Valencia is a social city for sure, but meeting people isn’t always easy, especially if you’re new, don’t speak Spanish fluently yet, or are looking for activities beyond bars and nightlife.
This site exists to make it easier to discover board games in Valencia: where to buy them, where to play them, and how to use them as a way to meet people and build community.
Board games are one of the simplest ways to connect. You sit down at a table, learn together, laugh, and suddenly language, background, and age matter a lot less.
People new to Valencia
English speakers and mixed-language groups
Locals who enjoy international, welcoming game nights
Anyone who wants to meet people in a relaxed, low-pressure way
You don’t need to be an experienced gamer.
You don’t need to own games.
You don’t even need to speak the same language.
If you like the idea of connecting over a table instead of a screen, you’re in the right place.
Hello there! I’m the person behind this site.
I started this website because after more than two years living in Valencia I found out that connecting with people through boardgames was the easiest way to meet new and international people.
I love board games and it’s been a hobby of mine for nearly a full decade and my collection grows slowly but steadily! I find it a great way to socialize with people, disconnect from the endless distraction from screens and a fantastic way to have fun.
Hagbarth is my surname on the Danish side and its been a long standing family tradition to just generally play something every time we meet up, no matter the occasion. So in honour of that heritage I have decided to name and honour that playful side of the family with this site.
This is very much a new and constantly evolving project. There is so much that can be accomplished and its easier if its done with help. So if you live in Valencia and want to help out in this board game mission, please reach out. The contact information can be found out here: Contact page.
