Owned and operated by long time gamers, Ravenwood Castle boasts a unique setting, an ever growing library of games and two annual gaming conventions – making it the discriminating gamer’s destination of choice!

WHAT’S A MEEPLE?
The word “Meeple” was coined in 2000 during a game of Carcassonne, to describe the now iconic wooden game pieces.
Believed to be a combination of “my” and “people”, the term is now commonly used to refer to person-shaped tokens in many board games.
