Board games, video games, tabletop RPGs, arcade nights — gaming is a low-pressure way to spend time together that doesn't require small talk. Hottub gaming groups meet at game cafes, libraries, comic shops, and online.
Sometimes. Most board-game cafes have a library; tabletop-RPG groups often have a campaign already running and a spare character sheet for newcomers. The Host will tell you in the description.
Beginner-welcome is the default in most groups. Look for "newcomers welcome" or "we'll teach the rules" in the description.
Our team creates Hottubs — tell us what's worth gathering around near you and we review every suggestion.
