Cards & Ales (or coffee / tea)

Gaming group

Every fortnight, Dan hosts a get-together at the Brewhouse & Kitchen in Portsmouth/Southsea, UK, from 10:30 to 3:00. It's a casual event with beer (or other drinks) for those who want to have fun playing some games. They will be playing Android: Netrunner, Doomtown: Reloaded, and A Game of Thrones LCG. Dan will be bringing a few decks for Netrunner so that other people can try it out, and he requests that if anyone wants to play Doomtown, AgoT, or another game, they bring an extra deck; this is so that if no one else is playing, he can join in with a different deck as well. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
