Take a break from your desk with PGR Board Games, hosted by UGS Scholars Ryan and Thea! Thea has been playing tabletop games for years, has run a Dungeons and Dragons game for years now and spent this summer working for a games company designing a new board game. Ryan is also a big gamer, whether it’s board games or video games or Dungeons and Dragons, and has been helping run a board games group back home for a few years.

Join us at Westmere House for an afternoon of boardgames and fun! Whether you’re a complete beginner who hasn’t touched a boardgame in years, or a hardcore boardgamer who plays every evening, there’ll be something here for you.

We have a wide range of different board games at Westmere House – from more casual icebreakers like Codenames and Ticket to Ride to more involved games like Pandemic and Carcassonne – so whatever your experience level we’ll have something for you to enjoy!

The session will run from 1PM until 4PM and we have a bunch of games planned, so don’t worry about dropping in late or leaving early. We’ll make sure to find a space for you whenever you arrive. So come along to meet with your fellow PGRs and have a chilled afternoon playing boardgames!

Location: Westmere House on Edgbaston Park Road (G15 on the campus map).

Westmere House is the postgraduate researcher hub at the University of Birmingham, and provides a place for postgraduate researchers to meet, connect and work.
