TTS is a such a blast. I have a group of five friends who play Wingspan every week and the winner gets to flip the table. Such a satisfying experience! Also, secretly making your opponents pieces slightly bigger or smaller can be a fun way to stay occupied between turns.

Awesome, thanks for the link! I'm working on an addendum to the article for game-specific sites. This is perfect.

Yeah, VASSAL is a good alternative to TTS! I left it out because I'm personally not into war games which feels like it's strength. But I would definitely be open to learning it and adding it to the article.

Apparently almost everyone is playing with the same "house rules" that make the game awful. Free parking is not a rule and just makes the game go longer. Not automatically putting up unpurchased properties for auction is also a big rule to miss.

Wow, that sounds pretty cool though! I wonder if there are any video services that offer pinch-to-zoom.

An alternative would be to open a video chat in your browser. Then, on a Mac, you can zoom in with your touchpad. But I think zooming on the page in any browser should work, right?

I've never used that service, thanks for the advice! I would love to cancel my Zoom account if possible.

I have a group of friends that is doing the "IRL" board game setup that you mentioned. They have a tripod and like three devices for household. I'll see if I can get more info on how they have it working.
