## A tabletop simulator ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Airboardgame is a tabletop simulator to play your favorite board games with your
|
|
friends online. It's not a game engine, it's just a tabletop simulator of what you can
|
|
do with a real table. You share a common space with other players like if you were is the same room.
|
|
If you move something or if you flip a card, other players see
|
|
this action and can respond in real time.
|
|
|
|
Hint: you really should use an audio conference application to speak with other players.
