What we’re about
Get Gaming Online: Obsidian is for players who want to dive into complex (often smaller), longer or harder-to-learn games.
Sessions are over Zoom and we'll be playing things like Wingspan, Carcassone, Isle of Cats, Blood Rage, Castles of Burgundy, Settlers of Catan and more. You'll be expected to have a good understanding of the rules already or attend a designated 'learn to play session' first.
Applications for Obsidian are required and every membership request will be reviewed and approved by the GGO Admin Team. We're looking for gamers who will be excellent to each other (insert air guitar), know the rules and attend every RSVP.
Even though we're playing different games, being friendly and welcoming is still of paramount importance! We'll always adhere to our GGO Code of Conduct and you may be removed if you ghost an event, violate the CoC or aren't prepared. (We may also need to introduce an event fee if no-shows are an issue.)
So, if you wanna play more complex games online with other fabulous tabletop nerds, apply for Obsidian today!
And, if you want a more casual experience where you can learn games on the day, why not try our main group, Get Gaming Online? It’s a great place to relax, play some party games and meet new people.
