​WHAT IS 'BOARD GAMES BY THE BAY'?

Board Games By The Bay (BGBTB) is a series of epic tabletop gaming events run each year in New Zealand.
Since 2011, these weekend events have brought together the community to learn and play modern board, card and dice games in a friendly, social environment.
We are running FIVE awesome events throughout the country in 2020 (two in Auckland, two in Hamilton and one in Christchurch).   Check out the photos from our previous events here.  So that's FIVE opportunities this year to come and say hi, play some new games, make new friends, and perhaps walk away with a great prize!
