Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between OPEN and CLOSED sessions?
A: A closed session requires specific preparation, knowledge, or experience beforehand. Therefore, they are limited to a predetermined set of players who previously committed to that game. These tend to be legacy, campaign, and/or story-based games spanning multiple sessions by the same group of players. In contrast, open sessions do not require a prior commitment, knowledge, or preparation and all interested players are welcome.
Q: What’s the atmosphere like?
A: It’s a casual, family-friendly environment.
Games are often new to the players. We allow “take backs” and retroactive actions if not too much time has elapsed.
Vulgarity, short tempers, and bad manners are not tolerated.
Our laid-back style tends to reflect in our game choices: we haven’t played games heavy with “take that!” or player elimination. They aren’t prohibited, just not what’s typically played.
Q: Are children invited?
A: Games are medium weight. Parents know their child’s abilities best, and if they have the ability to play at an adult level they are welcome.
Q: Can players veto a game?
A: Yes, on moral grounds. For example, Secret Hitler, Cards Against Humanity, The Blessed Dark, Septima, etc. But please don’t veto games based on just style preferences—be willing to play other games if you want people to play your games.
Q: How heavy of a game is the group willing to go?
A: Time is the biggest constraint for our weeknight window, so games should finish in under three hours (including setup, teach, and cleanup). Therefore, that typical equates to medium weight games. Look at our calendar of past sessions to get an idea of what weights we typically play.
Q: Is vaccination or masking required?
A: No, except when mandated by local laws.
