Game Nights!

[Bruce al'Kay]

Hello all!

So, some of you may know that one of my biggest hobbies is board games of all types. A lot of the big name publishers have really stepped up their game recently in terms of releasing digital editions of popular titles. On top of that, there are some other (non-board game) things that can easily be played with lots of people. For example, the Jackbox Party pack games only require the host to own the digital title - other people can play along without buying the game.

If there's interest, I would love to get a regular Tower Game Night going! If you might want to participate, please let us know:

A) What games you would be interested in playing via steam (or a different platform that's better for you)?
B) When is a good time for you to play?

For Myself
I would love to get groups for:

Jackbox Party Pack Games (Infinite Players)
Mysterium (Up to 7 players I think)
Charterstone (Up to 6)
Love Letter (2-4)
Smallworld 2 (2-5)
Lords of Waterdeep (2-5)
Scythe (2-6 I think?)
Twilight Struggle (2)

I can usually play weekdays after about 6pm.

Hope to get some board games going, but if not, no worries xD

Has this gone anywhere? I haven't played those games but I'm interested.

 

[Erin al'Denael]

@Bruce al'Kay, I'll totally jump in for some Jackbox games.

 

[Bruce al'Kay]

It has not gone anywhere yet, but let's try and get something going! Is there a night in the next couple weeks that works for people?

 

[Trystyne Telyan]

Thursday and Friday doesn't work for me but any other day is fine. I need to be taught the games, though.

 

[Lokadien Vianharl]

I would also be interested in setting up some kind of group for this.

I have several of the Jackbox games (and can purchase 5 and 6 if needed), so that's an option.

Also, if there is a more traditional table top game that is of interest, I would recommend doing a zoom/skype/whatever call for the social aspect, and then using Board Game Arena or a similar service to be the actual game. That seems like it would be the best of both worlds.

 

[Trystyne Telyan]

Great news! We have people!

 

[Polegnyn Nemeara]

I'm interested in this if I know how to play the game. Maybe a beginner game night?

We could learn them! Good idea.

 

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

I'd be interested in trying.

 

[Bruce al'Kay]

edit - sorry, forgot someone can't do thursdays.

What about Wednesday, June 24? I can start anytime after 5pm pacific (8pm eastern). I think Erin has a great point and if we try just the jackbox games for now none of them take more than about 10 minutes I don't think

 

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

Doable time for me.

Just provide some basic instructions on how to join.

 

[Trystyne Telyan]

I can do it!

 

[Bruce al'Kay]

I am putting it on my calendar! I will post in here relentlessly and spam the discord as we get closer to it

 

[Trystyne Telyan]

I have it on my calendar. I’ll try to help spread the news too. I think it’s going to be really fun!

 

[Polegnyn Nemeara]

Put me down as a “maybe” It’s on my calendar, but never know how tired I’ll be in the evenings.

 

[Mendo Cath]

I'm responding so I can get replies on this!

@Bruce al'Kay, Let (PM) me know if you want posts in discord announcements / need to use event rooms for anything scheduled in advance and not adhoc.

 

[Bruce al'Kay]

Are people down to start at 6pm pacific (9pm eastern? If that's too late we could do 5:15 or 5:30, and the games are pretty short.

 

[Bruce al'Kay]

I can be online at 5:30 Pacific on wednesday, so I'll just do that. Hope to see as many people there as can make it And if you're running late, feel free to drop in later on, the games are really short and you can join the next one.

 

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

Looking forward to it.
