About this Event

Gateway Game Night: Splendor vs Ticket to Ride
Theme: Set Collection

Curious about modern board games but not sure where to start? Our Gateway Game Night is the perfect introduction.

Each session, we spotlight a different theme and pit two fantastic games head-to-head. You’ll get the chance to learn, play, and compare both—then decide for yourself which one deserves the crown.

For our very first event, we’re exploring the world of set collection with two absolute classics:

💎 Splendor – Build your engine, collect gems, and attract powerful patrons in this fast-paced, satisfying strategy game.
🚂 Ticket to Ride – Gather cards, claim routes, and connect cities across the map in one of the most beloved gateway games of all time.

Our team will teach both games, guide you through your first plays, and be on hand throughout the evening—no experience needed.

By the end of the night, you’ll not only understand what makes these games great, but you’ll also have a clear favourite… or maybe a new appreciation for both.

Which will win: the elegance of Splendor or the adventure of Ticket to Ride?

Join us, play both, and cast your verdict.
