Casual weekly games night, 16-24 players
Free Events tier. Recurring Friday 7-11pm at the local pub. 4 tables (Catan, Pandemic, Eldritch, big-box). Game-preference question at signup. Free for everyone, BYO snacks.
Per-table capacity (4 for Catan, 6 for Pandemic, 8 for the new big-box). Game-preference questions at signup. Recurring weekly meetups at the same venue. No app for your players. No fees, ever, for free meetups.
Most board games cap at exactly 4, 5, 6, or 8 players. Some go to 12 with party games. The constraint is the game, not the venue. Most RSVP tools don't understand this. They give you "10 spots available" — fine for a yoga class, useless for a games night where you actually have a 4-player Catan and a 6-player Eldritch Horror running side-by-side.
Who's In lets you set up each table as its own RSVP slot. Catan table: 4. Pandemic table: 6. Big-box new release: 8. Players RSVP for the table they want. Waitlist auto-promotes when someone drops. Game-preference question at signup so you can pre-pair players to tables. Recurring weekly meetups at the same venue setup once.
It's free for free meetups. Studio plan ($15.83/mo annual) if you run a paid game café or charge venue fees.
You're not alone. These are the challenges we hear every day.
Catan: 4. Pandemic: 4. Eldritch Horror: 6. Battlestar Galactica: 6. Avalon: 10. Without per-table capacity, you're managing this manually for 4 simultaneous tables on a Friday night.
Half your group only plays cooperative games. Half loves heavy strategy. You announce the games last-minute, and three people don't show up because nothing on offer interests them.
One thread for "Friday night casuals", one for "RPG campaign", one for "wargaming". Cross-pollination is impossible. New members don't know which thread to join.
Every Friday 7pm at the local pub. Every week you create a new "Friday Game Night" RSVP form. By month 3, you've automated nothing and you've stopped enjoying it.
Set up your Friday night with multiple tables: Catan (4), Pandemic (4), Eldritch Horror (6), big-box (8). Each table is its own RSVP slot with its own waitlist. Players choose the game they want to play.
Each table shows the game name, complexity (light / medium / heavy), playtime estimate, and player count. Players know what they're signing up for before they RSVP.
Friday 7pm casual + Sunday 2pm RPG campaign, set up once. Each week's session is created automatically. Edit one specific Sunday's location without breaking the recurring pattern.
"Cooperative / Competitive / Party / Strategy / RPG / Wargaming". Required signup question. Coordinator sees player preferences and can pre-pair players to tables based on taste.
Confirmed players get a reminder the day before with the table line-up. They show up knowing what game they're playing, who else is at their table, and whether to bring their own copy.
Players tap your link in the WhatsApp group, RSVP for their preferred table, done. No download. No account. No password.
Free Events tier. Recurring Friday 7-11pm at the local pub. 4 tables (Catan, Pandemic, Eldritch, big-box). Game-preference question at signup. Free for everyone, BYO snacks.
Free Events tier. Recurring Sunday 2-6pm. Capacity 6 (5 players + GM). Strict no-substitutes (because campaign continuity). Custom field for character class.
Studio plan ($15.83/mo annual). Recurring 5 nights per week. Multi-table setup. $5 entry collected via Stripe. Member packs (10-night pack for $40). Apple Wallet member pass.
Fine for 6 friends. Breaks at 16+ players across multiple tables. No per-table capacity. No game info. New members have no way to find the right thread.
Works for online play. For in-person meetups, the venue + game info + capacity per table doesn't translate. Players still confused about which table is which.
“Our group runs 4 tables every Friday night and a Sunday RPG campaign. Used to be a Google Sheet + WhatsApp + my brain trying to remember who plays what. Switched to Who's In. Per-table capacity ended the "wait, is this a 4-player or 6-player game?" confusion overnight.”
Real questions from board game group organizers.
Free for free meetups. Per-table capacity. No app for your players.
