Quick answer: In Glasgow you can play board games at Board Games More Games at Shettleston Library (games event), Board Games Night at Library @ The Bridge (games event), Glasgow Geek Social (Meetup group) and R-CADE (board game café). The next confirmed date is Tue 24 Nov, 6:30 pm (Glasgow Geek Social).
Glasgow's best bet for a drop-in game is R-CADE on the Saltmarket, where £3 gets you over 300 games until closing and Friday is a Boardgames Social. Glasgow Geek Social runs open board game nights in the city centre and in the West End, and two of the city's libraries have free weekly board games nights.
A free weekly drop-in for classic board games at Shettleston Library in the East End, with tea and coffee on. It's for ages 16 and up and is a relaxed way to meet people locally.
A free weekly board games night for adults at the library in The Bridge in Easterhouse. Expect old favourites like Jenga, chess and Ludo, plus a chance to try something new and get to know a few people.
