-Commuter Games is Games Society's weekly commuter friendly meet-up. Taking place in the Maynooth University info centre, it is run by our 1st Year Representative. It involves many of the different games we bring during our weekly Tuesday meetings, and there is an emphasis on members taking part in commuter games, bringing their own games and activities. And of course, the event is extremely commuter friendly to give a taste of Games Society to members that unfortunately can't take part during our Tuesday meet up.
