About us
Born during lockdown this group aims to provide opportunities to play fun and friendly online games!
Sessions are over Zoom and we play things like Werewolf, games on Board Game Arena like King of Tokyo, Incan Gold, Just One, Coup, 6 Nimmt, and other digital versions of board games including Codenames, Fake Artist and Gartic Phone.
The main rule we have is to be excellent to each other (insert air guitar). This group is all about having a bit of fun so being friendly and welcoming is of paramount importance! We welcome players of all experience levels and from all backgrounds. Here's our Code of Conduct. If you want to get gaming online then sign-up for a session!

Werewolf
·OnlineOnlineWerewolf is a fun social deduction game that works really well on Zoom.
Here's a short video on very roughly how it plays: Video
Also a video on the rules is here: RulesEveryone is living together in a nice peaceful village, well, until werewolves start eating people of a night time. And the most impolite thing? Some of the villagers are actually the werewolves! Rude. The game runs in phases, the day phase and the night phase. During the day phase, everyone discusses who they think is suspicious and might be a hidden furbag. They then vote on that person and if the village agrees they're a werewolf, they are immediately killed! You then find out if you were right, or if you just murdered an innocent human. During the night phase, the werewolves secretly decide on who dinner is that evening. That person is then killed. This cycle of day and night continues until either all the werewolves are dead, or the werewolves equal the villagers in numbers. Don't worry though, there are some special villagers who will have abilities to help you root out these hairy pests!
Please have a pen and paper to write on, or preferably a thick marker pen as you may need to show names to the zoom camera. Alternatively you can use an app on your phone like "Large Text" in android or "MEGATEXT Led Banner Text" in iOS.
We'll be aiming to start the game around 7:10pm at the latest so please try to be on time. Note, in the event more than 24 people join the call, the first 24 will get priority in playing. (Zoom only allows 25 people on the screen at once so that's our limit)
The Zoom link will be posted on this meetup page roughly 10 minutes before the meeting starts. Please join the meeting with your zoom user name matching the name you use on meetup so we can be sure you're not a random gatecrasher.

Graphic Novel Book Club: My Favourite Thing Is Monsters (Volume 1)
·OnlineOnlineAnother one of our occasional graphic novel reviews where we'll start off with each of us giving a 2 or 3 minute summary of what we thought of the book. We'll then have an open discussion on any particular aspects of the book that drew our attention. At the end we'll go round again and get everyone’s score out of 10 for the book together with any closing thoughts.
This time we'll be covering My Favourite Things Is Monsters. Here's some blurb:
Set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late ’60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is the fictional graphic diary of 10-year-old Karen Reyes, filled with B-movie horror and pulp monster magazines iconography. Karen Reyes tries to solve the murder of her enigmatic upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg, a holocaust survivor, while the interconnected stories of those around her unfold. When Karen’s investigation takes us back to Anka’s life in Nazi Germany, the reader discovers how the personal, the political, the past, and the present converge.New physical copies are fairly expensive on Amazon but cheaper digitally on Kindle or for free on Kindle Unlimited.
If you'd prefer to attend in-person discussion of this book then check out the meetup event hosted by our friends over at the Horror Book Club the evening before our event.
We will join a zoom call for our discussions. We will post the link roughly 10 minutes before the start of the meeting.
