With a range of activities from hectic party game gatherings, fantasy adventures led by community StoryTellers at our Tabletop Role-Playing Game events to strategy-heavy gatherings that keep your brain busy.
Our events
Queer Gayming @ PRIK
Running for 7 years, our wildly popular PRIK nights focus on social deduction to light card and board games at Amsterdam’s favourite Gay Bar.
Tabletop RPG Nights
Our community storytellers host adventures of world renowned Dungeons & Dragons as well as many other popular game systems including Mausritter, Brindlewood Bay, Pirate Borg and Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast.
Community-led initiatives
We encourage members of our community to host their own events to bring people together, share the hobby and get their chance to play the games that may (or may not) have been sitting on the shelves for some time.
Community Impact
“I’m so thankful I finally found my community”
“My cure for loneliness as an expat in a big city”
“So happy to meet so many friendly gamers”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I come alone?
All of our events cater to people who attend on their own!
Most people turned up to their first event without knowing anyone. We do our best to make the environmentwelcoming to make your first time special.
Real friendships take time, but our events often help people make those initial bonds that frequently lead to real and long-lasting connections.
Who are your events for?
Everyone is welcome at all of our events!
All genders, ages, ethnicities, nationalities & neurotypes.
Full Disclosure: Cis-presenting men make up the
majority of our community – but our lovely
nerds are genuinely welcoming to everyone.
Are they pick-up / flirting events?
The focus is always on playing games & socialising.
We encourage everyone to be present at the tablefor the games being played.
Yes, there is often some flirting, but it’s by nomeans dominant at events.
No under the table activities are allowed duringgames (even at our naked events).
Should you experience or witness any unwanted behaviours, please let the event host know!
In our 7 years of events, this has not been a problem – and we want to keep it that way.
Enjoy games, meet people & make connections but play on your own time.
Are newbies welcome?
We’re very beginner friendly!
Our game hosts can explain most of our community favourites, but also many of our regular members are used to introducing games to new folks.
In some specific instances planned games will be aimed at experienced players (such as wanting to play with extra expansions).
Is anyone in the community neurodivergent?
Not all, but many MANY of the community are neurodivergentthemselves or have plenty of life experience with neurodivergent people.
Board Gaming as a hobby generally attracts Neurodivergent people. We cater to queer board gamers and see that overlap is significant.
Some people show their awesome quirks, while others prefer to mask in these environments. That’s OK. We as a community do our best to accommodate wherever possible.
BUT…not all events are suitable for all people.
PRIK events are often noisy and a bit chaotic and our TTRPG events need people to sit and pay attention.
Do I need to arrive on time?
Events don’t always start at a convenient time for everyone, at our PRIK events you’rewelcome to join when you can make it. If you arrive mid-game you might need to wait a little to join a table, but we continue until around 11pm so there’s plenty of time to play.
Our Tabletop RPG events (usually on a Tuesdays at 7pm) have a strict start time.
