TYPICAL GAMES: Everything from party games to strategic epics!
GAMES LIBRARY: BYO + library on site
FOOD & DRINKS: Cafe + Bottle Bar. Meals available. Do not bring your own.
What better way to celebrate the end of another week than with some drinks, chat and games! Come and join us at our flagship Friday Night Gaming with our friends at the Grassmarket Community Project!
· Huge capacity,
· Lots of big tables,
· Great lighting,
· Quiet spaces for those wanting them,
· Excellent disability access,
GMCP are aiming to match our socialising focused "pub gaming" atmosphere and putting on a different menu to suit the night! As usual please be encouraged to buy their food and beverages to make sure it works for them.
We`ll be there from 6:30pm until 11:30 ish. The staff are happy to let people in a little earlier we just cant guarantee an organiser will be there. Similarly don't worry if you're going to be late as games will be starting and ending throughout the evening. Its unusual to need to wait more than 10-15 mins at these events.
Bring games if you like. We'll have some on site too. A wide range get played from lighter stuff to big chunky ones.
We will be using our usual donation tin to collect for the charity card donations can be taken at the till. If you want to donate to EBG itself we still have our usual Patreon:

I'M NEW AND UNSURE WHAT TO DO! Do not fear! We know it can be daunting for newcomers. But please don’t worry, we have a fantastic base of regulars who have all been new at some point. You`ll find people are very friendly and the organisers even actively keep an eye open to make sure you get a warm welcome. If we've missed you, just ask one of the tables. What to Expect: The day is very informal. Some people will have pre-planned a longer game (feel free to use the comments), but the vast majority will honesty just form tables with whoever is free using the big pile of games we keep on site. It’s a great way to meet new people.
DO I NEED TO KNOW ALL THE GAMES? Not at all! Honestly, that would be an impressive feat in its own right! Dont worry, people usually find a game someone knows how to teach, often something they brought from home and we try to keep a good number of easy to pick up ones in the library.
WHERE CAN I PARK?
Any nearby single yellow line after 6:30. This includes Candlemaker Row, parts of the Grassmarket, George 4th Bridge, Chambers St, and quite a few of the major roads nearby that you might not expect.
