Get Gaming Online

Let's play some online board games! For this, you will only need access to zoom, a browser and potentially something to write on. Some games we might play are: Just One, Codenames, A Fake Artist Goes to New York, Sushi Go, Challengers, Stella Dixit, Love Letter, 6 Nimmt, Incan Gold, King of Tokyo, Coup, Bang. We're also open to suggestions. A lot of the games are on a website called boardgamearena.com so it is worth signing up to that (it's free).

We will split up into breakout rooms to play a variety of games, if you would like to host a room for a particular game, or have something in mind you would like to play, then please comment below! PLEASE NOTE: the number of people we can handle is directly related to how many hosts we end up with on any given night. We will always guarantee 20 spaces on a first come first served basis, and will admit more to the meeting if we have enough hosts to run more breakout rooms/games.
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 gate crasher.

Is one of your new year's resolutions to read more in 2026? Let's make it easy and read a book with lots of pictures! Well, actually, I'm suggesting to read the classic manga, Lone Wolf and Cub.

This will be a book club style review 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 and any closing thoughts.

We'll be covering Lone Wolf and Cub: The Assassin's Road (Volume 1). Here's some blurb:
Lone Wolf and Cub: The Assassin's Road (Volume 1) introduces Ogami Ittō, the Shogun's disgraced executioner, and his toddler son, Daigorō, as they wander Edo-period Japan as masterless samurai (ronin) taking on lethal assassin jobs to fund their quest for revenge against the powerful Yagyū clan who framed them and murdered his wife.

At the moment you can get a digital version of Lone Wolf and Cub: The Assassin's Road (Volume 1) and some other comics as part of a Humble Bundle starting at £0.74. If you prefer a physical copy then this omnibus edition includes volumes 1 and 2 plus some of volume 3 at £14.99.

We will join a zoom call for our discussions. We will post the link roughly 10 minutes before the start of the meeting.

Here's our Code of Conduct.

1. We'll use the official BOTC App, so🎮Create an Account before the event.
2. Read our BOTC - Players Guide - Read through this before joining a session

The host will guide you during the game, but please come with a basic understanding of the rules. Feel free to message the host with any question before the session.

IMPORTANT: We operate on a first come, first served basis. The game supports up to 15 players, so only the first 15 to claim a seat can play. The game link is posted 5 minutes before, make sure you have an account and you’re set to join.

We are sorry if the game is full when you try to join, you’re welcome to spectate. If time allows and the host is able to, we might run a second game. Otherwise, we hope to see you at a future session!

Join us for a fun, social evening of bluffing, deduction, and chaos! If you enjoy the games, consider supporting us on Ko-Fi. Here’s our Code of Conduct.
