If you are new to ISTA and want to find a place to meet new folks to play board games with or to socialize, board game evenings are the perfect place for you! It is beginner friendly and we always explain the rules to first-time players 🙂
The games vary from chill party games to complex board games depending on the preference of people attending. We have a nice set of games at the pub (and some new ones are on the way ) to choose from but if you have something interesting that you want to play, feel free to bring it with you for the evening.
