What we’re about
A social group for anyone in the London area interested in board games, video games, films, comic books and general geek culture.
We are now back to meeting in person every Saturday afternoon in the Fountain & Ink near Waterloo. In addition, we have a discord server where we have online gaming sessions on Wednesday evenings:
Our events are free, friendly and open to everyone regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, religious views or feelings about Jar Jar Binks being a good character ( Mildly nerdy Star Wars reference for you there). You don't have to bring anything and new nerds are very welcome if you don't know your Star Trek from your Star Wars fear not.
Also if you want to help us keep the lights on, consider supporting us on patreon, at https://www.patreon.com/OverBoardLondon
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- OverBoard plays Blood on the Clocktower (Online Edition)Link visible for attendees
This will be a beginner friendly game so no experience with the game is necessary.
An link to an online session will be sent to members that RSVP the event. You will need to create a free account on online.bloodontheclocktower.com before joining the session.
You will need a working microphone to play, with a camera being optional.
Blood on the Clocktower is a highly engaging and addictive social bluffing game. Find out more about it at bloodontheclocktower.com
It offers extremely high replayability because:
* All players are in it for the entire game, staying on as influential ghosts even if their characters die! In Blood on the Clocktower, death is not the end...
* Players may enter a game after it starts as powerful Traveler characters.
* Every player has an individual character that is powerful, knows something, or comes with a unique challenge. No two players are ever the same and no two games are ever alike.
* Drunkenness, madness, and poisoning means that you can never trust anyone completely, not even yourself.
* The most dynamic moderator role of any bluffing game - The Storyteller decides how to help, hinder, or mislead each team to craft a nail-biting experience each time.Each game lasts about an hour and so many games can be played in a single session, so feel free to drop by for one, some, or all games in a night. Try out your best tricks and charms as you make new friends - and then accuse them of murder.
