Board Game Arena has about a bazillion games available, some of which are actually good! And it’s got a pretty slick front end, with only minimal nagging to pay for a premium account. Even if you don’t have a premium account, you’ll find plenty of Qt3 folks willing to host games and post links where you can join.
Here is the link to our public user group. Feel free to join! Also feel free to jump into the thread to request players, to ask about specific games on BGA, or even to request that someone host a game. For more general boardgame discussions, here’s this year’s thread and if you search for specific titles, you might even find dedicated threads for those. Welcome and we hope to see you at the virtual table!
There is a Qto3 group (Qto3 • Board Game Arena) but I’m not an admin, I either can’t or don’t know how to add people. So we could revive that if any of the admins are still around or create a new one. Groups are useful because you can limit games to people in a group.
However, because of the way BGA works, saying “I’m up for a game” doesn’t really work. You have to create a specific game with a specific number of players, then either invite specific people or limit it to a group and then hope people show up.
I think we should make a new group - i see lots of Qt3 people joining, and already have a great game of Memoir going with bmarinari! Implementation works GREAT for that game, btw
Here are the folks running the current group under the name “Qto3”, which seems to be set up as an invite-only group and has nothing to do with me:
Since I either don’t know who they are or haven’t seen them in any boardgaming threads lately, I started a new BGA group under the name “Quarter to Three”. It’s public, anyone can join, and if anyone’s interested in playing something online, I’ll gladly join if it’s a game I know (sorry to be a wet blanket, but I’m not really interested in learning any new games these days).
I know I said I didn’t want to learn any new games, but for something as dumb as King of Tokyo, I’m happy to make an exception. So long as I don’t have to be a monkey.
I actually have King of Tokyo in my massive “to get rid of” pile. :) Somewhere along the way I thought it would be a good idea to own a copy, since it’s sort of the go-to for brainless King of the Hill action. But it’s probably only been played two or three times, tops.
Anyway, we only need one more to get some four-player kaiju action up in here. Oops, too late, it’s game on with @CaseyRobinson joining us and I’m the giant chicken. BAWK BAWK, emeffers!!!1!
