Vorpal Board Designer Interview (part 4)


Vorpal Board is streaming a Solar Echoes game this Saturday (5/11) at 9pm, EST! I hope to see you there at: https://www.twitch.tv/VorpalBoard

Q: I'm very excited that you've chosen Solar Echoes as one of the games you'll feature in a streaming demonstration of Vorpal Board. How well does it play using Vorpal Board?

A: Solar Echoes plays very will on Vorpal Board. When running a Solar Echoes game, you only need to have the 3 cards per player and those can be pre-scanned. This means that players who wanted to use Vorpal Board to play Solar Echoes would only need a single smartphone. The method that we stream the tabletop (using high resolution photos instead of video) means that players can zoom in closely to see the miniatures and whatever scenery/terrain is being used by the host. The heart of the game is of course in the player interactions as well as the speed of play and our embedded video chat for all players means that interaction between the GM and players is seamless.
