Quick answer: In Lewes you can play board games at Board Game Night at Beak Brewery (games event) and Lewes Board Gamers (club). The next confirmed date is Tue 24 Nov, 7 pm (Lewes Board Gamers). One more group is listed below; check their own page before you go.
Lewes Board Gamers is the regular one here: twice a month on Tuesdays, upstairs at the Lewes Arms, with a soft spot for euros and trick-takers. Beak Brewery's taproom puts on the odd Friday board game night too, and Depot has a monthly night when it's running. Brighton is a short train ride away and has far more going on.

Beak's taproom, ten minutes' walk from the end of Cliffe High Street, runs a board game night every so often on a Friday. They keep a small shelf of crowd-pleasers including Ticket to Ride Europe, Catan, 7 Wonders, Kingdomino, Cockroach Poker and Codenames, and there's usually street food on.
A friendly pub board game group in the upstairs function room of the Lewes Arms.
