Every year, Proud Lion
takes part in an event devoted to encouraging people to play more
games: International TableTop Day! This year the local gaming
community in Cheltenham is joining forces to bring you the biggest
and best TableTop Day yet. On Saturday 11 April 2015, take part in a
Camden Crawl-style game day, where an assortment of locations will
leave players spoiled for choice!
What is
International TableTop Day?
International
TableTop Day is an annual event celebrating tabletop gaming. People
are encouraged to play more games, anywhere they can, and encourage
others to join in. Many locations run open gaming for anyone to get
involved, as we are! For more information about TableTop Day, how it
began, and other events running on the day, check out the official
website at www.tabletopday.com.
Where can I play
games during the day?
Here at Proud Lion,
we'll be offering a selection of card and dice games throughout the
day, as well as a few of our favourite board games. Some of the games
on offer include King of New York, Forbidden Desert, Munchkin Panic,
Fluxx, and Ninja Dice! More details about when you can play these
(and more!) will be available soon. All games will be open to the
public, so just turn up and play! Proud Lion will be hosting open
gaming in store from 10am to 5pm.
Around the corner at
the 2PIGS, Pork Chop Gaming will be hosting tables full of epic
games! Join in for some Warhammer 40K, Star Trek: Attack Wing, Star
Wars: X-Wing, Wings of Glory and more. Pork Chop Gaming will be
hosting their event from 10am until 6pm.
Slightly further afield
you'll find St Paul's Boardroom! Based at St Paul's Church, this is
where you'll find eurogames, co-ops, and classics. Some of the games
you'll find here include Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, 7 Wonders,
and Five Tribes. St Paul's Boardroom will be running from 10am to
6pm.
Why should I go to
more than one place?
You
mean besides trying out a bunch of new games and meeting like-minded
gamers? How about a prize draw where you can win some cooling gaming
stuff? To encourage people to try out new locations and expand the
local gaming community, Proud Lion will be hosting the Cheltenham
TableTop Day Prize Draw!
The
rules are simple. When you go to any venue, you can pick up one of
our TableTop Day flyers. Play at least one game at any of the
participating venues to get your flyer stamped or signed by the
organiser. If you collect two stamps, you will earn one entry into
the prize draw. Collect three stamps to get three entries! You will
also receive one entry to the draw if you purchase a ticket to
[Gather Your] Party! (more details below).
Prize draw? What
kind of stuff could I win?
Prizes
are currently set to include a month's membership with Pork Chop
Gaming, a Munchkin hoody, games, vouchers, and more! A full list of
prizes will be available soon.
What is [Gather
Your] Party?
[Gather
Your] Party is a Proud Lion hosted event taking place at the 2PIGS!
Just in case we haven't packed enough into TableTop Day, in the
evening we will be running even more gaming! Some of the events
include a Cash 'N Guns tournament, exhibition-style Attack Wing
games, and a late night game of Cards Against Humanity. There will be
food, there will be a bar, and there will be a lot of gaming going
on! Details about how to get tickets for this event will be available very shortly.

Rae has decided that gaming is definitely more important than sleep.
