Hello and welcome, new students and returning students alike. We hope you've had a good start to the academic year and it was amazing to see so many of you at the activities fair. We hope to see you all at our sessions over this academic year!
For those who may not know what we do, we meet once a week (currently on Thursday 5-7pm) to play card games and have a nice time. Please do come along.
- The Card Gaming Committee
Here is a list of all the card gaming sessions we will have this semester and their locations, if you have questions about the locations of the rooms please ask at the front desk of the student's union.
You can also view all the details on our online timetable.
* Racing Demons requires each player have their own unique deck, we have some but not enough for everyone to have one so please bring your own if you are able to. Ideally a colourful and unique one.
For our society we charge a membership fee to cover the cost of any equipment outside what the SU grant funds and the food and drink that we bring to each session. Our first 2 sessions are free to attend free of charge however past that you will need a membership.
It is £3 for the semester and £5 for the academic year. Buy membership here.
If for one reason or another you cannot afford the cost of membership you can apply to the Participation Grant. This closes Monday 31st of October though so get your applications in quickly.
We have a new website where you can view all the information about our society, the events we're running on our live calendar, our newsletter archives and the games we play with rules in digital format.
Currently this is the selection of games we play:
500
Egyptian War
Hearts
Kaboo
Spoons
Irish Snap
Racing Demons
Shithead
We will have rule cards for each game on hand and committee members present to run through the rules of each game when playing. Do not worry if you don't know the games being played at any given session.
You do not need any equipment for most of the games, we will provide pens and paper for scoring as well as cards and any other equipment. You will however need to bring cards for racing demons, it requires each player has a unique deck and we don't have enough unique decks for everyone.
If you want to add a new game to the mix please sent us an email! We will need you to provide us with either a set of rules or a source containing the rules for the game. If the game requires any equipment please make sure mention this.
