Are you interested in board and tabletop role-playing games? You've come to the right place! At this camp, we won't be playing Kimble or Afrikan tähti. Instead, you will get to try out more unusual, complex, and longer board games, some of which can take up the whole camp day. It will also be possible to try out tabletop role-playing games at the camp, provided there are enough interested players.

Popular games at previous camps have included Sushi Go Party, set in a sushi buffet, Gaia Project, which focuses on space construction, and the legendary Japanese winning hand game Riichi Mahjong. Don't worry if you are not familiar with these games, as the games selected for the camp are guaranteed to be great fun and our professional instructors will guide you through their secrets! All you need is courage, a willingness to try new things, and patience to learn. Lunch is included in the camp price.

The camp can accommodate 8 participants. The camp will be held if there are at least 4 participants. The camp will be conducted in Finnish. Participation fee €30 (includes insurance and meals)
