Vorpal Board Designer Interview (part 3)


Q: If I wanted to use Vorpal Board to play board games online with friends, what do I need? How much would my friends and I have to invest to use your system?



A: We generally think of users of the system as either hosts or guests. Hosts are the ones that will have the physical game present and the guests will join into the host’s game session. To get started, the host will need at least one smartphone to stream the tabletop, a mounting arm to mount the smartphone above the table, a browser capable device to show the virtual board and the video chat windows, and a hosting account on VorpalBoard.com. If the host is playing a game that will require them to scan cards secretly in real time during the game, they will need a card scanning box and a second smartphone to put in the box. Our Kickstarter pledge levels mirror these two usage levels. The first level is $75 plus shipping to get 1 year of hosting account access (planned at $5 per month post Kickstarter) and our smartphone mounting arm. The second level is $125 plus shipping to get 1 year of service, the mounting arm, and the card scanning box. We will also be offering a Kickstarter exclusive lifetime access option for an additional $100 for either tier. Guests will need to have a browser capable device to see the web application and will not be required to have an account and will be charged no fees to use the service.
