๐ฒ Friend of Dorothy Board Games Night at Draughts London
Play Games. Meet Gay Men. Make Friends.
Weโre 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 weโll get everyone into small groups of 3+ to start playing. Donโt worry if you come alone โ weโll make sure youโre 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 doesnโt 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. Weโll take care of the rest.
What it looks like when it actually works
Reels from the last one. No models, no staging.
Bring a friend or two
Everything's funnier with a mate next to you. Send them this page โ the button opens your share sheet on mobile, WhatsApp on desktop.
Send to a friendMost 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.
You won't be the only solo guy
More than 60% of attendees come alone. The room is built for it.
We greet you at the door
Tell us it's your first time and we'll introduce you to people right away.
The activity does the work
You don't have to make small talk from cold.
Leave when you want
Stay for the social or head home early. Both are normal.

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 โ single, coupled, all ages.
โ Marcus ยท Comedy night, JuneMy first gay event ever
Was so nervous to come alone. Within 10 minutes someone introduced themselves at the bar.
โ Theo ยท Comedy night, JuneWorth every penny (which is barely any)
