Board game nights in Paris, in English
Easy games, and tables that reshuffle so you play with everyone.
Different games across the tables, and the groups rotate all night. Round one is always an icebreaker game, and every rule gets explained from zero.
The Format
What to expect
- Step 1
Arrive and settle in
Hosts seat you at a table right away. If you came alone, you have a group before you’ve taken your jacket off.
- Step 2
Icebreaker round
Every table starts with a quick game built for getting to know each other. The score is beside the point.
- Step 3
Shuffle and play
A party game round, a pick-your-own round, and shuffles in between. The night winds down with open play and drinks.
