Ready for games that reflect the nuances of real life, where success isn't determined by a lucky roll or a single misstep?

Join us as we explore board games that challenge simplistic notions of governance and economics. These games go beyond simple accumulation of wealth, inviting players to experiment with collaborative decision-making, sustainable resource management, and anti-fragile strategies that adapt to the unexpected.

Experience worlds where your every choice shapes the entire board, and where the path to victory can mean balancing individual goals with collective well-being.

This is a time-intensive event. Be prepared to dedicate 3-5 hours for a full gaming experience.

In this first session, depending on the number of people who join, I’ll introduce you to games such as Splendor, 7 Wonders, Concordia or Pandemic — titles that strike a balance between accessibility and strategic depth.

What to expect:

  • A welcoming environment for both newcomers and experienced gamers at a board game cafe not far from The Wall (~150THB)

  • Clear explanations of rules and strategies (which may take 30-45 minutes per game)

  • The option to play in pairs for easier learning and more social interaction

  • A gradual introduction to game complexity, tailored to the group's preferences

  • Full gameplay sessions lasting 1-3 hours per game

Important note: Modern board games require a significant time investment. Plan to spend at least 3-5 hours to fully enjoy the experience or play in a pair with someone who will stay through to the end.

While we’ll likely start with some of the more approachable games, they still require effort and time to learn. Come with an open mind, patience, and a willingness to embrace new concepts.

In future sessions, we may explore more complex games such as Terraforming Mars, Brass or Agricola. Who knows? You might find yourself redesigning entire societies and planets sooner than you think!

Whether you're a chess grandmaster, a Monopoly tycoon, or new to strategy games entirely, there's a whole world of innovative gaming experiences waiting for you. Join us to discover which dynamic systems you'll help create and navigate next!
