π²
Ludo
2β6 players
The board everyone grew up with, for two to six. Four seats on the classic cross, a bigger round board for five or six.
π² Games
Sixteen games, and the people you are playing with.
Every game here sits in a room with video and chat, because the game is only half of it. Try any of them against friendly bots right now, with no account, then send one link to your people.
π΄
Last Card
2β6 players
Our UNO-style card game: match the colour or the number, play your skips and reverses, shout when you are down to one.
π§
Pub Quiz
2β8 players
Everyone answers in secret, then the answers turn over at once. Nobody is ever asked the same question twice.
π
Poker
2β6 players
Texas hold them with play money. No stakes, all the bluffing, and the faces are the tell.
π
Act it out
2β8 players
Charades for a video call. Act, draw or describe while the rest shout guesses in the chat.
βοΈ
Sketch it
2β8 players
The drawing game: one person draws the word, everyone else types guesses. Like Pictionary or skribbl, with the faces beside the board.
πΎ
Spin the bottle
2β6 players
The bottle picks somebody, a question comes with it. The icebreaker for a group that has just met.
π΄
Four in a Row
2 players
Drop your disc, block theirs, win on the diagonal nobody saw coming.
β
Tic-Tac-Toe
2 players
Ten seconds to learn, best of five to settle. The quickest way to start talking to somebody.
π€
Would you rather
2β8 players
Two options, everybody votes at the same time, and the split only shows once the last vote is in. Then you argue.
π―
Truth or dare
2β8 players
Pick a pile on your turn. Truths you can answer at a dinner table, dares you can do on camera, and passing is allowed.
π
Never have I ever
2β8 players
Ten fingers each. A statement appears, everybody answers at once, and every yes costs a finger.
π€
Hangman
2β8 players
One word, everybody calls letters in turn, six wrong letters for the whole table. Categories, so nobody loses on a word they have never met.
π
Dominoes
2β6 players
Two to six at the table, pairs for four. Match an end of the line, draw when nothing fits, and count pips when the game is blocked.
π΄
Checkers
2 players
Draughts on eight by eight. Taking is compulsory, and a piece that can take again keeps going.
βοΈ
Chess
2 players
A real board with a clock, and the person you are playing on camera beside it.
Why a game makes the call easier
A video call with nothing in it runs out after twenty minutes: the news, the weather, the silence. A game gives the quiet people something to do and the talkative ones something to react to, and an hour goes by without anybody checking the time.
That is why the games live at the table rather than in another tab. The faces stay on screen while you play, you can switch the game without leaving the room, and bots hold the empty seats until everyone has arrived.
How to get a game night to happen
Pick a night, say how many people it needs, and share one link. It's on once your people are in, so nobody has to be the first to commit and nobody ends up waiting in an empty room. Tick every week and the next one opens by itself.
How to run a game night βTry one now, invite after.
No account for the bots. One link for your friends.
