Terms & house rules

The small print, in the club's own voice.

These are the rules that keep a game night warm for everyone at the table. Book a seat and you're agreeing to them — they're short, and none of them are a surprise.

Booking

One — for the booking. A reservation holds your station for the date and hours you picked. Turn up within fifteen minutes of your start, or we may free the seat for the walk-in crowd. Need to change or cancel? Tell us ahead of time and we'll move it gladly.
Two — for the group. If you've reserved a row on the long table, keep it to the number of seats you booked. Want more of the table? Ask and we'll see what the night allows.

Hours

We open in the afternoon and run late — into the small hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Last call for the counter bell is fifteen minutes before close, and stations power down on the hour so the next night starts clean. Posted hours can shift for a private evening; we'll say so ahead of time.

At the table

Three — for the room. The long table is meant to buzz, but keep it friendly — no shouting down your neighbour, no hogging two seats, no unkind words across the row. Guests who make the night worse for others will be asked to step out.

Bring a friend, teach a beginner, cheer a good round. If you'd rather keep it quiet, the nook seats in the corners are yours. Everyone here plays for points and time on the clock, and that's the whole game.

Equipment

Treat the gear like it's your own. Food stays away from the keyboards, drinks stay on their coasters, and anything that breaks by accident just needs a word at the counter — honest mistakes happen. Deliberate damage is charged at cost. Your own keyboard or mouse is welcome in the spare port; please take it home when you leave.

The toast

The counter bell and the lemonade toast are a bit of fun, offered one per guest per evening. It's a celebration, plain and simple — no money, no prizes, no stakes of any kind change hands. We celebrate victories with lemonade because that's the spirit of the place.
