Show HN: Board Games with Video Chat Tl;dr: Would like to hear thoughts on board games platform prototype (https://ift.tt/3vpO6TE) We are building an online board games platform which lets you create & play any board game online while video chatting with your co-players. Game play resembles the real world where users have to do everything from moving the pieces to enforcing the rules. We are quite early in our journey. We prototyped Chess to see if people would be interested in this direction. Please try it here! (https://ift.tt/3vpO6TE) You can enter your name that creates a new game session and you can invite others to join the session by sharing the URL. We are aware of the existing solutions like Tabletopia, Boardgamearena, etc. But we think that human connection which we all enjoy while playing games is missing that’s been the centerpiece of our current direction. We would like to hear from you about how you would like to use it vs why you wouldn’t use it. May 27, 2021 at 01:30AM
