Hi everyone :)

In an effort to find more time to relax and unwind, while deeply missing my usual game nights with friends that dissipated during world events in the past few years, I decided on a whim to start hosting online game nights myself with zero prior experience and a bunch of nerdy gamer pony friends.  ^.^

So far, we have been alternating between Jackbox Games (we now have 25+ games to choose from!) and Fall Guys, and plan on expanding to new games as we go along.

I am placing a heavy focus on
1) Playing games that are FREE to play (or buying them myself so you don't have to) and
2) Making all content family-friendly.

You're welcome to check out our past game nights here: https://www.youtube.com/@MustBeJewel1/streams (https://www.youtube.com/@MustBeJewel1/streams)

Feel free to stop by and join us for relaxing evenings of nerdy fun with fellow pony pals:

Happy gaming! <3

RULES
1. Please do not give away trivia answers in the chat. Only discuss answers after the timer has run out.

3. Grab your favorite snack and a drink, put your feet up, and enjoy! <3

If everyone else is able to access the stream and participate in the game, I will likely not be able to help you with technical support during the livestream.
