Chance & Counters

Armed with abstract and absurdly specific scenarios, we invite special guests to put our board game knowledge to the test. It’s up to our plucky tabletop team to figure out what the situation calls for, and recommend a game that totally hits the mark. Chance & Counters is a little group of board game cafés in Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham. Our venues are purpose-built spaces for board gamers of all ages and abilities to enjoy, from casual players to seasoned strategists. www.chanceandcounters.com
