Rules clarifications

I’m new. What do I do when I get there?

Tell an organiser it’s your first time and we’ll find you a table.

What do you play?

Mostly party games: Codenames, Just One, Anomia, Exploding Kittens, Telestrations and One Night Werewolf. To see what’s coming tonight, check the RSVP page: people going list the games they’re bringing. Bring a favourite if you like.

Do I need an account to RSVP?

No. One tap on the RSVP page says you’re coming; add your name to see who else is. Sign in only if you want to change your RSVP from another device, add friends or list your games.

What if my plans change?

Change your RSVP to “Can’t make it” on the same device (or signed in), so the count stays right.
