2025-05-21 17:00 - 18:00, 2025-05-28 17:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Dublin)
Dungeons & Dragons Group (over 18)
This group is designed for young adults who enjoy fantasy, storytelling, and role-playing games. It offers a structured and engaging environment that encourages creativity, strategic thinking, and social interaction. The group may also be a good fit for individuals on the autism spectrum who are comfortable with complex gameplay and collaborative storytelling. However, as the game requires a high level of cognitive engagement, it may not be suitable for those who experience significant challenges with complex problem-solving or learning difficulties.
