All Weekend
Trap Street

Build a Boardgame

Use your experience of Hide and Seek to come up with an instruction to go on a square, then come back and play when we have enough to build a board.

The Sandpit
12:00pm to 8:00pm, Saturday 28th to Sunday 29th June at Clore Ballroom, Royal Festival Hall
Grab a ruleset, some friends (or strangers), some paper or cards or whatever else the game demands, and settle down for a few rounds of the social game of your choice.
