Cards Or Die
Whether for an evening of careful strategising or for a relaxed games tournament to play at your own pace, Horsforth’s friendly boardgame hub is a welcoming party option to promote healthy competition and spark some nostalgia. Hundreds of games from retro classics to quirky new releases can be chosen to suit each group, with knowledge- able staff on hand to demonstrate the rules before letting the team play on. If meeting up with colleagues elsewhere, the Card Or Die team can also bring the games over to you to enjoy the activity at your chosen party venue.
