Games

The BGG list of our small but growing library of games can be found here.

​

There will as always be a huge library of games brought by you wonderful LoBsters for all to share and respectfully enjoy. 

​

There is a Geeklist on BGG for each LoBsterCon and you can find them all here.  Many people use this to arrange games in advance, let people know what they're bringing and what they'd like to play.

​

Within each Geeklist will be an entry for our various official events (such as Blood on the Clocktower).

​

London On Board

LoBsterCon began life as a getaway weekend for members of London On Board (hence the LoBster in LoBsterCon). 

 

LoB is London’s, the UK’s (and probably the world’s) biggest board games club. With well over 16,000 members on Meetup and its own helpful and informative website, you can find board games to play and events to attend in central London almost every evening during the week and all day at the weekends.

Accessibility

Our venues will always have wheelchair access via lifts or ramps to all gaming spaces.

There are a limited number of accessible bedrooms.  So please contact us directly for booking options and to let us know how we can assist you with your needs

​

We can also provide advice about suitable alternative accommodation near the venue.

Alternative Accomodation

To get the best LoBsterCon experience, in our ever so humble opinion, it's best to stay at the venue.  But, if your tastes or budget differ that’s OK, and you can still help us out by using one of these links.
