Dear nerdy board gaming friends:
I'd love to play my card game, Peeve Wars, with a friend across the country while live streaming.
Is there a way to somehow do that?
For example, I thought of having my husband make two identically ordered decks, and then I could mail the other player one, and we could use our duplicate decks to play together (with some "promise not to look" activity), but then I realized you usually have to shuffle the discard pile and my scheme fell apart!
@grammargirl The perfect tool for this exists:
@peterdrake @grammargirl I’ve been researching ways to simulate my card game (ahem, workshop facilitation tool). Same issues—I have too many cards.
I REALLY don’t want to have to code my own interface. 😅
I second this, I've made a lot of prototypes with it, also with my own designed cards. You can have any size deck you want, you can also say I want this card 3 times.
@grammargirl I've thought about building a robot for this but it has...not materialized yet 😅
If you're open to playing virtually, Tabletop Simulator is a very flexible tabletop gaming system that would definitely support Peeve Wars. It would require some prep to create the deck, but they've got the process pretty streamlined with a nice blog post outlining how: https://blog.tabletopsimulator.com/blog/create-cards-for-your-game-with-tts
