ABOUT US
THE STORY SO FAR
Created by partners Ben and Hannah, Silly Goose is our way of connecting people through board gaming.
We began by taking our games to local venues to teach and get people playing together.
Now, along with our expanded team, we're focused on running quality Board Game Retreats at unique venues and creating bespoke events for special occasions.
