Tabletop games that can be adapted for remote play
Tips
To adapt games for remote play:
- use a camera to share publicly visible information (or hidden information before the game starts)
- share pictures/scans of things players need to read as part of the game in advance
- one person may need to move pieces on behalf of the other players and read out information
- players may need to keep track of additional information themselves (e.g. on paper)
- label grids to make it easier for remote players to call out where they want to play
