BoardGameDays Online
General Information
To still bring board games to you during the Coronavirus outbreak, we decided to go digitize the event. We will meet up at GECo Discord and from there you can look for other players in the #lobby (be sure to go to the "Channel Unlocker" to see the Board Game Days Channel). If you found someone, you can go to one of the table channels to play. It is recommended to have a headset or some kind of headphones with a microphone that you can talk to the other players. The event will be free and will be from 15:00 to 22:00 but of course you can come and leave whenever you want. More detailed information on how it works can be found on the Discord Server under #info.

Tabletop Simulator
Tabletop Simulator is a Steam game where you can play thousands of free board games, a lot of them highly automated. It costs 19.- (14.- if you find three friends and buy the 4-pack) but it's a one-time purchase, forever. It's not free but provides the most possible games by far.
