About Games Society

Welcome gamers, to the Games Society!

What’s our shtick? We play games is what! From board games, war games, card games, video games, role playing games, e-sports, if its a game, we play it, and if we don’t have it, bring it along and someone will want to play it with you!

We meet up every Tuesday on the first floor of the John Hume building, so be sure to join up and show up for some good old-fashioned or newfangled gaming fun! From Dungeons and Dragons to League of Legends, from Magic The Gathering to Mario Kart, from Warhammer Fantasy to Warhammer 40k, and everything in between, nothing is off limits! (except for Monopoly. If you know, you know)

In addition, we also have our weekly Commuter Games event, for those members who have to head home early because of their commute. With everything our Tuesday event has to offer in terms of gaming goodness, watch this space for news of days and times!

Our e-sports team, Maynooth Martyrs, is always on the look out for new members as well, so if you're into Valorant, Rocket League, CS2, F1, League of Legends, TFT, or anything else, hop on into the Maynooth Martyrs Discord server!

Also on offer is our very own gaming convention, Dominicon, which we have been running for over 30 years now!
