Burke's Gambit - The greatest social deduction game that you've never heard of!

Join us at the Crocodile Room in Chaucer Yard for an evening of deception and strategy as you search for a dangerous parasitic organism which has infected one of your crew members. Get ready to uncover hidden traitors among your friends in a race against time. Can you figure out who to trust before it's too late?

Burke's Gambit might just be one of the best social deduction games ever made, however as it's now out of print there are very few chances to play it. There are hidden baddies, unique roll cards and dice rolling decisions.

Board game weight: 1.45. Think of it as a light version of Blood on the Clock Tower.

Time: 19:00 - 22:00. Several games will be played over the course of the night, including an introduction run through.Location: The Crocodile Room, Unit 2 Chaucer Yard. Full details will be sent before the event. The event is hosted in a craft studio, where we usually run workshops, so we're excited to be opening our doors to play our favourite board game.

Inclusive space, everyone is welcome.

Drinks: BYBO. This is an informal night at an artist studio. Inclusive space, everyone is welcome.

Parking: Free on street parking from 18:30

Accessibility: The studio is on the ground floor, however there are steps leading up and down to it. There is an outside toilet with a step leading up to it.
