Join us for board games at The Wheatsheaf every Wednesday.

We are a friendly bunch of locals. Some of us are new to board games, whilst others have a few years experience of playing and teaching our games. We always try to make newcomers feel welcome… come and check us out! Wednesday nights start off with a mix of quick, lightweight fun stuff as people arrive. Then we move onto playing a wide range of games to suit the tastes of whoever shows up on the night. We often revert back to lighter games before we head home. We usually have around 12 to 24 people turn up, so don’t believe the attendance numbers you see on here… We have a lovely WhatsApp community that you can join when you attend this event. Please ask one of the organisers to add you in.

Territories: Pub Race | London 20s and 30s

Territories: Pub Race | London 20s and 30s

**It's back! On 6th November, we're back with one of our most unique evenings of Friday night fun... our latest “Territories” Pub Race 🌍** Like our other board game-inspired pub races, this live-action strategy game takes inspiration from the classic board game Risk, reimagined across 32 pubs throughout London. This team game is played on a virtual map and each pub is a territory on the map, that can be claimed or conquered ⚔️ **Over the evening, your mission is to build the biggest empire in 2 hours.** To claim one, you simply visit the pub as a team and have at least one person in your team buy a drink (soft drinks included). Every extra drink you buy will add yet more “troops” to your territory to help fortify it 🍻 This is crucial as if you fail to properly strengthen your territories - these can also be **conquered** (i.e. stolen) from other teams who visit the same pub and outnumber your troop numbers. Alongside the race - there will also be fun, themed challenges at each pub that you can complete to earn extra bonus troops for your garrison 📸 Some territories are worth more than others, and there are bonuses for controlling entire continents… so you’ll need to plan your route, pick your battles, and think like a pub-crawling warlord. At the end of the night, the team with the highest total **territory value** will be crowned champions 🏆 But of course, it’s not just about the game - the evening is also a chance to connect with loads of like-minded 20s and 30s, while enjoying an unforgettable start to the weekend. **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** Meet Point - Gilt of Cain, Fen Court Garden, Hogarth Ct, EC3M 5DL ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/JAphAzeWvxusNT4v5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/JAphAzeWvxusNT4v5)) Closest Tube station: Fenchurch Street (5 min walk), Aldgate (10 min walk), Monument (10 min walk) Start Time - 6:45pm Finish time: 10:00pm \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, The Great Friendship Project was set up to help 20s and 30s in London meet, connect and build life-long friendships. To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.
