About this Event

Play games. Meet gay men. Make friends.

šŸŽ² Friend of Dorothy Board Games Night at Draughts London

Play Games. Meet Gay Men. Make Friends.

We’re taking over our own private area at Draughts London for an easy, fun night of games, drinks and meeting new people.

Draughts has over 300 board games to choose from, so once you arrive, grab a drink and we’ll get everyone into small groups of 3+ to start playing. Don’t worry if you come alone – we’ll make sure you’re introduced and have a group to join.

The best bit? The game does the hard work for you. No standing around making awkward small talk or wondering who to speak to. Sit down, start playing and conversation naturally follows.

There are drinks available throughout the night, plenty of games to jump between and lots of opportunities to mix up the groups and meet different people.

Competitive or completely clueless, it really doesn’t matter. This is a super easy, low-pressure night designed to get gay men around a table, laughing, chatting and actually getting to know each other.

Come solo or bring a friend. Grab a drink. Pick a game. We’ll take care of the rest.

Scared to come alone?

Most of our guys showed up solo too

It's the most common worry we hear. Here's how we make sure first-timers leave feeling like they belong.

1

You won't be the only solo guy

More than 60% of attendees come alone. The room is built for it.

2

We greet you at the door

Tell us it's your first time and we'll introduce you to people right away.

3

The activity does the work

You don't have to make small talk from cold.

4

Leave when you want

Stay for the social or head home early. Both are normal.

Real reviews, real receipts

Finally a gay event where I felt seen

I'm 47 and most gay events make me feel ancient. This one had every type of guy — single, coupled, all ages.

My first gay event ever

Was so nervous to come alone. Within 10 minutes someone introduced themselves at the bar.

Worth every penny (which is barely any)

£10 for a line-up that would cost £40 anywhere else, plus a drink and a gift bag.
