Virtual Game Nights

We’re currently putting together a concept for Pop-Up Nomads Virtual Game Nights: a low-pressure way for people in the community to keep seeing familiar faces even when we’re scattered across different places.

The idea is to use Discord for voice or video chat alongside online platforms that let us play card games, board games, and other games together. We don’t want every game night to look exactly the same. The games and platforms can change over time as we learn what works best and as people in the community bring new ideas.

The bigger goal is simple: create another way to reconnect consistently over long stretches of travel. Even when everyone is off doing their own thing, a virtual game night can give us a reason to see the same faces again, play something together, and maintain the kinds of relationships that can otherwise be difficult to keep up on the road.

There is no fixed schedule yet. We’re still exploring the format, researching platforms, and figuring out what makes these nights work best. If you already know a great online game or platform that would fit this kind of community, we’d love to hear your recommendations.
