About Us
As Wageningen Board Gamers we are all about playing board games and making new friends while we do it! Don’t worry we like playing card games as well 
.
Normally we meet every fourth Thursday and first Sunday of the month at THUISWageningen, the open living room at the city centre. Next to that we would also meet every Sunday evening at our favourite bar Rad van Wageningen to enjoy a nice beer and game. However due to the recent outbreak of the Corona Virus all events are cancelled until further notice.

Information
Wageningen Board Gamers aims to allow as many people as possible to be able to join in playing board games. All the publicly WBG-organized board game sessions at Thuis Wageningen or het Rad are open to all, that simple. There are no costs and no obligations, although you can always make a voluntary donation to Thuis and you are required to buy your own drinks at het Rad. You can follow us on Facebook, join the Facebook group, or join us on Discord to hear news about public sessions and weekends and arrange game sessions. If you want to be more involved with the Wageningen Board Gamers you can become a “Meeple”.
