Our Marvel Crisis Protocol League is the perfect opportunity to get more MCP in your life, with Spider-Man themed prizes galore!
Build your roster and compete for prizes over 2 rounds. An Upper and Lower division in Round 2 creates a more competitive environment for our top players and a more casual one for lower scoring players, while maintaining tension and excitement by offering prizes for both divisions.
Fun & Friendly Community
We have an amazing community of fun & friendly players who are always keen to get new players involved. At Black Dragon Games we focus on creating casual gaming communities who are open and inviting to all. So join in and meet our amazing community!
Can I change my Roster?
You'll use the same Roster in all of your Round 1 games, but you can change your Roster before we start round 2.
Does my army have to be painted?
No - just prime all unpainted miniatures in the same colour and you're good to go. There are prizes on offer at the end of the league for the best-painted army, so we hope that most players will work towards a fully painted army at the end of the league, but this is not compulsory.
How long is the league?
You should expect to play 8-10 games over 3-4 months (depending on the number of players), with a league final/social at the end where we'll hand out loads of prizes across a wide range of categories.
Start date:
Monday 5th October

We've used our 2026 Survey data to create a new Board Game Night experience!
You'll find more of the games that you want to play, as well as dedicated teaching sessions so that everyone can learn the games they want to play.
Learn-to-Play: These sessions are aimed at players who don't know how to play the game. They'll be run by a community volunteer or a member of staff, who will start the session by teaching the game. Some of these games involve a fairly long teach!
Guided: A community volunteer or member of staff will be running these games, so they'll be able to teach new players as they go, or help people with rules in more complicated games.
Unguided: There won't be anyone running these games, so you'll need to have have a good understanding of how to play in order to sign up.
We've ranked games as light games, medium complexity or high complexity. This is very subjective, not should give you an idea of what type of game to expect. High complexity games will involve a long teach with lots of planing a decision making over several hours. Light games will take a few minutes to learn and tend to be fun, fast-paced games that last less than an hour.
Cost: £7
Tuesdays: 7pm to 11.30pm
Saturdays: 6pm to 10pm
Children under 16 years old must be accompanied by a paying adult who is booked on to the same game

One-shot nights are bigger than ever!
More one-shots...
Loads of different gaming systems...
Rewards for players and DMs...
Dive into a one of our single-session D&D adventures!
We're playing the 2024 edition of Dungeons & Dragons, with new One-Shots every month. Players must be comfortable playing 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons, and will need to bring a character built using the 2024 D&D Player's Handbook only.
Experienced players only: These sessions are not for beginners.
Pre-2024 players: Don't worry if you've only played the pre-2024 5th edition; most of the changes affect the Dungeon Master more than the players - just build a character using the new edition and you'll be fine!
Prepare characters in advance: Players who do not have a fully completed character sheet at the start time of the session will be unable to participate in the session and will not receive a refund. Note that the background section can be left blank, and you can discuss non-starting equipment with the DM at the start of the session.
Join us for a special one-shot adventure set in Azeroth to celebrate the new World of Warcraft expansion!
We're expecting some free goodies from Wizards of the Coast too, but details will be confirmed later.
Level 3 pregenerated characters based on the new World of Warcraft content will be provided.
Call of Cthulhu, Daggerheart, Warhammer Fantasy RPG, Blades in the Dark, Warhammer 40,000 Wrath & Glory, Spire and Matrons of Mystery all make frequent appearances at our one-shot nights!
Theses session are aimed at new and veteran players - DMs will provide pre-generated characters and teach the game as you play!
New players welcome: These sessions are accessible to everyone!
Everything provided: Pregenerated characters will be provided - you can even borrow some dice if you need to!
You can book on to all of the sessions listed below. We recommend booking well in advance to ensure that the session you want is available.
Repeated sessions: Dungeons Masters repeat some of their one-shots to give more players a chance to play them. Please do not book on to the same one-shot more than once. You will be given a record sheet at your first session so that you can see which games you have played and avoid booking the same one-shot twice.
Cancellations: Please let us know ASAP if you need to cancel a booking. Refunds will be available up to 48 hours before the event start time.
You can claim a FREE Mystery Dice Goblin blind bag at every 4th one-shot you attend!
You will need to bring your record sheet to every session in order to qualify for this offer.
Free dice sets will be standard acrylic blind bags, but you may claim £7 off a more expensive Mystery Dice Goblin set instead.
We're also offering rewards to DMs to thank them for all of the hard work they put in!

Space...the Final Frontier...
These are the adventures of the Black Dragon Games Magic community, their 8 week mission to ascend to the rank of Captain and boldly take home as much of our Prize Cabinet as possible...
Take part in this Sealed++ event series, where players will start by opening 6 booster packs to build a 40-card deck (players may use a deck they built at a Prerelease event as their starting deck, or purchase new booster packs). Players will have the opportunity to acquire additional booster packs throughout the event series, which they can use to improve their decks.
Each week we'll play a casual 3 round tournament. Players will start their journey at Starfleet Academy, then progress to missions in the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta quadrants where they can earn pips to increase their rank.
More details to follow...

Learn-to-play sessions are back!
Our staff and community volunteers love teaching people to play new games. You'll find an ever-growing list of games here that you can have a go at - check back regularly for the latest sessions.
Deposit Required: all learn-to-play sessions now require a £5 deposit per participant.
£5 voucher: all participants will receive a £5 Black Dragon Games voucher at the end of their session.
Non-refundable: deposits are non-refundable, so please only book on to a session if you are certain that you can attend.
Earlier this year we had to stop running learn-to-play sessions due to a no-show rate in excess of 50%. No-shows meant that staff and community volunteer time was being wasted, while many people who wanted to attend learn-to-plays were unable to do so because the spaces had been booked out by people who did not attend.
Taking deposits and providing £5 vouchers to those who do attend allows us to keep these sessions as close to free as possible, while deterring those who book spaces and do not attend.
Please note that all events have age restrictions. Parental supervision is required throughout the session for any under-17s.
You must book on to these sessions in advance in order to attend them.
Any sessions with no bookings 24 hours before their start time are likely to be cancelled and their booking option removed.
