[edit] Running Games
Want to run games at Grand Tribunal? Please do! To add a game to the programme please - fill in this form.
[edit] Signing Up For Games
Sign up on the day, as the session starts. Often things change, games get moved around, new games added, etc. We usually just mill around until everyone has a game they are happy with. No one has in seventeen years not got to play games at Grand Tribunal, and we usually have more spaces on offer than delegates to fill them. So don't stress just turn up and play.
[edit] The Board Games Room
There will be a good selection of boardgames available in the comfortable Vic Dymock suite for delegates to play. If there is a particular game you would like to try do message CJ and ask him to bring it along. I will ensure that every Atlas Games boardgame I own (most of them) is present, and I can bring other games on request. I have quite a wide selection.
[edit] List of Games
The following offers information on the games being run. More may be added right up to the day of play.
