All associations and clubs driven by students
Board gaming club
The board gaming club is driven by BAR16 - the friday bar at Lygten 16. The board gang club throws events together with BAR16 and all of KEA's students are welcome. Come enjoy a cosy time playing well-known games with your friends or get training in new games by experienced game masters.
