Have you ever wanted to try surviving on Mars? What about trying to contain a deadly virus that's spreading across the world? Or maybe testing your knowledge of the history of science? The Board Game Laboratory, hosted at Firestorm Games, lets you do all of these and more with a huge selection of science themed board games at our one day drop-in event.

Local scientists and researchers will be on hand to talk and answer questions about the science behind the games, as well as showing you how to play. The games will be spread around the store, so you can wander around, have a look at the games, talk to the researchers and choose which games you want to try.

The event is suitable for people of all ages and all levels of board game experience. This is a friendly event for those new to board games, or experience veterans, so we welcome everyone to come along! The event is also free!

The event runs from 12:00-16:00, with attendees encouraged to drop in at any time during these hours to have a look around. All the board games at the event will be available to buy and take home yourself, as well as refreshments from the bar/cafe.
