What is this?

BoardGameClubs.org helps people find board game, RPG, wargaming, and TCG clubs near them. Search by postcode, browse the map, or filter by day and distance. Every club listing is maintained by the community through GitHub.

How it works

  • The site is built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages
  • Each club is a Markdown file in the _clubs/ directory
  • Club data is served as JSON and rendered on an interactive Leaflet map
  • Anyone can add or update a club by submitting a pull request

Adding or editing a club

See the contribute page for a full guide on adding a new club or updating an existing listing.

Not comfortable with GitHub? Open an issue with your club's details and we'll add it for you.

Running locally

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

Then visit http://localhost:4000.

Jekyll is slow (~45–60s full build). For faster local dev, use our rustkyll fork, a drop-in Rust replacement that also emulates this site's custom _plugins/ (language clones, country counts). Build it from source, then run it in this repo:

git clone https://github.com/BoardGameClubs/rustkyll.git
cargo install --path rustkyll   # builds the `rustkyll` binary onto your PATH
rustkyll serve                  # run from the GameClub repo root
