Good games and great company

Get ready to roll the dice, shuffle the cards and bring your game face to our Ultimate Games Night.

Whether you’re fiercely competitive or just in it for the laughs, this is your chance to unwind and enjoy a fun, easy-going evening packed with board games and card games. From quick, light-hearted rounds to longer strategy battles, there’ll be a wide range of options available — so you can jump into something new or stick with a classic favourite.

Come along with friends or turn up solo and join a table on the night. It’s a great way to meet new people, take a break from studying and enjoy some screen-free fun. No experience needed — we’ll explain the rules, set up the games and keep things running smoothly.

Expect good vibes, a little friendly competition and plenty of laughs. Whether you’re playing to win or just playing for fun, Games Night is the perfect way to relax and recharge mid-week.

This event will be held in Aquila Court social space, through the main entrance and next to the reception. There is an accessible toilet on the same floor and range of seating available, including both seats and sofas.

ResLife Ambassadors will be there to welcome you. You’ll be able to recognise them in their light blue RLA hoodies and t-shirts with the ResLife logo on.

Ultimate Games Night is designed to be relaxed, flexible and easy to join at any time. You can drop in, choose a game that interests you, and play at your own pace. There’s no pressure to stay for the whole session, no expectation to compete, and no requirement to already know how to play.

Games will be clearly laid out and ResLife Ambassadors will be on hand to explain rules step-by-step and help you get started. You’re welcome to play with friends, join an open table, or observe a round before deciding to take part.

We’ll aim to keep the atmosphere friendly and supportive. While some games may get lively, there will be a quieter area available for anyone who prefers a lower-noise option or slower-paced games. You’re welcome to take breaks, switch games, or wear headphones if that helps you feel comfortable.

Whether you stay for one round or several, the focus is on low-pressure fun, connection and taking a break from academic stress in a way that works for you.
