Blood on the Clocktower @ The Gamers Guide

Blood on the Clocktower is back at The Gamers Guide on Sunday 25 October, starting at 18:00. If you've never come across it, it's a social deduction game that's built a following as one of the most popular titles of its kind. The whole thing is about lying to your friends and trying to figure out who's lying to you, and it's exactly the sort of thing that works better in a room full of people than around a kitchen table.

The sessions at The Gamers Guide are run by the café's own storytellers, who handle the heavy lifting of the game's rules and setup. They cater to beginners and experienced players alike, so you don't need to have played before to jump in. The games are built around varied scripts, meaning the roles and the way the game unfolds change from session to session, and the atmosphere is kept friendly and inclusive. It's a social game at its heart, and that's where it works best.

Because it's a café, there's also the usual menu on hand, so you can grab a drink or something to eat while you're working out who's who. The session runs from 18:00 at The Gamers Guide, 8 E Parade, Sheffield City Centre, S1 2ET, and entry is £7, payable in person at the event.
