A group is a small, closed circle of OpenRift users, like a regular playgroup, your locals, or a Discord trade channel. Inside a group, members share wishlists and tradelists with each other, pool cards into group collections, share their personal binders for others to peek at, and see matches when one member's wants overlap with another's haves.
Joining a group always requires an admin to approve. Nobody can see your lists by joining anonymously.
Sharing a list with a group is per-list and per-group. Sharing your wishlist with "Tuesday Crew" doesn't share it with "Cube Night", and unsharing later only affects that one group. The list itself never leaves your account, only the contents become visible to the members of that one group.
Every member has one of three roles. Each group has exactly one owner.
Open Groups from the top navigation and click New group.
You join someone else's group through their invite link, and an admin has to let you in.
Open the group, scroll to Settings → Share your lists, and tick the lists you want to share. Untick to stop sharing. Wishlists and tradelists feed the matches section. Organize lists are visible to members but don't generate matches.
The Matches section at the top of the group page shows two views:
Click a member name on any match row to jump to their profile inside the group, which shows every match you have with that specific person. If a section is empty, it's either because nobody's shared the relevant kind of list yet, or because nothing actually overlaps right now. See Cards, Printings & Copies for how matches handle different printings of the same card.
Once trades are underway, the Trades page under More → Organize lists everyone you're trading with across all your groups, with the people waiting on you first. Its badge in the menu counts people, not cards.
A group collection is a pooled inventory that any member of the group can add to or remove from. It's useful for a club cube, a draft pool, or a binder you run together with friends.
Group collections appear in your own collection sidebar alongside your private collections, with a group badge so you can tell them apart. They behave the same way as any other collection: cards can be moved in and out, filtered, searched, and printed as proxies. See Managing Your Collection for the details.
You can also let group members peek at one of your own personal binders without giving up control. Open a collection's share dialog and tick the groups you want to share it with under Share with friend groups. Members see a read-only view of the cards, just like an anonymous share link, but only while they're signed in and a member of the group.
On the group page, every shared personal binder is listed under Personal collections, subgrouped by owner. Click one to open its read-only browser. Leaving the group, or unticking the group in the share dialog, immediately revokes access.
The Members section lists everyone in the group with their role. Click a member to open their profile inside this group, which shows their shared lists and your matches with them specifically.
Add your contact methods once in your profile (Discord, Signal, phone, email, or wherever people reach you), then open a group's settings to choose which of them to share with that group. Shared contacts appear next to your name on the Members and Trades pages, visible only to that group's members, so the people you're trading with know how to reach you.
