Tabletop Gaming

The UCC Staff Tabletop Gaming club has been up and running since 2019 and is going from strength-to-strength. With regular Friday lunchtime sessions (every 2 weeks) and regular online evening sessions too for the longer games (every 2 weeks on Tuesdays), the club is vibrant active and fun. We also do regular themed evenings and even trips to Game Conventions and Escape Rooms! 

Tabletop gaming covers everything from the classic boardgames of old like monopoly and scrabble to card based games like unstable unicorns, coup and more. The main aim is to play and have fun! 

If you’re interested in joining in the fun, pop an email to stafftabletop@ucc.ie – the club will add you to the list of members, give you access to our Teams site and invite you to join our workvivo space.
