Welcome!

Leeds Meeples is one of several gaming groups in Leeds. What makes us different is that we try to run our games as a safer space and take this pretty seriously - we want people to feel comfortable playing games with us who are new to board gaming or unhappy with the hostile atmosphere we've experienced at some groups. For other groups in the area, check out Leeds Gaming who have just set up a new group promoting all the gaming events in Leeds.

We like to play very geeky board games Carcassonne, Settlers Of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Dominion, Agricola, Chrononauts and Apples to Apples) in a relaxed way that includes a lot of socialising.

Please read what to expect when you come to Leeds Meeples and our Guide to Behaviour at Meeples.

We look forward to meeting you!
