Family Board Games
Join Ann from Cards or Die for some family board gaming fun (from ages 5 to 105)
If your family love board games, you are in for a treat! We have a range of retro favourites and modern classics for you to choose from and Ann from Cards or Die will be there to run you through the rules and get you playing.
No booking is required, simply come along to get competitive, or just enjoy spending time learning a new game or two and having a giggle. The games will be suitable for ages 5 and above.
Find this event in the Special Exhibition space on the third floor of Leeds City Museum.
This event is part of the museum’s ‘Step into the Game’ summer holidays to link with the immersive Trivial Pursuit trail in Leeds city centre.
You can find the official Trivial Pursuit Hub in the central hall of the museum throughout the summer.
