About this Event
Hosted by Poppy Scarlett and Danny Fucking Price.
Yes, we’re all sick of the stereotypes about non-monogamous people, but the one about us being inexplicably into board games is undeniable. Enter: NON-MONOPOLY.
Whether you love organised fun or prefer to do your own thing, you’re welcome to come down and connect (four).
Solo players, come down early - our team will be facilitating new connections and will help you to find your people.
