Fun winter activity, they are well stocked with a vast range of games. I wouldn’t recommend the food but the bar is well stocked. The staff are very helpful and can explain the rules to you. Best to book if going as a group. You can also go as an individual and join in with others.

The Dice Board Gaming Lounge is a newly-opened board gaming café, sited next to The Wedgewood Rooms on Albert Road, on the site of the old Southsea Conservative Club. The smoke-stained walls and musty stage area have been replaced by floor-to-ceiling scaffold planks and a library of 500 board games, the booth seats remain, reupholstered. Individuals, friends, families, couples, young, old — Dice really is a place for everyone. Co-founder Rikki noted he’s particularly excited to end the all-too-common sight of groups sat in the pub together glued to their phones. Checkmate, millennials. It’s not just demographic inclusivity, either. You can game for 15 minutes, or you can game for 15 weeks. A quick round of Love Letter when you’re a little early for a Wedgewood Rooms gig? Sorted. A massive campaign played over the course of several months? Absolutely. There are countless events on the cards to help fan the flames, such as themed nights and multi-day tournaments centred around long-play titles like Dungeons & Dragons. Beyond that, Lee and Rikki mentioned the embers of an ambition to turn Dice into a chain of venues. Portsmouth has already been blessed by something Dice-like in the past: Game Over, the (literally) underground video gaming paradise sited in a basement-level casemate on High Street in Old Portsmouth. Game Over’s owner, Steve Lowe, will be working with the Dice crew to bring a small selection of retro arcade cabinets to Dice. They previously married up on a board gaming/retro video gaming event at Portsmouth Guildhall which sold out and went down a storm. Also housed within Dice’s scaffold board walls is a retail space, so you can take your favourite board games home with you. Seeing the IKEA shelves stacked with glistening shrink-wrapped boxes is a perpetual source of Christmas Eve excitement. Farewell, every paycheck in Southsea. Dice Portsmouth will undoubtedly become a second home for many people. Round up everyone you know, head along, book a table, order some food/drink, play something you know, play something totally unfamiliar, and enjoy Southsea’s latest gem from 10:00am/11:00 am ’til 10:00pm/11:00 pm.

Good for rainy days, or just to do something different.
