MAJOR UPDATE V.1.3

March 24, 2026

All On Board! keeps growing, and today we’re happy to share a new update with you. Update 1.3 brings a new game to the catalog, new features for the platform, and improvements that make learning and connecting with other players easier.

Many of these changes come from feedback we’ve received from the community, so thank you for continuing to help us shape the experience.

Let’s take a look at what’s new in this update!

NEW ADDITION TO THE CATALOG

All On Board! continues to expand its catalog, and today we’re happy to introduce a new title to the platform in collaboration with Mighty Boards: “Hamlet: The Village Building Game”.

Hamlet joins the All On Board! catalog, bringing its village-building experience to VR and XR. In the game, players contribute to the development of a small settlement by constructing buildings, producing resources, and helping complete the church, all while competing to become the village’s greatest benefactor.

Key Features

Competitive village building with a shared economy
Gridless tile placement using irregular tiles
Organic village layouts with high replayability
Strategic planning focused on paths and resource flow
Communal buildings that encourage player interaction
Includes a themed scenario and a dedicated soundtrack
Available in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish
Easy to learn with dedicated learning resources

As with every title on the platform, Hamlet has been carefully adapted so that interacting with its components feels natural and intuitive in VR. Our goal is always the same: stay faithful to the original board game while making the experience smooth and comfortable at the virtual table.

We’ve also prepared a dedicated in-game video tutorial that walks players through the basics of Hamlet step by step:

If you’d like to try it before jumping into a full game, Hamlet will also be available through the Game Preview feature. It will also join the Free Game of the Week rotation, so keep an eye on it and make sure to give it a try!

NEW PLATFORM FEATURES

CONTROLLER AID

If you’re new to All On Board!, or returning after some time away, getting used to the controls can sometimes take a moment.

That’s why we’ve added Controller Aid, a contextual help system that shows the most relevant controller inputs when interacting with components. It’s designed to make learning the basics quicker and help players feel comfortable with the platform right away.

It’s a small addition, but one that should make the first minutes in the game much smoother.

PRIVATE GAMES VISIBILITY

Private games will now appear in the hub’s list of active sessions.

These matches can’t be joined unless you’ve been invited, but they give you a better idea of what’s currently being played on the platform.

HELP US IMPROVE ALL ON BOARD!

From time to time, you may see a message inviting you to rate your experience with All On Board!

If you choose to do so, the game will open the Meta Quest Store page where you can leave a review and share your thoughts.

Your feedback really helps us keep improving the platform, so thank you to everyone who takes the time to support us!

FIND AND SCHEDULE GAMES – NEW FEATURES!

The Find and Schedule Games platform continues to evolve with a new tool designed to help players organize sessions more easily.

With this update, users can now send invitations to scheduled games. This makes it easier to coordinate sessions with other players. Whether you’re planning games in advance or just gathering a group, this addition should make organizing matches easier.

IMPROVEMENTS & QUALITY OF LIFE

This update also introduces improvements aimed at making it easier to learn and navigate the platform.

LEARNING HUB – HAMLET

Version 1.3 now includes dedicated learning resources for Hamlet available through the Learning Hub, making it easier for new players to understand the game and get started.

Players can now consult the full rulebook directly within the platform, explore a dedicated wiki, access quick references to help during gameplay, and watch the brand-new video tutorial.

BUG FIXES

We’ve also addressed a number of issues reported by players and identified during internal testing.

These fixes focus on improving stability, usability, and overall platform reliability, helping ensure a smoother experience when interacting with game components, navigating the interface, and playing with others online.

We’re always grateful to everyone who takes the time to share feedback with us. It genuinely helps us keep improving All On Board!

EVERYTHING IN 1.3!

Here’s a quick recap of what’s new in Update 1.3:

A new game joins the catalog: “Hamlet: The Village Building Game”, including a fully themed scenario and a dedicated soundtrack.
New platform features: Controller Aid, direct access to the Meta Horizon community space, private games visibility in the hub, and a new in-game rating request.
A new update to the Learning Hub: learn how to play Hamlet with a variety of learning resources, including the rulebook, wiki, quick references, and our latest video tutorial.

We’ll keep updating All On Board! with new games, improvements, and features, and your feedback will continue to be an important part of that journey.

Thanks for being part of it.

See you on board!
