Families, friends, and curious players of all ages are invited to discover traditional games from cultures across Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond. Drop in at any time to explore a rotating selection of strategy, storytelling, and chance-based games.
Try your hand at games inspired by Māori traditions, test your skills with classic favourites like Mancala or Ludo, or pick up something entirely new with help from our friendly library team. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a total beginner, you’ll find something to spark connection, curiosity, and laughter.
This relaxed, hands-on session is all about celebrating community, culture, and the simple joy of play. Stay for five minutes or the whole afternoon—the game board is yours!
