of numbers and can reserve extra tables if needed.
- Secondly, PLEASE don't attend if you are experiencing symptoms of Covid (or similar infectious conditions, like a cold or flu). Playing boardgames does involve sitting at the same table together and often means touching the same game components, so we expect attendees to take suitable precautions.
And now on to the good bit!
We play all sorts of games, so come along and bring your favourite. We're always happy to teach and we love it if you're up for teaching/leading some games as well!We usually chat/play short games until around 7PM, so if you're going to be later then that, give us a shout on here, or on our Discord server and we will try to keep a space in a board game free for you.

Hope to see you there!

- WerewolfCaxton Arms, Brighton
Werewolf is a social/party game (a bit like a murder mystery), you're secretly either a villager or a wolf, and try to figure out what everyone else is. Who's on your team, and who's not? Deduction, bluffing, and lots of fun.
New players very welcome! Just RSVP to let us know you are coming. We always have more attendees than RSVPs on the list. If you've never played before, don't worry, we will get you started!
Enter the pub using the entrance door on the right and we will be there straight ahead of you. We begin arriving around 6pm to set up and brief newbies on the rules. First game usually starts around 6.30pm and a second game typically kicks off between 8 - 8.30pm. If you arrive after we've started you're able to sit and watch the drama unfold.

BASE GAME RULES:
The best way to learn is definitely just to play! As part of each game, we frequently comment on what we think is happening.For more experienced players:

- Tuesday West Hove/Portslade Boardgames Meet (Monthly)The Railway Inn, 2 Station Road, Portslade, BN41
Our monthly West Hove/Portslade meetup (Tuesdays) at The Railway Inn, every third tuesday of the month.
Whether this is all new to you, or you're a veteran of Twilight Imperium, come along, bring a game if you want, have fun. We play modern board games (not monopoly, cluedo and so on), anything from quick fillers of Love Letter and Codenames, to heavier euro games and all sorts. Please RSVP here so we have an idea of numbers.
6:30pm onwards, expect games to start around 7pm (you can arrive later, but you may have to wait for a game). Please buy some food or drink to contribute to our use of the space, and don't bring food or drink in from elsewhere. We'll be in the function room or mezzanine area (just ask at the bar).
Come join our Discord to chat about games and plan what to play: https://discord.gg/b43zV4XNjQ
The pub is close to several Brighton bus routes and Portslade train station. If you're driving, resident-only permit restrictions stop at 7pm (see zones X and L on this map).
Accessibility: There are a few steps to navigate inside the pub (no more than 8). We are usually in the back 'Platform' room, which has flat access via the side gate and ramp. Occasionally the venue may have another paid event booking, and if so we may be moved into the mezzanine, which unfortunately is not wheelchair accessible - so if you need step free access please contact an organiser. The accessible WC is located in the main bar (via the side door) which has a small ramped access in the threshold.
