Rumpus Vol 28: Monopoly

Tickets on sale at 12:00pm on Thursday 15th October from here.

Get set, get game and check out the Vol. 28: Monopoly! playlist on Soundcloud.

On Friday the 13th, Rumpus invites you back to the Metal works to throw some dice and take a ride in the board game that is life!  Even though you lose some of the pieces, you’re pretty sure your friend is cheating & you fear that the onslaught of seat–gripping gambles may quite possibly, actually, maybe make your head implode! – you gotta…

Go to Jail! Ride a train! Put ALL your hotels in Marylebone! Be the thimble you ALWAYS WANTED TO BE! Yes, the money looks more and more like confetti, and the dice has managed to roll over the table & under the carpet but the night is young, the game has just begun, we’re all playing together, and golly it’s gonna be full throttle fun!

We’ve invited the glorious London Leisure Pirates to turn Islington Metal Works into a giant boardgame – there’s little chance of winning against them, but who knows, you might just survive the night!

Tickets on sale at 12:00pm on Thursday 15th October from here.
