Boards of Kettering is a CIC created to celebrate the joy of playing modern board games. Since 2021 we have run a monthly board game cafe night.
(1)

Boards of Kettering CIC work in three areas.
• Using board games in education and wellbeing.
• Retailing board games from That Pink Shop and Kitsch Mitch in Kettering and Vintage Guru in Northampton.
• Run a monthly board game night and organise NorbCon. Our mission is to combine our love of gaming with making a positive difference in the community. In 2019 Boards of Kettering formed to retail modern board games in Kettering. In 2024 we organised the first annual Northants Board Game Convention. We have now registered Boards of Kettering as a Community Interest Company to use modern board games in educational settings to teach skills and well-being through play.

We can’t wait for this - so great to be working with the lovely folk at Northamptonshire Health Charity and those rascals at Lucky Chuck's 😄

A unique gaming fundraiser is set to take place at Lucky Chuck’s in Kettering, bringing together retro arcade games, modern gaming favourites and table-top experiences in support of local NHS hospitals.

Sorry about the terrible sound quality - but welcome to Dez and Pamela from Market Harborough Board Gaming Club’s first collab!

Here we open the amazing Bee Friendly made by Mar… Mar… Marcus! It’s a very lovely tile placement game, which is super easy, fun and quick to play. Great for all the fam! We have it in our games library for you to try at our monthly board game nights Johnnys Happy Place and Lucky Chuck's

Bee Friendly is now available in Kitsch Mitch, so if you enjoyed it at NorbCon you can pick it up in Kettering 😄

Please check out Pam’s Market Harbourgh Board Gaming Club on Sunday 1st November from 2-5pm at Little Bowden Bowls Club.

We had a lot of fun recording the video (as you may be able to tell from Polly giggling in the background!)
