At Games Haven, we live for the moments that only wargaming delivers — the clutch roll that flips a skirmish, the beautifully painted army finally hitting the field, the campaign twist no one saw coming. Whether you’re commanding in the 41st millennium, reenacting history in 15mm, or testing that weird indie system you found online, this is your battlefield.
We support all styles of play. Narrative. Competitive. Historical. Experimental. From titanic clashes to skirmish encounters, our terrain-rich tables and welcoming crew make it easy to jump in.
You can book a table, join a campaign, or drop in for casual play.
Warhammer, Bolt Action, Old World, Star Wars Legion, Infinity, and dozens more — if it belongs on a battlefield, it belongs here.
