About us

Where we meet:
Our current permanent venue is the Heaton Mersey Conservative Club (HMCC)

When we meet:
We meet every Tuesday from 7pm. Short games usually take place until 8pm while people arrive then groups will form to play longer games.

What we play:
NOT monopoly! We play designer boardgames aka eurogames. We don't really play wargames either.

The GM system:
In order that everyone get a fair chance to pick games and to reduce wasted time over choosing games, Variable Magers designate 2 or 3 "GMs" a week (depending on numbers) who will pick games. Others are welcome to join a GM and often GMs will post their choices on the forum in advance so you can pick your GM before you arrive.

To become a GM:
Anyone can be added to the GM rotation - all we ask is a small fee of £5 a year to help pay for website running costs. Dean currently collects this fee.
