Five Minutes with Dave Desi From The Nerd Cave

We are a community centre for nerds. We aim to have a fun, inclusive and safe environment no matter where your nerd-dom lies.

What are some of The Nerd Cave’s weekly events?

We have a regular board game group that meets every Wednesday night and Friday night, along with Magic: The Gathering players who play every Monday and Friday night. HeroClix players meet on Tuesdays to see what really happens in a Batman versus Superman fight and Star Wars: X-Wing players pop in on Wednesday, Star Trek: Attack Wing players on Thursdays.

The Nerd Cave covers a wide range of games, platforms and genres. What are some of the current favourites?

Our ITG (In The Groove) arcade machine is always a favourite, but I would have to say that League Of Legends is always hugely popular for us! HeroClix is starting to grow and Betrayal At House On The Hill, a board game, has always been a Cave favourite.

For gamers who are more accustomed to playing solo, what makes The Nerd Cave such a good destination for taking part in the community?

There will always be someone around to play with! It’s also a great way to break into new hobbies and meet some new people who play the same games as you.

What does The Nerd Cave’s Big Day In involve on Saturday May 21?

The Big Day In is an event we hold once a month that is 18+, and BYO. Just like its namesake, prepare yourself for a full day of gaming that will make you need to sleep it all off on Sunday… or come back and play more on Sunday!
