Galway Board Game Night 27 October 2026

117 Upvotes

Tonight at Queen Street Bar our players took on 7 Wonders, fought for trophies in Challengers, went treasure hunting in Clank, battled it out as spymasters in Codenames, took on a zombie horde in dead of Winter, competed to cultivate the most successful forest in Photosynthesis and managed a fleet of ships in Space Base!

Galway Board Games is a community for adults who enjoy modern board games, meeting regularly in Galway since 2019. We typically have 15–25 people at each meetup, playing a huge variety of games from our personal collections.

You don't need to be an experienced player or have a collection of your own. New to modern board games? That's fine. There are always people around to explain a game, and plenty of games to choose from.

You also don't need to arrive with a group. Come on your own, join a game already in progress, or bring something you'd like to play.

No experience required. No collection required. Just turn up and play.

Game nights are Tuesdays - register here on Meetup to attend the next one:

To whomever has the copy of the Doctor Who DVD “The Chase” from Loughrea Library. I’d really appreciate it if you could return it so I could loan it.

Halfords Battery Service

2 Upvotes

Car was dead this week and had to be jump started. I'm not 100% that it is the battery and my mechanic is off for the week so I wondered if Halfords have a multimeter that could confirm a battery fault before buying one off them?

Thanks

What's the deal with the skeff?

84 Upvotes

I went to the skeff for lunch last week. I've had the same experience the last few times I've tried to grab some lunch the tables are dirty with plates that haven't been collected. Staff seem genuinely disinterested in serving anyone unless it's for a drink. I sat and waited at a table for 15 minutes and was never approached with a menu. I went to the bar to ask about food service and was told someone would be down to me. Staff just walked past my table a few times before I left. Is this normal for anyone else?

Miniature Painting Galway tomorrow night

Hi folks,

Just a final push to try and raise awareness for the miniature painting meetup tomorrow night in Westside. I've had a great response from reddit before, with great feedback but it's always easy to miss small events.

There are still a few spots available and everyone gets their choice of an ork boy or fantasy adventurer, with paint and brushes available, so if you're interested come on down.

And if your sick of hearing about it, I promise this is my last post on reddit about it 😅

Hello! Does anyone know how I can go about joining the Order of Malta in Galway? I've emailed them but haven't heard anything back yet so I'm wondering is there a different way to get in contact with them or are they even taking new volunteers?

Toddler swim - drop in/PAYG, not lessons!

3 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a warm swimming pool in Galway suitable for a 1.5 YO, ideally somewhere that offers PAYG swimming for non-residents?

We do Water Babies in a heated pool and would love to bring our little one swimming outside of lessons. We tried Leisureland recently but found the water quite cold.

Would love to hear of any hotel pools or other options with warmer water that are open to non-residents.

Thanks a million! 😊

The audacity to sell a house on Daft for 3/4 of a million with the beautiful modern pictures demonstrated being a protection of what it could like once you buy it and build it yourself

If this was on Taylors Hill I might not bat an eye, but in Furbo for f*ck sake

Worst takeaway in Galway?

Had 2 contenders located right next to each other this evening. Captain’s Cabin & Dominos. Shockingly bad. Would you complain to them or vote with your feet and avoid ?
