Frequently asked questions
Everything you'll want to know before your first game. If your question isn't here, write to us.
You can look around without signing in: open games, venues, the calendar and the community page are all public.
Posting a game, answering one and messaging need you to sign in. No password: pick a method on the sign-in page — for example, we email you a sign-in link. Then add a name and a few details about yourself, and you're set.
The site is free, and it carries no ads.
Right now: Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, Warcry, Horus Heresy, Warhammer: The Old World, Necromunda, Middle-earth SBG, Blood Bowl, Star Wars: Shatterpoint, StarCraft: TMG, Trench Crusade, Malifaux and Bolt Action.
If yours isn't listed, pick "Other system" and say what you play in the notes. Missing a system? Tell us at the bottom of the home page and we'll add it.
Answer their post: pick a time and a venue, and add a short message. Once they accept, the game gets its own chat, where you sort out the details.
When someone answers your post, you decide whether to accept. You're notified on the site about new answers and messages — and by push notification too, if you turn it on.
The Venues page lists clubs, cafés and stores in Budapest and across Hungary, grouped by location: address, opening hours, number of tables and the table fee where we know it. The venue sets the fee and you pay them, not us.
You book the table through the venue's own system, by email, or on the spot. The game's page helps with that. Playing at someone's home is an option too.
Post a game with the "Learning" style. Your army is optional — just mention in the notes that you don't have one yet.
The cogitator pairs learners first with people posting as "Teaching", who are happy to walk you through a first game.
Your post stays up until it expires — you choose when, up to 60 days. If someone posts a game that fits yours in the meantime, we let you know.
Until someone answers it, you can withdraw it at any time.
On My account you can change your name, picture, status and location (county, or district in Budapest). Your username is your profile's link, so it can't be changed.
You can delete your account there too, immediately and for good. Games you played stay, shown as "Deleted player", because they are your opponents' results as well.
