Who are we?

We are CRITS also known as the Cardiff Regular and Irregular Tabletop Society! - home of all tabletop gaming at Cardiff university! Whether you like roleplaying, wargaming, cardgaming or boardgaming, we have events for you. With an active and friendly discord server and six events a week, we're proud to offer a friendly community for tabletop gaming enjoyers.

What do we do?

We run six regular events a week between all of our sections. For boardgaming, we offer a casual pub boardgaming night and a quieter, non-alcoholic one, so there's something for everyone. We offer regular rooms and help organising games for wargaming, cardgaming and roleplaying at our weekly events. For roleplayers with varying levels of free time, we have slots for both campaigns and oneshots. Keep an eye on our instagram and discord for announcements of special events too! Larp events will be taking place on a more infrequent basis, and we'll be running various socials each semester.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience?

Absolutely not! We welcome players of all levels of experience - besides our dedicated Give It A Go events, new players are welcome any time. We have many experienced players happy to introduce new people to the hobby.

What systems do you play?

• Boardgames - At our Monday pub socials we tend to play smaller games such as Secret Hitler, One Night Werewolf and Ticket To Ride. On our Wednesday nights we tend to play longer and heavier games such as Catan and our much beloved Blood On The Clocktower.


• Cardgames - Here we like to play all sorts of Magic The Gathering formats. Commander, pioneer, pauper. You name it we play it. We also have have a burgeoning YuGiOh community who favours edision format (2010 YuGiOh).


• Roleplay - We play a great range of games! For roleplaying, we of course play Dungeons & Dragons, but a great many other systems are popular, such as Monster of the Week, Pathfinder, and City of Mist.


• Wargaming - For Wargaming, we have an incredibly wide range of games that are often played at CRITs. You'll often find people playing more traditional games like Warhammer 40K, Age of Sigmar, or skirmish games such as Kill Team and Warcry! You can also find people that play more specialist games such as Warhammer: The Horus Heresy or necromunda.

How do I set up or join a game?

Aside from just coming along to our open events, you can organise specific games or campaigns with the forums on our discord server. Membership lets you post in them, to schedule a wargame in the regular thread, post a campaign signup or organise playing a lengthy board game.
