The Location:

This year AGOG will be virtual. Our CAM server has been customized to consider the needs of our members when viewing the MG presentation, participating in online games or in tournaments, and interacting with others. There is also the ability to solve a jigsaw puzzle or play trivia. Visit our Discord FAQ to get details including for which online games you need to preregister.

The AGOG Event:

Join us for a relaxing weekend of games. Bigger than a house party, smaller than an RG; usually well over a hundred friendly, albeit competitive, players. Join us and be prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

Save the Dates!

The Contacts:

Questions? E‑mail  the AGOG Chairs Heather B. and Greg H.

The AGOG Details:

Before AGOG: Here are the setup instructions for Discord. The CAM Discord Invitation Link, needed only by new Discord members, will be provided prior to the start of AGOG. If you don't have Discord already, we recommend you download the app and register at least 30 minutes before the event (see setup instructions); it’s free. Visit our FAQ webpage to get an idea of what our customized version of Discord offers, including a list of the online game websites which require advance registration. For example, if you’re interested in playing online games using Board Game Arena , the initial setup is a simple process; please sign up a day or two before the AGOG. After the setup, allow time to practice to familiarize yourself with Board Game Arena .

During AGOG: You can just open the Discord app (new Discord members will need to use our Invitation Link to join the event) and start socializing while playing games (see our FAQ regarding games to get an idea of what’s possible and which games require advance registration). You may wish to start in the find-a-game channel to see the list of games or join the voice channel corresponding to the game you’re interested in playing. The corresponding text channel includes helpful information including which games require advance registration.

Saturday: At 7:30 PM you have the option of listening to the Monthly Gathering presentation in the MG Speaker channel listed under Events. The topic will be game-related.

It’ll be an interesting experiment and aren’t you ready to try something fun and new? BYOB and snacks . Drop in any time to see how you like it and provide feedback.
